At JR Mercantile Real Estate Advisors, we’ve built our reputation on a balanced approach — representing both landlords and tenants with the same dedication, insight, and integrity. While many brokerages focus exclusively on one side of the table, our dual experience gives us a unique perspective that directly benefits our landlord clients.
Seeing Leasing Through Both Lenses
Our work with tenants gives us a firsthand understanding of what modern businesses are truly looking for — from layout and visibility to operational efficiencies and customer access. We know what drives a tenant’s decision-making process, the challenges they face in securing a location, and the deal structures that allow them to thrive.
This insight allows us to position our landlords’ properties strategically and competitively, ensuring that listings not only attract strong interest, but also appeal to the right type of tenant.
Market Intelligence That Creates Value
Because we regularly work with both sides of the market, our team has a constant pulse on:
- Emerging tenant trends and concept categories gaining traction in Calgary and beyond.
- Current rental rates and incentive structures, ensuring our landlords remain competitive without overextending.
- Common deal pain points that can be mitigated early through proactive communication and creative lease terms.
Our landlord clients benefit from this insider perspective, gaining access to the same depth of market intelligence that we use to secure spaces for our tenant clients — only now, it’s applied to help them fill their properties faster and smarter.
Better Negotiation, Stronger Relationships
Having negotiated countless deals on behalf of tenants, we understand how to structure win-win transactions that support long-term stability. We anticipate tenant concerns before they become obstacles and communicate value in ways that resonate with both sides. The result? Better deals, stronger retention, and fewer surprises.
A Collaborative Approach to Long-Term Success
At JR Mercantile, our experience across both landlord and tenant representation isn’t just a service offering — it’s an advantage. It allows us to act as true advisors, aligning the interests of both parties and fostering relationships built on mutual success.
Whether we’re securing space for a local entrepreneur or sourcing tenants for a new mixed-use development, our perspective remains the same: real estate works best when everyone wins.
