For most businesses, leasing office space can be one of the most costly line items in their budget, which is why they need a well-versed and experienced commercial real estate broker to be on their side when it comes to lease negotiations.

Our BNI Chapter 34 President, Brandon DeGraff Brandon DeGraff Commercial Real Estate Broker & Managing Director at JLL will be our Featured Speaker this Thursday on Zoom.

He will be sharing his experience & market insights on what certain businesses in different industries are looking for when it comes to leasing office space in NYC and beyond.

When it comes to leasing office space, business owners need an experienced commercial real estate broker like Brandon to guide them, especially when it comes to lease negotiations and the earlier the better.

In some cases, you may have a few years before your office lease expires, and that is the right timing to reach out to Brandon as his JLL team.

Brandon is looking to be connected with COO, CFOs and Office Operations Managers to network with.

DM us or Brandon directly to join us for some networking and his presentation!
