In commercial and retail investment property today, you can do well by implementing a ‘tenant retention’ strategy and service into the buildings owned by your good quality clients. The idea here is that you are helping your good clients keep desirable tenants and drop the poor quality tenants when lease expiry situations allow.
Why worry about this or do it? The facts are clear; today there are too many ordinary brokers and agents out there that do the ‘simple stuff’ with not much bias towards strategy or planning. If a client owns a well-situated property of a high grade and complexity, then they will appreciate the benefits of a tenant retention plan.

- Investment targets of the client
