In most commercial lease transactions, the tenant representative's fee is paid by the landlord as part of the deal structure — meaning you receive full professional advisory at no direct cost to you. We're transparent about compensation on every transaction from day one, and we'll tell you upfront if a deal structure deviates from this norm.

It depends heavily on property type, size, and market conditions — but with active representation, most retail and office spaces in Savannah's core submarkets are under LOI within 60–120 days. Healthcare and large-format industrial can take longer due to operator due diligence requirements. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the strategy session based on your specific asset.

Without representation, you're negotiating against a prepared counterparty without the same market intelligence. RIVR can step in at any stage of a transaction — we've restructured deals that were heading in the wrong direction many times.

Our leasing team covers retail (street front, in-line, and anchor), office (single-tenant and multi-tenant), industrial, healthcare, hospitality, and mixed-use properties. We also have specialized practices in parking structures and multifamily. If you're unsure whether your property type fits our scope, just reach out — the initial conversation is always free.

Absolutely — and renewals are often where we deliver the most value. Most landlords and tenants renew on autopilot, accepting modest increases without testing the market. We re-underwrite renewal scenarios, benchmark against current comps, and negotiate renewals that reflect what a new tenant or new space would actually cost today. The delta between an advised renewal and an unadvised one can be substantial over a 5- or 10-year term.
