I am writing in recognition of the quality service provided by Optimal Spaces Inc. and Stephen Sunderland in finding us a sublease at 41 Madison Avenue. We strongly recommend them for the excellent job they did. They were efficient and responsive 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.
I look forward to working with the team at Optimal Spaces Inc. again.
Very truly yours,
