Established by two former commercial real estate brokers, Alan Bernier and Garrett Krueger, Rofo is said to catalogue some 6,000+ spaces in California’s central fixation for the startup world, all for the purposes of finding locations with square-footage that more or less encapsulates that very demographic of business. And not only does it publish listings, it cuts out the need for users to monitor posts with space needs notifications. Once items come across your account inbox, you can send property managers requests for showings, conduct Q&A sessions with users, and even publish reviews and directions for fellow users to consider when searching for space and ruminating needs.
Most everything is well drawn within Rofo’s various quarters. There’s nothing scattered or overwhelming about the place. And as far as expert- and user-generated tips and content, posts are concise and worth browsing, whether you’re involved with pre-lease or post-lease planning and habitation. Also, if for whatever reason you’d like to gauge the average price for a space in a particular city within the Rofo database, you can input your specifications into the Rofometer (embeddable on any webpage) to find out if you’re getting it too easy, too hard, or somewhere in the middle.
