"Companies looking to dispose of space often make the mistake of looking for the quick way out," USI Mid-Atlantic co-managing director Dan Gonzalez explains. "Understanding how your office space fits into your business plans now and in the future greatly affects your bottom line and is the difference between just getting rid of space and significant cost savings."

Relying on its market knowledge, tenant-focused operations, and technology-centered communications, USI Mid-Atlantic claims to save its clients up to 35% of costs associated with selling off real estate. The company, which began its services toward the end of 2001, completed about $6 million in sales for its clients in 2002.
