Commercial Tenant Representation Atlanta | Office, Healthcare & Industrial Spaces
We reduce your risk, handle the search, and negotiate terms that protect you from site selection through move-in
Atlanta Office, Healthcare and Industrial Tenant Representation Brokers
Cumberland & Worthy’s tenant representation services use relevant, actionable market intelligence to advise corporate tenants on the best approach to their office space needs. Your lease is likely your second largest business expense after payroll. Most tenants sign without knowing what the market will bear, what protections are standard, or where they have leverage. We change that.
Office space decisions require accurate market data, submarket comparisons, and understanding of lease economics beyond quoted rates. We provide current rate analysis, submarket intelligence, and lease structure guidance across Cobb County and North Atlanta markets. We handle site selection, negotiation, buildout coordination, and occupancy management from start to finish. Our fee is paid by the landlord as part of the transaction. You get full representation without a separate invoice.
Cumberland & Worthy represents tenants at every stage of the real estate lifecycle:
New to Market | Relocations | Lease Renewals | Expansions
How Tenant Representation works:
We learn your business first. Space requirements, growth plans, budget, timeline. Then we go to market with a complete picture of what you need.
We identify every available option, including off-market space, tour with you, compare economics side by side, and negotiate directly with landlords on your behalf. We manage paperwork from letter of intent through lease execution.
Our Tenant Representation services are paid by the landlord as part of the transaction. You get full representation without a separate invoice.
Your Corporate Real Estate Department, Without the Overhead:
Most brokers show you spaces and hand you a lease. We do more than that.
We become your real estate department. We learn your business, anticipate your needs, and manage every detail from site selection through move-in. When a question comes up mid-lease, you call us. When your renewal is 18 months out, we're already working it.
You don't need to become a real estate expert. That's what we're here for.
Case Studies - How Our Clients Have Benefited From Hiring Us
A Growing Buckhead Law Firm Needed Space…
Challenge: We were introduced to a growing law firm that needed new office space. After several years of success, they outgrew their space both in size and quality of space. Our challenge arose when we were given a micro market of Buckhead in which to find the ideal building.
Action: We pulled all property records in this micro-market and identified just 100 parcels that fit the client’s criteria. From there, we began calling and door knocking and within two months found the perfect office building for the law firm to purchase.
Result: Our client was able to purchase a beautiful office building in their desired micro market and because the deal was sourced off-market they were able to pay $95,000 less than their budgeted price.
I Want This Building and I Need a Great Deal…
Challenge: We were engaged by a consumer goods firm with a lease expiration approaching in less than two months. Not only did they need to move quickly to avoid paying holdover rent, the firm had already identified it’s desired building. Our challenge arose when we were tasked with getting them the best deal possible on the space - and quickly!
Action: Although we knew what building they would choose, we made it known we were touring several other buildings that day and would only choose the building that could move quickly and present the best economic deal terms.
Result: Our client was able to lease space in the office building they wanted, in the short time frame (thanks to our choice of a ready-made suite) and received an additional $20,000 in Tenant Improvement Allowance because the leasing agent and ownership group knew we were shopping around. We marketed our tenant to show their desirability and the building owners responded with great incentives.

Cumberland & worthy’s Tenant Representation Process
How The Process Works
1. Discovery We start by learning your business. Space requirements, headcount, growth plans, budget and timeline. The more we understand upfront, the better we search.
2. Market Survey We identify every available option across Cobb County and North Atlanta, including off-market space. You get a shortlist of properties that actually fit your criteria, not everything on CoStar.
3. Property Tours We tour with you and evaluate each space against your operational needs. Layout, buildout condition, loading, parking, infrastructure. We ask the questions you don't know to ask.
4. Negotiation We submit proposals, create competition among landlords, and negotiate rent, tenant improvement allowances, renewal options and lease protections. This is where preparation pays off.
5. Lease Review We review the final lease against negotiated terms and flag anything that doesn't protect you. We recommend you involve your attorney. We coordinate the rest.
6. Move-In and Beyond We stay involved through buildout and occupancy. When your next lease event comes around, you already know who to call.
Frequently Asked Questions: Tenant Representation in Metro Atlanta
What is a typical office lease term in Atlanta? Most office leases in Atlanta run 3 to 10 years, though shorter and longer terms exist depending on space size, buildout requirements and business stability. We help you think through the right term for your situation before you commit.
Will you show me every available property in my search area? Yes. We search on-market listings through CoStar and Crexi, identify off-market opportunities through our broker network, and reach out directly to landlords when needed. You see everything that fits your criteria.
How does Cumberland & Worthy get paid? Our fee is paid by the landlord as part of the transaction. You receive full representation without a separate invoice. We sign an agreement at engagement confirming we will not bill your firm for services.
What makes Cumberland & Worthy different? We covered this above. But the short answer: you work directly with a senior CCIM broker who knows this market, handles every detail, and stays accountable from first conversation through move-in.
What financial documentation will I need? Landlords typically require 2 to 3 years of business tax returns, recent bank statements, a credit check and articles of incorporation. Newer businesses may need a business plan or personal financial statement. We tell you exactly what to prepare before you start touring.
When should I start looking? At least 9 to 12 months before your target move-in date. For larger spaces or significant buildouts, 12 to 18 months. Starting early gives you leverage. Starting late forces rushed decisions and weak negotiating positions.
What property types do you specialize in? Office, medical office and industrial and warehouse space throughout Metro Atlanta. Each has different requirements and we know them well.
