Leasing a property involves more than simply finding a tenant. Successful leasing requires proper marketing, tenant evaluation, lease documentation, risk awareness, and informed decision-making. We provide professional leasing services for landlords throughout Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area, offering everything from MLS® rental marketing and tenant placement to lease consulting and landlord-controlled leasing options. Whether you want full-service representation or simply professional exposure for your rental property, we help landlords make smarter leasing decisions.
Two Approaches. One Goal.
Every landlord has different goals, experience, and availability when leasing a property.
Some landlords prefer to manage inquiries, showings, tenant selection, and negotiations themselves while utilizing professional marketing exposure. Others prefer professional assistance throughout the entire leasing process.
Our leasing services are designed to provide both options.
Whether you choose a landlord-controlled approach or full-service representation, the objective remains the same:
Helping landlords make informed leasing decisions while protecting the value of their investment property.

Residential and Commercial Leasing
We provide leasing representation for:
- Residential rental properties
- Multi-residential properties
- Retail properties

A commercial lease listing often requires:
- Property tour
- Floor plan review
- Zoning review
- Permitted uses discussion
- Marketing package preparation
- Brochure preparation
- Negotiations
Commercial landlords often need assistance with:
- Lease structure
- Financial terms
- CAM/TMI recovery
- Tenant inducements
- Use clauses
- Exclusivity rights
- Assignment and subletting
- Tenant covenant strength
- Guarantors
- Expansion rights
- Demolition/redevelopment clauses
- Relocation provisions
“In commercial leasing, the risk is rarely finding a tenant. The risk is signing the wrong lease.”
Landlords seeking assistance with lease review, lease preparation, negotiation support, tenant evaluation, transaction management, or strategic leasing advice should consider Full-Service Representation.
Commercial FEE
Quoted according to property, lease structure, assignment complexity and scope of representation.
Professional fees, service scope and client responsibilities are agreed before representation begins and are subject to the applicable representation agreement.
Professional Services and Client Commitment
My representation services are structured as a professional engagement rather than an arrangement in which all services become free if a client later decides not to proceed.
In most successful transactions, the agreed professional fee is paid through the transaction in the manner established in the representation agreement. However, substantial professional services and direct costs may be incurred well before a transaction closes. Depending upon the circumstances, the representation agreement may therefore provide for reimbursement of reasonable expenses if the engagement ends before completion and the Brokerage is not otherwise entitled to its commission.
The representation agreement also identifies circumstances in which a professional fee may already have been earned even though the transaction does not ultimately complete, including certain circumstances involving client default, voluntary withdrawal, default by another party or a transaction completed during an applicable holdover period.
These provisions are reviewed before representation begins so that both the client and the Brokerage understand the financial commitment before professional services are undertaken.
Understand the obligation before it becomes the commitment.
