How It Works
Most real estate sites force you to use a broker by withholding critical information about their listings. We felt that was an easy fix.
1. Review the space online
When you find a space you like, we provide as much information as possible upfront. That includes extensive photo documentation, virtual tours, complete floor plans, asking price, and detailed neighborhood information so you can evaluate whether it’s a good fit early.
2. Tour the space virtually or in person
Most tenants will want to visit in person before signing, but they do not always need to at the start. We support a process where you can review a space virtually first, which is especially helpful for out-of-state decision-makers who need to narrow options quickly.
3. Move to lease or submit a Letter of Intent
If the space works for your team, you may be able to move directly to lease review. If terms need to be outlined first, you can also submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) as a starting point for negotiations. We see the LOI as a practical, flexible tool that helps move deals forward faster.
4. Negotiate if needed
In most cases, some negotiation will happen. That is normal. Build outs, lease terms, deposit, concessions, and allowances may all be part of the discussion. Our goal is to keep that process as straightforward and transparent as possible.
5. Provide financials when required
Depending on the landlord and the deal, financials (Profit and loss statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, bank statements, etc.) may be requested as part of the approval process. This is especially common when major upfront investments are negotiated to close the deal.
6. Review and sign the lease
Once terms are agreed on, the final step is lease review and signing. If the lease works for your business, you can move forward with confidence.nd clear, not feel like negotiating a back-room deal.
It’s About Transparency
Information should never be withheld for a buck.
We don’t hate brokers. Far from it. We just don’t think you should be forced to use a broker, and we hate the gate keeping of information that is so prevalent in commercial real estate.
Our platform is designed to give companies access to complete office listings that are up to date and include all the information they need to make a decision, including floor plans, virtual tours, and editable leases you can negotiate, sign, and submit through the website.
The idea is that if you want to, you can complete the entire process with no broker needed at all!
In most cases, the entire leasing process can be completed online, from Letter of Intent to final contract, without speaking to a broker or paying a commission. We believe you deserve clear pricing, complete information, and a process built for you, not a broker.
When a Broker May Still Be Involved
Even with a broker-free approach, there are times when a broker may still be part of the transaction. A landlord may have representation, or a tenant may want support during negotiations. But that does not mean you need to start with the traditional broker-led process.
For us, this is about putting tenants first, reducing friction, and building trust. The more tenants can verify online, the more transparent and efficient the leasing process becomes.
At Offices.com, we are rethinking office leasing for modern businesses. That means giving you the information you need, creating a smoother path to negotiations, and helping you rent office space without relying on the old model from the very beginning.
