To Whom It May Concern:

Stephen worked tirelessly to secure a space for my restaurant. I was very pleased by how Stephen fulfilled his responsibilities as real estate broker in the city of New York. During the course of our search, Stephen proved himself dedicated to my best interest in locating and securing a space best suited to meet my needs for successful retail/restaurant operation. He demonstrated a clear focus to learning and understanding my real estate needs.

I was quite impressed by Stephen's ability to immerse himself in follow-up of the tasks at hand. His research was always thorough and comprehensive, and his persistence was relentless.

I certainly believe he has what it takes to complete any successful real estate procurement I will have in the city of New York. I strongly recommend Stephen for any firm searching for excellent real estate brokerage.

Sincerely,

Troy Davidson
Bennigan's Franchisee

On behalf of my staff, my customers and myself, I want to thank you for your representation, assistance and support in connection with our search for new retail space. We have worked with many brokers over the last several months, but you listened and tried to understand what our requirements, limitations and needs were. As a result of your diligence and persistence, we have been able to sign a lease for a space that meets our complicated physical, and economic criteria and got us a great deal under difficult conditions. You have done a great job before, during and even after the contract signing on our behalf, and we are truly appreciative.

Please feel free to share this letter with any of your potential clients or offer my contact information for we can recommend your services without reservation to others. Once again, thank you for everything.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Hirsch

We are an international High end men's and women's apparel store.

When we were looking for our New York flagship store , Optimal Spaces delivered and got us a great deal on a corner Madison Avenue location.

Stephen Sunderland found also found a great Wall Street location for us on Broad Street at a great price.

Most recently he helped us find a great location in Washington DC.

🤝 Tenant Representation: Optimal Spaces acts exclusively as a "Tenant Broker," only representing tenants, never landlords. ⚖️ Unbiased Service: Avoiding conflicts of interest, they provide impartial service, showing a wider range of properties and negotiating the best price. 🗂️ Comprehensive Process: Agents guide clients end-to-end, offering market surveys, floor plans, pricing expectations, and industry contacts. 🐷 Cost Savings: They negotiate rental price and identify/abate "hidden costs."
Why Optimal Spaces – Tenant Broker ✓ No fee for clients renting space. We work for YOU, not the landlord. Save 15–20% on your business costs. Save 100–200 hours of research. Access to all available spaces. Specialized real estate expertise. Alone or with other broker ✕ Miss deals and hard-to-find spaces. Potential conflict of interest (often represent landlords). Only 10% of available spaces are online. Lack of specialized expertise. May not get the best terms or uncover hidden costs.
Why Use a Tenant Broker: Your Advocate in Commercial Real Estate 1. The Crucial Distinction: Whose Side Are They On? 2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing 3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory 4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent 5. Time Savings & Process Management 6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”) Summary: Don’t rely on the landlord’s agent. A tenant broker is your advocate, provides better data, negotiates a complete package, and typically costs you nothing.
