The most important things first
Office space leasing helps owners reduce vacancy and secure rental income earlier. At M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH, the process is tailored to the space, the market and the target group. The service is especially suitable for property owners with investment properties, not for owner-occupied boutique properties.
What we repeatedly notice in practice: it is not the most attractive appearance that decides first, but whether a prospective tenant can immediately envision the space as a functioning office. This is where M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH begins, with close support and a marketing approach that targets fit over mass.
Who is the leasing of office space suitable for?
The marketing is suitable for property owners with an investment object who do not want to simply place an advertisement but want to occupy the space in a economically sensible way. The goal is a suitable tenant base, a comprehensible pricing position, and as little vacancy as possible.
The approach is not suitable for owner-occupied enthusiasts. The line is clear when creditworthiness and industry do not fit the tenant mix in the building. Then it is openly stated instead of filling the space at any price.
How does the marketing process work at M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH?
| Phase | Content | Time required |
|---|---|---|
| Mandate take-over analysis | Location, market and target groups are checked, from this follow marketing actions and pricing | about 1 month |
| Market on the market | Publication via internet, direct outreach and own client base | ongoing after analysis |
| Interest management | Prospects are closely guided so they can better assess the space | during the inquiry and viewing phase |
| Closing and new tenancy | Goal is a suitable tenancy with as short vacancy as possible | in the example about 6 months |
With our commission model, a win-win situation is created: we get the best possible out of the property, while remaining honest and transparent.
What does marketing office space cost?
M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH
The billing is done as a percentage of the annual net rent of the property. Depending on location and fit-out, it ranges from 8 to 16 percent. What matters is not only the rate itself, but whether the marketing ends vacancy earlier and thus economically offsets it.
Professional marketing can be worthwhile especially when a space stands empty for a longer time. In one example, a space that was vacant for over 5 years was taken over and re-rented in about 6 months. Contrary to the belief that lower costs are automatically better, a clean marketing process can appear more expensive but yield more in the end.
Why is tenant selection more important than a quick tenancy?
In office space, not only demand matters, but the quality of demand. If creditworthiness and industry do not fit the tenant mix, the risk of later conflicts or unnecessary vacancy after a hasty conclusion increases.
M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH states this stance clearly: if there is a bad feeling, it is disclosed instead of renting the space at any price. This is not a sales argument, but a protective function for the owner and the building as a whole.
- Appropriate creditworthiness reduces the risk of default.
- The industry must fit the existing tenant mix.
- A quick conclusion is only good if the fit is right.
- Tightly guided viewings help to realistically assess the space.
What alternatives exist and where are the limits?
| Option | Strength | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Own marketing | Direct and seemingly cheap | Often lacks reach and structured selection |
| Broad online listings | Fast visibility | Without close guidance, fit is often superficial |
| Professional marketing | Targeted positioning and support | Costs arise upfront but pay off with a clean process |
The biggest limit is where many third-party providers are involved. Then the process slows down and becomes time-consuming. M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH reduces this downside by offering much of it from one source.
What does a concrete real-world example show?
From our perspective, an example says more than any theory: a space that stood empty for over 5 years was taken over and re-rented in about 6 months. This is not a standard story, but a sign of how much market knowledge, positioning and tenant care influence the course.
We have also accompanied spaces from small to large, up to 3500 m². This shows that the same principle applies regardless of size: first understand, then market, then close in a targeted manner.

Particularly for office space, the benefit shows where owners not only rent but position the space strategically. M. J. Real Estate Consulting GmbH makes this a clear recommendation: not to rent at any price, but to rent fit and economically.
