Who We Are

The San Antonio Team Of Partners Healthcare Services

The three of us represent medical, dental and veterinary practices across San Antonio and South Texas as the San Antonio team of Partners Healthcare Services, the healthcare tenant and buyer representation practice of Partners Real Estate. Two of us are CCIM designees. The third keeps the data every negotiation starts from.

On your deal we do one thing: represent the practice. Partners is a full-service firm, and the three of us do take leasing assignments on other San Antonio buildings. If a building you are considering is ever one of ours, you will know that in writing before you tour it, and you decide how to proceed. Nobody negotiating for you is paid by your landlord.

What This Costs Your Practice

Free To Your Practice. The Landlord Pays Our Fee.

1On most listed buildings the landlord pays a leasing fee.

It is in the listing agreement before you walk in.

2Alone, the landlord's broker usually keeps all of it.

You do not save it. Their broker keeps it.

3With us, our share comes out of that fee.

For most practices, $0 and no invoice from us.

Same fee, two ways to split it. One of them puts a negotiator in your corner. The other does not.

A few situations differ, such as owner-direct, physician-owned and sublease space. We confirm the fee in writing on every building before you tour it. Brokerage fees are negotiable and not set by law.

How We Work

What You Should Expect From Us

We start from data, not from listings. Before we tell you what a space is worth, we look at what comparable space in that corridor actually trades for, and we will show you the comparables rather than asking you to take the number on faith.

We tell you when the answer is no. If renewing where you are is the right move, we will say so, even though a relocation pays us more. If a building you like has a problem we cannot fix in the lease, you will hear about it before you spend money on plans.

Partners is a full-service firm and the three of us do take leasing assignments on other San Antonio buildings. We will not represent the landlord on the other side of your negotiation, and if a building you are considering is one of our listings you will know in writing before you tour it.
