Exis Global Tenant Representation
Exis is a global commercial real estate organization committed exclusively to representing tenants and end users. Founded by 16 of the world’s most respected, independent brokerage firms, we do one thing every day: Save tenants money on their real estate. While other brokerage networks cobble together scores of small firms and individual brokers in an effort to quickly create a regional or global presence, at Exis we have chosen a decidedly different path. Our firms are all trusted leaders in their geographic areas, possessing strong track records and a deep understanding of their local markets. More importantly, we work to deliver strategic consulting and pragmatic solutions to clients, whether they’re looking to expand around the block or around the world.
