APE Realty exclusively represents tenants.  We represent the tenant’s best interest, advise them along every step of the process, negotiate favorable terms, facilitate the transaction on their behalf and get paid by the listing broker from his commission.  This allows us to act as the franchisee’s advocate without the conflicts of interest associated with commercial real estate firms that list and manage properties and therefore bound to landlords.  

We are specialists in guiding the new franchisee through the real estate process to ultimately find the location and negotiating leases that will ensure their long-term success.
