Scott Berriman on Why He Left Corporate Life to Start TenantX

Give It A Nudge

In this episode of Give It A Nudge, Steve sits down with Scott Berriman, founder of TenantX, a unique commercial property consultancy that’s all about representing tenants. Scott, who’s flying solo as a founder, dives into his transition from a long career in corporate real estate to building his own brand and business.
Scott shares his journey from the early days working in retail leasing, through the highs and lows of corporate life, and what finally pushed him to go independent. He talks about how TenantX saves companies time and money by navigating lease negotiations, and he explains why having a dedicated tenant representative is crucial, even if many businesses don’t realise it. They also discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on the real estate market and how it led to many people reevaluating their careers.
