Abrams Garfinkel & Rosen Testimonial

🤝 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? 2. It Almost Always Costs You Nothing 3. Access to “Hidden” Inventory 4. Negotiating Beyond Base Rent 5. Time Savings & Process Management 6. Mitigating Risk (the “Gotchas”) 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.
