When it came time to seek new space, it was my request that once again we hire Mr. Suzman at OfficeLease to help with the dynamic problem of relocating. We couldn’t have done it without him. We would use him again in a moment and if anyone were to ask it would be our pleasure to give him the most glowing referral.”

We recruited Paul Suzman of OfficeLease regarding the leasing or purchasing of office space in Seattle and he was of immeasurable value to our committee at the Washington State Bar Association. He has a very clear understanding of the complexities of the Seattle Real Estate market, knows the political climate, and is familiar with most building owners. His expertise and advice have been invaluable. I would recommend him for this type of assignment without reservation.”

The Seattle Foundation is very careful about the partners we pick for various projects. OfficeLease was an excellent choice because they have a solid reputation that has parlayed itself into an exceptional network of contacts. They have automatic entry into every commercial space in the region. Also, they are local, and develop outstanding personal relationships with their clients.”

Because of our complete satisfaction with the work your firm did for us negotiating our original lease, we hired OfficeLease again to assist us with renegotiation of our corporate administrative offices. Your development of negotiation strategy was excellent. You were sensitive to Nordstrom’s standing in the community, managed and timed the negotiations in such a way that, although we achieved a very favorable and flexible lease agreement, we have maintained a first-class relationship with our landlord. We would highly recommend you to any institution requiring such real estate advisory services.”

I’ve a known Paul Suzman and his company for over 20 years. I regard him as a very capable and experienced office leasing broker and consultant. I served on the WSBA facilities committee when we were deciding whether to renegotiate its lease or relocate to a better suited location, it was crucial that we be represented by someone who would conduct the process fairly and openly. All of us on the committee thoroughly enjoyed working with Paul and his team and were delighted with the outcome.”

Paul Suzman and OfficeLease represented us the last time our 60+ person agency needed space. When we chose to relocate, we again hired OfficeLease to find an alternative home and were delighted with the results. We particularly appreciate the very direct, principled way in which they conduct business. I would gladly recommend OfficeLease to any organization needing guidance with facility acquisition.”

OfficeLease’s principals really understand the business implications of real estate decision making. They analyze the deal from both the tenant’s and landlord’s perspective to establish a sound basis for negotiations. They are great team players too; and facilitate the entire process working closely with both tenant and their attorney to craft as tenant-friendly a lease as the market allows. They are true tenant representatives.”

Social Venture Partners needed new offices but wanted to collocate with other, evolving, dynamic, organizations that shared our values. When the opportunity presented itself, OfficeLease coordinated and expedited the process on the tenants’ behalf and made the deal happen. We and the others truly enjoyed working with Paul and would strongly recommend OfficeLease to any firm needing space.”

OfficeLease identified a 26-acre site that was not on the market and negotiated a purchase price at the most optimistic end of our team’s expectations. They did a great job of effectively working through a multitude of sometimes complex issues with our attorneys, project managers, the property owner and others. It is difficult to imagine that we would have ended up in such an ideal situation without OfficeLease’s involvement.”
