Sapphire Office Solutions Testimonial

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter of recommendation to acknowledge the outstanding job performed by Mr. Stephen Sunderland of Optimal Spaces, Incorporated, in regards to locating and executing a great sublease and direct lease extension. In addition to finding the sublease, Stephen also add a long term extension to our direct lease at a great price. We never would have completed this transaction without Stephen's persistency, expertise, and diligence. We attempted to work with other brokers prior to meeting Stephen (discovered Stephen from advertisement) and he was the only broker who listened to our needs and took us to spaces that fit all OUR requirements, not his. We would highly recommend Mr. Sunderland and his company without hesitation. Sincerely, Paul Holstein President

🤝 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? LANDLORD REP (Listing Agent) Fiduciary Duty: LANDLORD (Highest Rent, Best Terms for Landlord) FORLEASE TENANT REP (Tenant Broker) Fiduciary Duty: TENANT ONLY (Lowest Rent, Best Terms for Tenant) LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD 2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing 3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory 4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent Landlord Pays Fee Free Expert Representation Public Websites (Limited/Dated) BROKER DATABASES & NETWORKS (Off-Market, Subleases, Future Availabilities) FREE RENT TI ALLOWANCE (Build-out Cash) OPEX CAPS (Limit Increases) LEASE FLEXIBILITY (Renewal/Expansion Options) 5. Time Savings & Process Management 6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”) Searching, Scheduling, RFPs Outsourced RE Dept. (Curated Options, Timeline Management) Restoration Clauses Holdover Penalties LEASE PROTECTION Spots Pitfalls in LOI & Lease 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.
