Commercial Leasing Services That Fill Your Vacant Space

Expert tenant attraction, screening, and lease negotiation for office buildings, shopping centers, and commercial properties across Middle Tennessee

At Frontier Realty Management, we specialize in filling vacancies quickly with quality tenants who stay long-term—maximizing your rental income while minimizing turnover costs as well as up-front costs.

  • Since 2002, we’ve successfully leased many commercial spaces across Tennessee.
  • Our proven marketing strategies, extensive local network, and exclusive focus on representing property owners means we work solely for your best interests—not the tenant’s.

Our Proven Process for Attracting Quality Tenants

We don’t just list your space and wait. Our comprehensive marketing approach actively seeks out the right tenants for your property using multiple channels simultaneously:

Maximum Exposure on Commercial Real Estate Platforms

We list your space on all three major commercial real estate platforms:

  • CoStar: Used by over 230,000 real estate professionals nationwide
  • LoopNet: Searchable by both brokers and business owners directly
  • Crexi: Modern platform with advanced search capabilities

Your property gets professional photos, detailed specifications, and prominent placement to attract qualified prospects.

Reach Business Owners Actively Searching for Space

We’ve seen incredible results marketing commercial space through Google Ads. This allows us to reach business owners directly when they’re actively searching for space in your area.

Our Google Ads strategy includes:

  • Targeted keywords specific to your property type and location
  • Search results analysis to understand what businesses need space
  • Display video ads on YouTube and other networks
  • Measurable results we can track and optimize continuously

We create custom marketing videos showcasing your space and its location advantages that serve as the foundation for our digital campaigns.

Strategic Tenant Targeting

We don’t wait for tenants to find you—we find them.

Our void analysis process:

  • Identify successful businesses in similar markets that aren’t yet in your area
  • Research which types of businesses would thrive in your location
  • Directly contact targeted prospects and market your space to them
  • Leverage our extensive network of local business owners and brokers

This proactive approach fills vacancies faster than passive listing alone.

Multi-Channel Visibility

We promote your space across multiple channels:

  • Custom property flyer and pictures with floor plans, photos, and virtual tours
  • On-site signage to capture drive-by traffic
  • Local business network outreach
  • Drone video showcasing location advantages

Your property gets consistent exposure to both local prospects and those relocating to Middle Tennessee.

We Only Bring You Qualified Tenants

After 23+ years managing commercial properties, we know how to identify tenants who will succeed in your space and pay rent reliably.

Our comprehensive screening process:

Financial Vetting

  • Request complete financial statements and banking information
  • Verify business credit and payment history
  • Assess the business model's viability for your specific location
  • Check references from other landlords and business partners

Business Assessment

  • Evaluate whether the business model is sustainable
  • Assess the owner's experience and track record
  • Determine if the business is a good fit for your property
  • Verify the tenant's ability to fulfill lease obligations

Compatibility Review

  • Ensure the business complements other tenants (if applicable)
  • Verify the use is appropriate for your property type
  • Assess long-term stability potential

We protect your interests by thoroughly vetting every prospect before presenting them to you.

Lease Agreements That Protect Your Investment

We exclusively represent property owners—never tenants. This means we negotiate every lease term with your best interests as the sole priority.

Expert Lease Preparation

Over the past 23 years, we’ve been directly involved in preparing hundreds of commercial leases. We know which provisions protect you, which terms maximize your returns, and how to minimize your financial risks.

Our lease agreements include:

  • Clear terms that protect your property rights
  • Provisions that minimize owner liability
  • Rent escalation clauses to keep pace with market rates
  • Maintenance responsibility clearly defined
  • Termination clauses that protect your interests
  • CAM (Common Area Maintenance) charges properly structured
  • Insurance and liability requirements

Letters of Intent

We handle all initial negotiations through Letters of Intent, establishing:

  • Proposed rental rates and terms
  • Tenant improvement allowances (if any)
  • Lease duration and renewal options
  • Use restrictions and operating requirements

This allows us to negotiate favorable terms before investing time in full lease preparation.

Negotiation Expertise

Our team negotiates on your behalf to secure:

  • Highest possible rental rates for your market
  • Favorable lease terms that minimize owner obligations
  • Strong tenant commitments that reduce turnover risk
  • Protection against tenant default

We know the local market and what terms are achievable—we won’t leave money on the table.

Keeping Good Tenants & Maximizing Renewal Value

Lease expiration doesn’t mean the relationship ends—it’s an opportunity to increase your rental income while retaining quality tenants.

Our renewal process:

Early Engagement

We begin renewal discussions 2-3 months before lease expiration, giving us time to:

  • Assess whether the tenant should be retained
  • Research current market rental rates
  • Prepare alternative prospects if needed
  • Negotiate from a position of strength

Strategic Assessment

For each expiring lease, we evaluate:

  • Is this tenant a good long-term fit?
  • What rental rate increase does the market support?
  • Are there alternative tenants who would pay more?
  • What improvements or changes would benefit the property?

Proactive Renewal Negotiation

  • Leverage market knowledge to justify rate increases
  • Present renewal terms that reflect current market conditions
  • Balance tenant retention with maximizing rental income
  • Minimize vacancy risk while optimizing returns

Our experience with local tenants and market conditions helps us navigate renewals to your maximum advantage.
