• Bring focus and accountability to our service commitment
• Establish a measurable corporate wide supplier diversity procurement process

Supplier Diversity Sourcing Policies

Our national office tenant clients have found that their Corporate Sourcing Department is a critical aspect of their Supplier Diversity success.

Supplier selection is based on the supplier's ability to provide goods or services in accordance with requirements which can include:

• Quality products and services
• Competitive pricing
• Technical foresight
• Proactive product service support
• Effective follow-through

Supplier Qualifications

To expand or deepen their diverse supplier base, our national office tenant clients require that a company be at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by U.S. citizens who are:

• African American

• Asian-Indian
• Asian-Pacific

• Follow-up with us regarding current and upcoming opportunities

What TENANTreps.net Gives National Office Tenants

After being selected as a potential national office tenant representation provider, our national office tenant clients usually start by testing the quality of our services with just one and then a few national office tenant representation assignments.  On each assignment, TENANTreps.net will provide better quality office tenant representation services than that currently provided by any non-WBE provider plus the following: 

1.   1.  John Tobin will personally travel to the local office market at our own expense on each assignment,     (new deals, renewals and expansions).

 2.  John Tobin will personally preview all alternative properties in the desired geographic area.

 3.  Working with local client personnel, John Tobin will personally create a short list of properties that meet the client's corporate criteria.

 4.  John Tobin will personally conduct the tour with local client personnel.

We have found from experience that the single point of contact, hands-on approach described above makes a huge difference in favor of the national office tenant client.   These important steps in the office leasing process will not be delegated to a local broker less invested in the national office tenant’s success and less familiar with its critical operational directives. Based on our female diversity of ownership, our unique approach and ability to respond quickly, we hope your firm has an interest in testing whether the services provided by TENANTreps.net are equal to or better than any current non-WBE provider.

 Please see the “Report Cards” tab above where we have been rated as “excellent” in all categories serving the Corporate Real Estate Manager of a Top 30 Mortgage company with over 160 offices as their national tenant rep over a 4 year period through 9/2007.  Also, on the rest of this website, you can review our unique national qualifications and the substantial results we have generated working with national office tenants.
