Neal J. Lerner
Neal J. Lerner & Company, Inc. is a New York-based commercial real estate services firm that specializes in tenant representation. Founded in 1999, the firm adopted a conflict-free business model of representing only tenants for their commercial real estate transactions.
Neal also owns and operates an online real estate company: LookingForSpace.com, which is a full service marketing and brokerage website that enables Law Firms & Professionals to market surplus offices for sublease to Attorneys or others. The service operates on a national basis in all major U.S. cities.
The website helps qualified advertisers promote office space on their own and it also offers the marketing assistance of a real estate professional as an option. It serves both the community of professional office space occupiers who seek to rent individual offices in shared space. It also assists larger Law firms and Legal practices that have extra offices available for sublease.
The site segments office space listings by professional category and offers small and solo office tenants a suite of tools that enables them to sublease individual offices on their own.
Neal has been involved in the technical aspects of online marketing since the inception of internet advertising. LookingForSpace.com is the expression of that experience combined with Neal’s brokerage expertise and his understanding of the small and solo CRE marketplace.
Tenant representation affords Neal J. Lerner a unique perspective that is dedicated on the tenant’s occupancy issues and the pursuit of the best available real estate solutions. The focus is exclusively office brokerage - primarily helping small firms obtain the same representation that larger firms have available. LookingForSpace was founded to offer professional services to the small office / shared office market which previously lacked any real opportunities for professional representation.
The firm has been involved in almost 1 million square feet of tenant representation assignments. We are pleased to offer a full complement of commercial real estate services to our clients that include:
- Inspection Tours
- Site Selection
- RFP Development
- Comparative Financial Analysis
- Lease Negotiation
