Typically, we perform an inspection on each property once a month. However, many out of state owners engage us to perform inspections as often as every week. When we inspect a building we take dozens of pictures and make comments about any defects we find. All of the pictures and comments are accessible through the owners portal at www.TenantScience.com in real time.

A competent real estate broker can be of great assistance to a prospective tenant in helping the client to understand and recognize all of the factors that should be considered when making a leasing decision. A broker will also likely have knowledge of past transactions and future trends that can help in making a leasing decision. The broker will provide advice on site selection, rental rates, build out issues and a myriad of other issues facing a prospective tenant.

If you're considering renting space or buying property, then using a broker will likely cost you nothing. Brokerage commissions are typically paid by the property owner who lists the property for sale or lease. The listing broker typically splits the sales commission with any other cooperating broker who brings a buyer or tenant for the property. Thus, as long as a tenant leases or buys a property that is listed for sale or lease by a broker, then the commission will actually be paid by the property owner rather than the tenant or the buyer. In the event a tenant or buyer wants to buy or lease property that is not listed, then the buyer or tenant may be required to pay the broker's commission. However, with an unlisted property, that fee will generally be only half of the regular commission or about 3% of the sales price or total base rental to be paid during the initial term of the lease.

When a property is listed for sale, the typical commission for most transactions is six percent of the total sales price. Due to the greater complexities involved in the sale of a business opportunity, the commission rate on those transactions will generally be higher depending on the nature and size of the business. On very large listings, that rate may be subject to negotiation.

At Tenant Science we use an unmatched Tenant Generation System that is proprietary and has been developed over 20 years. This coupled with the fact that we are responsible for the leasing of over 50 multi-tenant buildings in Metro Atlanta allows us to find multiple applicants for your property.

Through years of daily updates with owners of commercial property who are our clients, we have created an ecosystem of Atlanta commercial real estate investors. Many times, when one of our properties goes up for sale, we are able to sell it to another one of our clients without the necessity of advertising. Our clients love to buy properties we manage because the sale can be made so seamlessly that the tenants don't even have to know it happened.

A 1031 exchange is a method of trading properties that, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, is done without the current payment of tax on the capital gain. Rather, the owner's tax basis in the property is transferred to the replacement property received in the exchange. When a property is exchanged in accordance with the rules promulgated by the IRS, the tax on the gain is not eliminated, but is deferred until the replacement property is subsequently sold or transferred. By continuing to elect Section 1031 treatment on subsequent real property exchanges, a property owner can defer taxes indefinitely. Another section of the tax code allows heirs of a deceased property owner to inherit the property at a stepped up date of death fair market value tax basis, thus eliminating the capital gains tax entirely and leading to the strategy of swap 'til you drop transactions. Under the IRS rules, once a taxpayer sells a property, he or she is allowed a specified time period to identify the replacement property and then to close on its acquisition. At no time during this process, however, can the taxpayer have access to the sale proceeds from the first transaction. Thus, those funds need to be held by the title company or other qualified intermediary until used to acquire the replacement property. There are many technical requirements for this type of exchange, and we can help connect with the right people to prepare the necessary paperwork and guide you through the process.

Yes. We have a very complex qualification system that applicants must be processed through. We do a 3-part background investigation on each tenant, this includes credit, criminal and real estate foreclosure/eviction reports. We also physically check out their other or last location, and we speak with the former landlord. We can help get some of the best tenants.

We have quality, licensed vendors that we use regularly. We keep up with all the required codes affecting commercial rental property. We have qualified property managers in Decatur who are familiar with any commercial property or tenant situation that may arise. We also provide complete monthly accounting and owners can see notes on all the conversations had with their tenants. Tenants feel like they can take advantage of the building owner, just hand it over to us and we will collect all the late rent. We take the calls in the middle of the night and handle emergencies and If an eviction proceeding is required, we know how to do it effectively.

We manage Office Buildings, Retail Centers, and Multi-Tenant Industrial buildings. We manage single tenant commercial buildings in metro Atlanta too.

Many of our institutional clients or out of state clients would rather collect the rents and pay the payables themselves. They hire us to physically inspect their property as often as once a week so that the owners can be aware of any defect and correct it before their tenants complain. When we inspect the property, we take dozens of pictures and make notes on any defects, including but not limited to: fire extinguisher, fire control or elevator inspections, light bulbs out, leaks, gutters overflowing, doors not working, marquis sign with wrong info, directory signage, broken windows, dumpster overflowing, potholes in parking lot, and many more. This information is uploaded onsite and available to your through the owners portal on our website www.TenantScience.com
