What Exis Global Tenant Representation does

Exis Global Tenant Representation is a private partnership network (legally Exis Global, LLC) of independent commercial real estate advisory firms that exclusively represent tenants and end-users of commercial space, with no representation of landlords. The organization operates through 40+ partner firm offices across 12 countries spanning North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Oceania, providing an integrated suite of services including tenant representation brokerage, project management, portfolio management, sublease and dispositions, workplace strategy, lease administration, design and build, location strategy consulting, and economic incentives negotiations.

The core business model is a federated partnership: Exis Global, LLC serves as the central coordinating entity, while revenue is generated at the partner-firm level through commission-based brokerage fees on commercial real estate transactions. Partners purchase ownership shares upon joining and pay an annual license fee, gaining access to cross-border referrals, regional and global summits, the Exis Exchange staff exchange program, sponsored technology tools (e.g., Dealius), and complementary service providers (e.g., Scribcor Global Lease Administration, NYCEDC). The organization is governed by a board of senior practitioners, with day-to-day operations led by an Executive Director based in Toronto, Ontario.

Exis Global serves enterprise occupiers across multiple industries, with named clients including Walmart, Nike, Wilmer Hale, Warburg Pincus, The New York Times Company, Aecom, CIGNA, Rockwell Collins, Wells Fargo, Charles Schwab, Uber, Dropbox, Twitter, Ricoh, Just Eat Takeaway, Sennder, Total Energies, DAZN, Kering, KPMG, Samsung, Linklaters, Thales, Renault, Mapfre, Carrefour, and Atos. The company markets itself as the global standard for conflict-free tenant representation, positioning against full-service brokerage firms such as CBRE, JLL, and Colliers that carry inherent landlord-side conflicts of interest.
