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

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen Testimonial

Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen testimonial Dear Stephen: On behalf of my partners and myself, I want to thank you for your representation, assistance and support in connection with our search for new office space. We have worked with many brokers over the last eighteen months, but you were the only one who truly 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 all of our physical, aesthetic and economic criteria. You have done an excellent job on our behalf, and we are truly appreciative. Please feel free to share this letter with any of your potential clients, as we would wholeheartedly recommend your services to others. Once again, thank you for everything. Sincerely, Neil B. Garfinkel
