Leasing done strategically, not transactionally.
Tenant representation, landlord representation, and net-lease investment, built around your side of the deal. Matt represents one side of the table at a time, so you always have someone whose only job is your outcome.
Whose interests is your broker actually working for?
A commercial lease shapes your cash flow, flexibility, and operations for years. The terms are negotiated by professionals, and the side without representation is the side that pays for it.
Matt represents one side of any given deal, never both. A tenant looking for space, an owner filling it, or an investor buying net-leased property. Every assignment starts with the economics, rent, escalations, TI allowances, options, and operating costs, not the surface-level asking rate.
Your landlord has a broker. You should too.
When you sign a commercial lease, your landlord is represented by an experienced broker whose job is to maximize their rent and lock you into the structure that favors ownership. Tenant representation levels the field, and it usually costs you nothing because the landlord pays the fee. The costliest mistake is focusing only on base rent, since operating expenses, CAM, TI allowances, free rent, and renewal options can be worth far more than a small rent reduction.
- Base rent and escalations, where 4% versus 3% a year compounds fast on a five-year lease
- Tenant improvement allowance to fund your buildout
- Free rent periods at the start of the term
- CAM charges, expense caps, and audit rights
- Renewal and expansion options that protect you years out
- Assignment and sublease rights if your plans change
Filling space fast is not the same as filling it right
Vacancy costs money every day, but the goal is the right tenant in the right lease structure, the combination that protects both your income and your asset value over the full term.
The wrong tenant is expensive
A poorly qualified tenant who defaults, damages the property, or requires eviction costs far more than careful marketing ever would. Matt works exclusively for owners.
Positioning and exposure
Market rent analysis and competitive positioning, then marketing across Crexi, LoopNet, and direct tenant outreach to reach the right prospects.
Tenant qualification
Screening and credit review so the tenant you sign can actually carry the lease. The typical timeline runs 60 to 120 days from listing to signed lease.
Terms that protect value
Base rent at market, sound NNN and CAM structures, security deposits and guarantees, and use and assignment control. Stabilized occupancy with quality tenants raises property value and eases financing.
The closest thing to truly passive
A triple net lease has the tenant pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance on top of base rent. The single variable that separates a good NNN deal from a poor one is tenant credit quality. National credit tenants span quick-service restaurants, dollar and discount stores, pharmacies and medical, convenience and auto, and essential services like fitness and childcare. Sacramento NNN cap rates currently run roughly 5.5 to 7%.
Genuinely passive income
The tenant pays the three nets, property taxes, building insurance, and maintenance, on top of base rent. You collect net rent with minimal management.
Long-term, escalating stability
Lease terms typically run 10 to 25 years with renewal options, often with built-in escalations of 1 to 2% or tied to CPI. Predictable, contractual income.
Built for a 1031
An ideal replacement target. Passive income replaces active management, the wide national inventory makes it simpler to close within 180 days, and predictable value supports financing.
What the yield tells you
Cap rate ranges are an early-2026 market reference, not investment advice. The number is a quick read on how the market prices the security of the income behind it.
5 to 5.75% | Investment-grade national credit
Corporate-guaranteed tenants with 15-plus years of term remaining. The lowest cap rates, because the income is the most secure.
5.75 to 6.5% | Strong regional or shorter term
Solid tenants or a slightly shorter remaining term. A modest step up in yield for a modest step up in risk.
6.5 to 7.5% | Shorter lease or local operators
Local or franchise operators, or leases with fewer years left. Higher yield reflects the added rollover risk.
7.5% and up | Higher risk or value-add
Shorter terms, weaker credit, or a value-add angle. The highest yields, for investors who understand exactly what they are taking on.
Your leasing advisor
Guided by Matt Bingaman
Matt handles all three sides of leasing: tenant representation across retail, office, industrial, and medical, landlord representation for owners filling and protecting their space, and net-lease investment for buyers seeking passive income. The same advisor, whichever side of the table you are on.
Every assignment is built around your economics, with a curated survey of the market rather than a data dump, and access to the eXp Commercial national network.
Multifamily and passive income should never be in the same sentence. The closest thing to truly passive is an absolute net lease with a long-term tenant.
