Onsite Networks Testimonial

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, Dennis Jules Kessler Chief Financial Officer On Site Networks, Inc

🤝 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.

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.
