Tenant & Buyer Representation

We find the right space, then we get the deal done.

Whether you’re opening a new location, expanding into a second site, or buying for owner-occupancy, we represent your interests at every stage — from the long list of available properties to the final signature on a lease or purchase agreement.

What’s included

  • Market comps and rent benchmarks pulled from current and recent local transactions — not regional averages.
  • Zoning and permitting guidance for change-of-use, expansion, and special-permit scenarios.

Owner & Landlord Representation

Your property, brought to market with a strategy.

We list and sell across all commercial asset classes — and we treat every listing as a custom engagement, not a templated MLS dump. That means real research, deliberate marketing, qualified prospects only, and weekly reporting on every active listing.

Aerial documentation is included with every listing engagement above 5,000 SF — context matters when buyers are evaluating from a distance.

What’s included

  • Listing strategy across retail, office, industrial, flex, and land — for sale or for lease.
  • Pricing analysis built from current comps, time-on-market data, and asset-specific positioning.
  • Custom marketing: photography, floor plans, demographics, broker outreach, and listing syndication.
  • Tenant and buyer vetting — financials, references, intended use — before time gets spent on tours.
  • Lease negotiation with attention to rent escalations, NNN/gross structure, CAM, and term length.
  • Weekly activity reports with showings, inquiries, and comparable market movement.
  • Zoning and entitlement guidance to surface permitted uses and expand the qualified buyer pool.
  • Closing coordination across attorneys, lenders, inspectors, and title companies.

How we list a property.

A three-step engagement that does the work before the sign goes up. Discovery happens before pricing; strategy is agreed before marketing goes live; execution comes with weekly written reports.

01

Discover

Site walkthrough, financials review, comparable analysis. We learn the property and the market before we agree on a price — and before we tell you what we think it’ll do.

02

Strategize

Pricing, positioning, target audience, marketing plan. We agree on the approach before we go live, including the channels, the timeline, and the qualifying questions for inbound interest.

03

Execute

Listing live, qualified showings, weekly written reports, deal close. We do the work and tell you what happened — every Friday until the deal is done.

Market Research & Analysis

Data and judgment, applied to a specific decision.

Whether you’re evaluating a property you own, considering one you don’t, or weighing a redevelopment, our research turns market data into a decision you can act on — with sources cited and assumptions visible.

What’s included

  • Highest and best use analysis for development, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse projects.
  • Demographic and traffic analysis tailored to retail, office, and industrial use cases.
  • Feasibility studies covering market support, financial pro forma, and entitlement risk.
  • Site selection evaluations for tenants and investors targeting Northern Fairfield County.

Financial & Investment Services

Structure the transaction so the numbers actually work.

Investment commercial real estate is a financial product as much as a physical one. We help clients model cash flow, compare structures, and execute strategies that align with the broader portfolio — whether that’s a single building or a multi-asset hold.

  • Sale-leaseback transactions to free up capital while retaining operational continuity.

Frequently asked

Common questions, answered straight.

A few of the questions we get most often. If yours isn’t here, the fastest way to an answer is a short call — most of our engagements start with a 15-minute conversation.

What does ARC charge for brokerage services?
Standard commercial commission structures apply on completed lease and sale transactions, paid at closing. Research engagements (BOVs, feasibility studies, market analyses) outside of a listing or representation engagement are quoted as flat-fee work based on scope. We share specific pricing in the first conversation — no obligation to proceed.
Do you handle smaller leases — under 5,000 square feet?
Yes. A meaningful share of our annual transactions are sub-5,000 SF retail and office leases. We treat them with the same diligence as larger deals. Smaller properties often have more landlord-tenant friction per square foot, and that’s exactly where good representation pays for itself.
Can you handle a 1031 exchange when the replacement property is in another state?
Yes. We’re licensed in Connecticut, New York, and Florida, and we’ve sourced replacement properties in all three. For exchanges into states where we aren’t directly licensed, we coordinate with vetted broker partners and stay involved with the timeline, the qualified intermediary, and the close.
How long does a typical commercial listing take to sell or lease?
Highly dependent on asset class, condition, and pricing. Stabilized retail and office leases in our territory typically move in 90–180 days from listing live to lease executed. Investment sales tend to run 120–240 days. Land and special-purpose assets vary the most. We give a market-specific estimate during the discovery phase, before you sign a listing agreement.
Will you provide a broker opinion of value (BOV) without a listing engagement?
Yes. BOVs are quoted as flat-fee work and turned around in 7–14 business days depending on asset complexity. Common use cases: refinance support, tax-grievance documentation, estate planning, partnership buyouts, and pre-listing due diligence. The BOV is yours to use however you choose — there’s no requirement to list with us afterward.
Do you cover Ridgefield, Newtown, and the smaller towns in the territory?
Yes. Our active territory includes Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, and Ridgefield, with a steady stream of work in adjacent towns. Northern Fairfield County is the market we know best — local zoning officers, attorneys, and lenders by name.
What if I’m not sure whether to lease or buy?
That’s exactly the question a lease-vs-own analysis answers. We model both scenarios over a relevant hold period — including capital cost, occupancy cost, depreciation, and exit value — and present a comparison that makes the trade-off legible. The analysis is itself a deliverable; the recommendation that follows is yours to act on or not.
