Keyser Launches Keyser Lease IQ to Score Tenant Lease Positions

Keyser launched Keyser Lease IQ, a proprietary assessment that scores how well a commercial lease supports a tenant's financial, operational and strategic objectives, the company said on October 21, 2026. The Phoenix-based advisory firm PR Newswire announced the launch.

How the Keyser Lease IQ Score Works

Keyser Commercial Real Estate, which represents tenants and occupiers and not landlords or developers, said the Keyser Lease IQ Framework is a proprietary methodology for evaluating how well a lease supports a business's objectives. The assessment produces a Keyser Lease IQ Score across three dimensions: financial awareness, covering rental economics, market positioning, operating expenses and occupancy costs; operational flexibility, covering how the current space and lease structure adapt as an organization evolves; and renewal readiness, covering preparation, timing, market knowledge and negotiating position ahead of the next lease decision.

Business leaders can complete the complimentary Keyser Lease IQ Assessment at keyser.com/lease-iq, the company said. Keyser said commercial leases can represent millions, or hundreds of millions, of dollars in long-term commitments, and that many organizations enter negotiations without the market intelligence, transaction experience and visibility available to the landlords they negotiate against.

Jonathan Keyser, Founder and Managing Partner of Keyser, said, "Executives expect transparency, data, and alignment from virtually every other strategic advisor they hire. There is no reason they should expect less from commercial real estate." He added, "Tenants don't need more information for information's sake. They need the right intelligence early enough to do something with it." Keyser also said, "Once a company is approaching a deadline, has committed to a particular building or has narrowed its alternatives, leverage can disappear quickly."

Keyser's Tenant-Only Model and Exis Global Reach

According to akta.pro company records, Keyser was founded in 2013 as a 100% tenant-only commercial real estate brokerage in Scottsdale, Arizona, and joined Exis Global the same year as a founding member. The records list Exis Global as a network of 16 independent tenant-only brokerage firms with 1,000+ partner employees across 44 member office locations worldwide, and put combined Keyser headcount plus Exis Global partner firm employees serving Keyser clients at 570+ professionals worldwide.

Keyser's Earlier 2026 Recognition

In June 2026, Keyser Commercial Real Estate was named to Inc.'s Best Workplaces 2026 list, according to PR Newswire. In September 2026, the firm was named a 2026 Arizona Top Workplace and earned nine additional Culture Excellence and Industry Awards from AZ Central and Top Workplaces, PR Newswire reported. In October 2026, PR Newswire reported that Keyser highlighted Partner Olivia Barajas' leadership profile, noting her ManageMarketing.com Top 10 Marketing Director recognition and tracing her eight-year tenure and contributions to brand, communications and digital visibility.
