Commercial brokers help businesses find, evaluate, and secure space for lease or purchase. In an office leasing context, that includes defining requirements, sourcing options, arranging tours, comparing costs, reviewing market conditions, and negotiating lease terms. A tenant-focused broker also advocates for the occupier’s interests, helping reduce risk, improve flexibility, and streamline the process from search through signed lease.
