Why Optimal Spaces Tenant Broker
- Lease negotiation: full terms, renewals, expansion options
- Cost analysis, inventory identification, negotiating scope
- Risk mitigation against hidden pitfalls
Cost Savings
- Negotiate 30+ leasing points to prevent hidden costs
- Save 10–15% on total leasing costs
- Save 100–200 hours filtering unviable spaces
- Property access via broker databases and networks (off-market, subleases, future availability)
Alone or With Other Brokers
- Managing agents owe fiduciary duty to landlords, seeking maximum price and terms rather than tenant savings.
- Inherent conflict of interest as most brokers represent landlords
- Risk of weaker terms and overlooked hidden costs
- Heavy workload falls on you while best spaces are missed

Panelz USA Testimonial
To whom it may concern,
I want to thank Dorothy Kolev and Optimal Spaces Inc. for the excellent job they did in finding us our space. Dorothy made many presentations to us but never lost interest or gave up, she was fast and efficient in locating spaces that met our needs and corporate image, aggressive in negotiating on our behalf, and effective in communicating our needs to the landlord and getting our offer accepted. We are very satisfied with the services of Optimal Spaces Inc. I have recommended her and Optimal Spaces Inc. to friends and colleagues.
Sincerely,
David Yagerman
