Working with Comtech Realty LLC as the Leasing Brokerage

When Comtech Realty LLC lists property for lease without property management then all agents in the

brokerage represent the Owner. Likewise when a Tenant is represented by a Comtech Realty LLC agent all

of the agents represent that Tenant.

In the event that both the Tenant and the Owner are represented by Comtech Realty LLC agents these

agents and Comtech Realty LLC will act as a dual agent, but only if both parties agree. As dual agents they

will treat both parties honestly. Prepare and present offers at the direction of the parties, and help the

parties fulfill the terms of any contract. They will not, however disclose any confidential information that

will place one party at an advantage over the other or advocate or negotiate to the detriment of either party.

If dual agency occurs you will be asked to consent to that in writing. If you do not agree to your agent

acting as a dual agent, you can seek representation from another brokerage.

As a tenant you may choose to represent yourself on properties Comtech Realty LLC has listed. In that

instance, Comtech Realty LLC will represent the Owner and you would represent your own best interests.

Because the listing agent has a duty of full disclosure to the Owner, you should not share any information

with the listing agent that you would not want the Owner to know.

Working with other Brokerages

Comtech Realty does offer representation to both Landlords and Tenants. When Comtech Realty LLC lists

property for lease, it also cooperates with, and offers compensation to other brokerages that represent

Tenants. Comtech Realty LLC does reserve the right, in some instances, to vary the compensation if offers

to other brokerages. As a Landlord, you should understand that just because Comtech Realty LLC shares a

fee with a brokerage representing the Tenant, it does not mean that you will be represented by that Tenant’s

brokerage. Instead that company will be looking out for the Tenant and Comtech Realty LLC will be

representing your interests.

When acting as a Tenant’s agent for a property listed with another company, Comtech Realty LLC also

accepts compensation offered by the listing broker. If the property is not listed with any broker, or the

listing broker does not offer compensation, we will attempt to negotiate for a Tenant paid fee.
