Do I need a broker to help me find office space?

No. The Internet is full of sites that have spaces listed for lease. What you need a broker for is their expertise involved in the leasing process. An effective broker does much more than just find the space; you should view them as you would your legal council or your CPA. You want their advice as to what space is best suited for your business and what are the most effective terms that the space can be leased for. A good broker will help you in all aspects of the commercial space transaction. That starts with understanding your business, signing a lease, relocating to your new space and questions that may arise after your move-in. Finding the space is simply one minor step in the overall process.
