1.) Focus.  We are focused on a specific property type in specific markets for specific clients.  Our mission is clear:   To represent the legal field and financial services clients seeking class A office space in select cities in downtown central business districts.  We don't try to be all things to all people.  We only work on office space tenant representation transactions for top clients in the market.

2.) Education.  Our brokers hold business degrees from highly acclaimed schools.  You are always represented by highly-experienced and talented professionals that have each read hundreds of leases and know what's important in getting you the right space. 

3.) Service.  Your calls are returned promptly.   We work long hours.  Your concerns are our concerns.   Whatever it takes, we will get the job done and make sure you are satisfied.  Throughout the leasing process that takes place, you will have direct phone and email access to the President of our company.  You will have our full loyalty, attention, and patience throughout the process.  First,   once you become our client, and the mutual-loyalty starts, you'll be touring through the best office space attainable.  Second, we review the spaces you have seen with us, and a strategy will be formulated that includes fine-tuning what the major deal points are for your company (term, price, amenities, identifying dealbreaker issues, etc.).  In this step we create a legally non-binding letter of intent (LOI) on your behalf, subject to your review & approval.  The LOI allows the tenant and landlord to understand the main business points and issues and begins a general understanding between the landlord and tenant as to what the expectations are.   Third, the lease needs to be reviewed by both one of our top brokers, as well as a real estate attorney (of your choice), to ensure that the final document has reasonable terms and conditions that allow you to have both the flexibility you need, while also protecting your interests to ensure you can stay in the space under the terms and conditions acceptable to your company.

4.) Superior Information and Knowledge.  We have a well-established database of information where we are constantly in-tune with what spaces are available, and what the going rates are at the type of building you want to be located in.   We track the market on a daily basis utilizing up to 3 databases including two paid-for services as well as our own proprietary system.  We spend many thousands of dollars a year maintaining and constantly updating our information.  We have been inside of most buildings within our marketplace of downtown San Francisco.

5.) We are consultants first and foremost.  We don't try to desperately "sell" you on a particular building or a particular office space.  Our brokers don't constantly "cold call" tenants; we don't send out "junk mail flyers"; we don't send unsolicited "SPAM" email.  Most of our clients come to us knowing at least the basic bullet-points of what kind of office space they want.  Most of our clients are referral clients that have been informed of our good service by someone else.  You will get access to virtually any available office building that has available space in our market.  We are not obliged to showcase any particular landlord's buildings.  You will see enough spaces to understand the market in able to find what you are looking for.  We listen to what your key deal points are.   Ethics are very important to us.  You'll know how we're compensated, and who is involved on our transactions.  We are not volume-players, we are focused on working with firms that want a presence in San Francisco.
