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

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
