Landlord representation services
Six services, run on every assignment, whether the building is a single-tenant retail box on a Jacksonville corridor or a multi-tenant office or medical property.
Pricing and positioning
An opinion of value built on live rent comparables, cap rates and true occupancy cost, so the asking rent survives the market instead of sitting for months.
Marketing and syndication
Listing on this site and Crexi, site signage, flyers and site plans, plus direct canvassing to tenants and brokers with active requirements.
Tenant qualification
Financial statements, credit, use approval, co-tenancy fit and references reviewed before a lease is negotiated, because a bad tenant costs more than vacancy.
Lease negotiation
Base rent, escalations, NNN and CAM, TI allowance, free rent, exclusivity, renewal options and guarantees, papered to protect the owner’s NOI.
Renewals and retention
Renewal pricing, expansion and contraction rights, and re-tenanting strategy before an expiring lease becomes a vacancy.
Sale and disposition prep
When the owner decides to sell, a leased-up building with clean documentation and known escalations is worth more and closes faster.

Landlord representation: frequently asked questions
Direct answers, in the order owners and asset managers usually ask them.
1. Commercial landlord representation services US
Clearpath Commercial provides commercial landlord representation for property owners: pricing the space, marketing it, qualifying tenants and negotiating leases on the owner’s side. The firm is based at 700 E Union St #170, Jacksonville, FL 32206, works Florida statewide, and covers other U.S. markets through licensed referral brokers, with broker/owner Melesia Ziller (Florida license CQ#1074131) reachable at 904-903-8755 or melesia@clearpathcommercialbroker.com, Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern.
Landlord representation covers office, retail, medical, industrial and warehouse, restaurant and flex space, for single-tenant and multi-tenant buildings, on lease and on sale.
2. What does a landlord representative do?
A landlord representative prices and markets the owner’s space, brings qualified prospects, negotiates the lease, and manages renewals so income stays steady. Clearpath Commercial also reviews each tenant’s financials and use before recommending a deal, tracks the leasing timeline against the owner’s budget, and keeps the rent roll, escalations and options documented for the eventual sale.
The landlord’s representative is legally on the landlord’s side of the table. A tenant should have their own broker, which costs the tenant nothing because the same commission pays both sides.
3. How much does landlord representation cost?
Landlord representation typically costs the owner nothing until a lease is signed. Clearpath Commercial sets its commission in the written listing agreement on market-standard terms for the building and lease term, paid at lease execution, with a share offered to a cooperating broker who brings the tenant. There is no retainer and no monthly marketing fee.
Ask for the listing agreement to state the commission, the cooperating broker split, the listing term and the cancellation terms in writing before signing.
4. How do you reduce vacancy in a commercial building?
Clearpath Commercial attacks vacancy on four fronts: correct pricing against live comparables, a marketing plan that reaches tenants with active requirements instead of only posting to portals, deal structure that uses TI allowance and free rent where they shorten time to occupancy, and re-tenanting or subdivision strategy when a space has sat too long. Pricing is the lever that moves fastest, and an overpriced building loses the tenants it could have signed.
Concessions are cheaper than vacancy. A few months of free rent and a modest TI allowance usually cost less than six more months of empty space.
5. Can the same broker represent the landlord and the tenant?
In Florida a broker may act as a transaction broker for both parties with written consent, under Section 475.278, Florida Statutes. Clearpath Commercial works both landlord and tenant assignments and discloses in writing when a client’s short-listed building is one of the firm’s own listings, so each side knows exactly which role the broker is playing before a tour.
Owners who want undivided advocacy should ask any brokerage how it handles a tenant it brings to its own listing, and get the answer in writing.
6. Which property types does Clearpath Commercial lease for owners?
Clearpath Commercial leases office, medical office, retail and shopping center, restaurant and drive-thru, industrial, warehouse and flex space for owners, and handles land and investment sales. Assignments range from a single vacant suite in a multi-tenant building to a full building repositioning or a distressed asset the owner needs to exit.
Distressed and bank-owned property is a specialty: tax delinquency, foreclosure timelines and lender negotiations change the leasing plan and the exit strategy.
