For Private Tenants

You Should Not Have
to Search in Public.

A represented search reaches the homes that are listed, the ones circulating quietly between brokers, and the owners who have not decided to list at all.

What You Get

Someone On Your Side.

A listing agent works for the owner. That is their job and they do it properly. It does mean that in an unrepresented lease, every person in the transaction is paid by the other party.

Representation puts a licensed broker on your side of the table: sourcing homes that match what you actually need, telling you honestly when a property is overpriced against comparable leases, and negotiating the terms that matter after the rent is agreed.

On a listed property this usually costs you nothing, because the leasing commission is paid by the owner and shared. Where a home is unlisted, we agree the arrangement with you in writing beforehand.

The Search

How It Runs.

1. The Brief

A conversation about the home, the privacy it needs, who lives and works in it, and the timing. Not a filter list.

2. Three Sources

Listed inventory, quiet broker-to-broker availability, and direct approaches to owners of suitable homes that are not on the market.

3. A Short List

A handful of genuinely appropriate homes with honest notes on each, including what is wrong with them.

4. Private Access

Showings by appointment, arranged through the broker, at times that suit you. Your name is disclosed only when you choose.

5. Negotiation

Rent, term, renewal and exit rights, furnishings, pets, staff and guest use, maintenance responsibility, and liability.

6. Move-In

Documented condition report, utilities and service transfers, vendor introductions, and a point of contact who stays reachable.

Questions

Represented Searches.

How does a private search actually work?
We start with a conversation about the home rather than a filter list — where you want to be, what the property has to accommodate, how much privacy the setting requires, and when you need to be in it. We then work three sources at once: what is listed, what is quietly available between brokers, and owners of suitable homes who have not listed at all. You see a short, considered list rather than fifty links.
Do you approach owners who are not listed?
Yes, where it is appropriate. If the right home for you is not on the market, there is often an owner who would consider a strong tenant at the right number. That outreach is done discreetly and without naming you unless and until you want to be named.
What about security and privacy requirements?
Common at this level and planned for from the start — gated and guarded streets, staff and security accommodation, separate entrances, parking for a detail, and controlled showing access. Tell us the requirements early and they shape the search rather than eliminating homes late.
Can you handle furnished and short-term?
Yes. Furnished executive and seasonal leases of three to twelve months are a normal part of this market, particularly for relocations and clients waiting on a build. Furnished inventory is smaller and moves faster, so timing matters more.
Will you negotiate the lease terms?
That is the point of representation. Rent is only one term — the ones that matter often are the length, renewal and early-termination rights, furnishings and inventory, pets, pool and landscape responsibility, guest and staff use, and who holds liability for what. We negotiate those with the owner's side and explain the tradeoffs plainly.
Do you work with family offices and business managers?
Regularly, and it is often the cleanest way to run a search. We can deal entirely with your advisor, keep the client unnamed through the process, and structure the tenancy through an entity or trust where required.
