How exciting that you’re trying to find office space for lease or sale. Depending on the commercial real estate state of the market, either you will have a lot of options, or none at all. So let’s delve into it.
To find your dream office space, you will have to check tons of websites for hours until you find the perfect place for your business.
How to Get Started:
Instead of jumping on Google and wasting hours trying to figure out which websites you can use to find office space for rent or purchase for yourself, we’ll outline and link you to the sites you can use below. But first, you must think hard about what your tolerance for office space is and the stage of your business.
Short Term Space:
You can find sublease opportunities in most commercial real estate listing search engines, but they are not easy to filter out. This means you have to look at hundreds of individual listings before being able to identify a sublease opportunity for your company.
Your Own Space (Be selfish!):
Like we mentioned earlier, none of these websites have 100% of all the listings in one place, so you will want to check all of them to make sure you’re not missing any opportunities for your business.
Another important note is that the websites with the most office space listings and best search filters are restricted to commercial real estate agents.
How to Save Time Finding Office Space:
In order to help you save some time here are some tips if you’re searching for space on your own:
- Keep track of every listing you inquire on
- Call, Leave a Voicemail and Email: Make sure you do all these 3 things.
- If you don’t hear within 24 hours, call & email again
Sharing Office Space with Others:
In order to find cheap office space options to rent, you may consider that your business is okay sharing space with other companies. There are a few shared office spaces and coworking space search engines that you can use. This is a perfect option for startups or companies growing fast that are unable to sign a long-term lease. If this is your case you can try coworking spaces or shared space opportunities.
Most business owners and entrepreneurs are very busy growing their businesses, which means they have little time to find office space. That is why if you’re having a hard time it is best to outsource the search for office space to a trusted commercial real estate professional.
