Sander Partnership Inc Testimonial

Dear Stephen, Looking for a new location in business has to be one of the most difficult situations a person finds himself or herself in. Thankfully, we found you. Without your diligent searches for space, I am convinced we would have never found the right space, at the right price and in the right location. You made the searches more enjoyable with your humor, and all of us at Sander Partnership decided early to work with your company. I hope we stay in touch, and if any of my friends need space, I would certainly recommend you. I hope you will stop by to see what we have done with the space. David Sander Sander Partnership

🤝 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.
