ESG Realty Advisors offers no-cost commercial tenant representation services to business owners like you. Most business owners facilitate one commercial lease transaction every three to five years - and usually wait until the last month of their office lease to start the renewal process.
You negotiate against Landlords, Property Management professionals and Commercial Leasing firms who have multiple years of experience working leases day-in and day-out but do not represent your interests.Unless you have checked the market for comparable available office, retail or flex space several months before your renewal, inevitably, you become a "captive tenant" and are at the Landlord's mercy at renewal.

Every time my business partner and I start looking for a new space, at some point during the process we turn to each other and say, "We could make $1M in this industry because we would RETURN EFFING PHONE CALLS!" Seriously, it's pretty stunning the lack of follow through when you're interested in leasing a space-at least if you're looking for under 10,000 sq feet.
ESG Realty Advisors works with a range of business owners. Whether you are looking for your very first space or are an established retailer opening multiple locations or have an office renewal, expansion or relocation, no assignment is too small or too large.
ESG Realty Advisors uses CoStar to quickly research available space in a given area based on specific search criteria - saving you the time and inconvenience of driving around, leaving messages and waiting for a phone call that may never come.ESG Realty Advisors speaks "their" language because we are licensed brokers and agents working specifically on commercial leasing and purchase transactions.

Be very careful. Rodney is condescending and does not listen to your needs. Every industry is different and he think's he know best for your business. The biggest issue is after our departure and we fired him he held us in a ridiculous contract that won't let us sign on any properly that he sent us for 6 months. Let me explain...if he sends you a property...from a search you can do yourself on Loopnet.com he will get paid for it. He didn't fight for us. Didn't negotiate anything and even let a space to to another company when we were in compliance of sighing a letter of intent

My lease came due again, and the property management company had changed. And to be kind, the new folks were awful! It was time to move on, and Rodney found a new location less than 1/4 mile from my existing spot, and the rent was much lower as well. I did virtually no work and I spent zero dollars, but I'm in a new spot with a good lease. Thank you again to Rodney and ESG Realty Advisors.

What do you do when something occurs that might affect the value or use of your investment property? We searched for a real estate advisor on Yelp and located Rodney. He immediately advised that the situation merited contacting a real estate attorney. However, Rodney tried to supply as much context as possible. It is rare to find someone who truly cares about your outcome - even when not receiving any compensation. This is the type of exchange that we will remember - ex. when we need tenants or decide to sell.

Updated Dec 22, 2016. I had a couple issues with my landlord. The short version, the original owner sold to a new group. They do things a little different and it created some confusion with management fees. Some of it was over my head. I copied Rodney on an email. He was incredibly responsive by jumping in, getting clarity and helping resolve the situation. He even attended a meeting at my office with the new group to hammer everything out.
You really can't go wrong with Rodney. He's not only really good at his job, but it's really obvious he cares about his clients and

Rodney is hands down the best commercial real estate broker I have ever dealt with. He was referred to me by a close friend who had nothing but great things to say. My experience was stellar and Rodney spent time explaining everything as well as helping us find the perfect space. I HIGHLY recommend Rodney to anyone looking for commercial space.

I first had Rodney look for my first retail location back in 2013. Since it was my first time I didn't know how or what to do. Rodney walked me through step by step and now I am expanding my business to other retail locations. Really stand up guy who will always bend over backwards and make sure you get the best deal possible. There are other commercial real estate agents out there, but they will never have my business other than Rodney.

Rodney did an amazing job helping me find a retail space. His experience and knowledge of commercial leasing was super helpful. He is gifted in lease negotiation and interpretation. I won't hesitate to call him when my lease expires because I know he will provide such insight into that process.
I highly recommend him- he's professional and friendly, and provides a great service!

Rodney is the BEST tenant-rep commercial realtor ever! I have used Rodney on a few occasions, and each time he has gone well above and beyond the call of duty and has always achieved excellent results and great cost savings. After my first 3 year lease for my current location was up (a lease he had negotiated well three years prior), I called Rodney to negotiate a new one or potentially look at other options. I was open to moving, but would prefer to stay if the landlord could make it worth my while. Landlords do not often make concessions on lease renewals, and when they do it might be a month

We just signed the lease on our first commercial space and it wouldn't have been possible without the patience and guidance of Rodney Schwalbach. From helping us find the right venue for our business to walking us through the lease agreement, he was always ready to answer our questions and worked tirelessly to get us the best deal possible. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

After many years at Fortune 500 companies I decided to start my own business and Rodney was with me every step of the way locating an ideal site and helping us through some challenging negotiations. The deal likely would have fallen apart if it weren't for Rodney.
He is highly professional, honest, hardworking and is on top of his communication. You will never have to wait long for an update or response to a text or call. I highly recommend him.

Rodney is the man! I can not say enough about how good he is at what he does. He has been instrumental in the process of helping me through my commercial lease agreement. I will, without a doubt, use Rodney again and refer him to everyone I know looking to rent commercial space! On the behalf of Absolute Life Wellness Center, I want to say thanks Rodney!!

I'm very grateful the work Rodney provided for me. He gave me pointers to consider in negotiating my lease and provided fantastic results. The thing that struck me most about Rodney was his simple care and desire to truly help. Regardless of scope, I can tell Rodney is interested in providing quality, professional assistance and will easily deliver on results.

Since I was renting commercial space for the first time, I had no idea that I could negotiate the terms of the lease. Rodney Schwalbach helped me find the best possible space for my business at the best possible rate. It would have been a much more complicated and frustrating experience if I had not had Rodney to help me. He is professional, smart, efficient, and friendly, and I am grateful to have had him there with me through the process of leasing a commercial space.

I was referred to Rodney Schwalbach of ESG Realty Advisors by someone I go to church with. I had outgrown my existing commercial space where I run a full service supply and installation flooring company. Rodney was extremely helpful and educational in helping me to figure out what it was I needed, as well as finding a space that met those needs. I feel that Rodney was extremely valuable in negotiating our lease and build-out requirements with the landlord of the commercial space and got us, what I feel is a great deal. I felt that he truly had my best interests in mind and "went to bat"
