Cityfeet.com also offers easy access to all the goods and services related to the move-in process.
Working with real estate brokers
As the market cools off, brokers are more interested in working
with non-profit clients. Likewise, in particularly hot and fast
markets, most brokers focus all of their attention on large commercial
consumers of space. The lesson in this is that if you need less
than a 1,000 sq. ft., you are going to have to do a lot of the leg
work yourself. Brokers get paid based on how many square feet and
how long a lease is for. In general brokers make $1/sq. ft./year
of a lease. Small organizations, however, can work with the Partnership
for Affordable Non-Profit Space to identify space opportunities.
A good walk around some of our outer neighborhoods (Outer Mission,
Excelsior, Bayview, Ocean Ave.) will also net many leasing opportunities
at affordable rates. To learn more about the leasing process and
working with brokers, please review Leasing
Basics and Leasing
& Real Estate Terms. To learn more about our current real
estate climate please refer to our Market
Update.
