Vaultus Professional Service Testimonial
To whom it may concern:
I have had the opportunity to work with "Optimal Spaces" (specifically, Stephen Sunderland) over the last 18 months. Steve was hired to find a reasonably priced lease for corporate office space that would support our highly professional environment. I considered this to be a significant challenge since Manhattan was experiencing a severe shortage in available professional spaces. Honestly, I was expecting to be "sold" a space that would not meet all of our needs. However, in a short period of time, Stephen found a tower-floor space that exceeded my expectations and that was approximately 25% below the current market rates for comparable space.
The most important aspect of working with Stephen is the level to which I can trust him to act in my best interest. I believe that Stephen possesses extensive knowledge of the real estate market and negotiation, is responsive, and performs his work in a highly professional manner. I am impressed by Stephen's sincere desire to understand his clients' needs. It is clear to me that Stephen is most interested in building mutually beneficial business relationships with his clients -- not the commissions they represent.
I am happy to recommend "Optimal Spaces" to other growing businesses, and I look forward to working with "Optimal Spaces" again. Sincerely,
Joseph J. Tutrone
