Online searches yield only partial space inventory, as most office listings aren't posted online. Online listings are heavily marketed and either reflect spaces that are rented but not yet removed, or awkward spaces with significant issues that no one else wants to rent. Finding ideal office space at the best price online is likely impossible.
A tenant broker puts your best interests first. They exclusively represent you and can provide a customized report of all available spaces that fit your needs and will stay with you throughout the process.
Managing agents or landlord brokers focus solely on securing the highest rent for the building owner.
Dual-agency brokers, whose primary duty remains with the landlord.
