A traditional commercial real-estate agent vs Plekky: what's the difference?
You can let an office space through both a (traditional) commercial real-estate agent and Plekky. Plekky, however, takes an approach that's very different from a commercial agent. In this blog we compare a traditional commercial real-estate agent with Plekky. What are the main differences? Because there certainly are some!
As a tenant or landlord of an office space in Amsterdam or Utrecht, you may be familiar with the traditional commercial real-estate agents who focus mainly on the needs of property owners and property managers.
But at Plekky we know there's a need for flexibility within the lease — and that's exactly where the difference lies.
Target audience
There's quite a difference between the target audience of a commercial real-estate agent and that of Plekky. Traditional commercial agents focus mainly on the needs of property owners and property managers.
Plekky, by contrast, is there specifically for tenants of office spaces — the 'end user', in other words.
Flexibility in the lease
Traditional commercial agents generally aim to close long-term leases that are favourable to property owners. As a result, commercial agents usually don't consider flexibility in the lease all that important.
Plekky holds flexibility in the lease in high regard. We're happy to think along with you and help your business through lease takeovers or a lease assignment (in Dutch: indeplaatsstelling). Plekky also offers the option to sublet office space to another company.
Services
The services of traditional commercial agents and Plekky also differ. Commercial agents are mainly busy managing property portfolios, carrying out market research and negotiating leases, for example.
Plekky, on the other hand, puts the end user at the centre by offering extensive service throughout the renting or letting process for office spaces. This is how Plekky sets itself apart from both traditional commercial agents and direct competitors.
Still on the fence?
The two biggest advantages over a traditional commercial real-estate agent:
Flexibility: Plekky understands the need for flexibility within leases and offers solutions geared towards it, such as subletting and lease takeover/assignment.
Service-focused: Plekky puts the end user — that is, the tenant or landlord — at the centre. We search for your new office space together and support you wherever we can.
In short: are you looking for an office space in Amsterdam or Utrecht, and would you like a helping hand with it?
