Office Space Brokers

What Office Space Brokers does

Office Space Brokers, LLC is a privately held, family-owned commercial real estate brokerage headquartered in Tampa, Florida. Founded in 2015 and operating with 1-10 employees under the leadership of Managing Broker John Drinkard and Broker Associate Chelsea Drinkard, the firm specializes in tenant and buyer representation across the Tampa Bay market, covering Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties and submarkets including Westshore, Downtown Tampa, South Tampa, Northwest Tampa, the I-75 Corridor, and Downtown St. Petersburg. Its client base spans local non-profits and small-to-medium businesses through to nationally syndicated companies, with disclosed engagements in healthcare, retail/franchise, and fitness verticals.

The firm operates a traditional brokerage model with no proprietary technology platform, API, or software product. Its service portfolio centers on Tenant Representation and Landlord/Seller Representation, supported by eight adjacent service lines covering subleasing, relocation, renewals and restructuring, lease buyouts and terminations, lease-vs-purchase analysis, and build-to-suit transactions. The firm supplements these services with free online resources — an Office Space Calculator, Lease Expiration Reminder, Business Move Checklist, and Purchase Transaction Checklist — used as lead-generation tools. Content marketing includes blog posts, YouTube videos, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, and quarterly Tampa Bay market reports.

Revenue is generated through commissions paid by landlords on successful lease or purchase transactions, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is consultative direct sales, leveraging relationships within the Tampa landlord and brokerage community to expedite responses and negotiations. The firm is strategically partnered with national affiliates to extend coverage for clients relocating to or from other markets, though no external funding, M&A activity, or parent company affiliation has been disclosed.

Core offering

Office Space Brokers is a Tampa-based commercial real estate brokerage firm that provides tenant and buyer representation services for businesses seeking office space to lease or purchase in the Tampa Bay area. Its core work involves market analysis, property sourcing, lease and purchase negotiation, and ongoing advocacy for clients across leasing, relocation, renewal, restructuring, lease buyouts, subleasing, lease-versus-purchase analysis, and build-to-suit transactions. The firm is paid via commissions on successful transactions, typically funded by the landlord.

Product overview

Office Space Brokers operates as a traditional commercial real estate brokerage firm offering a unified suite of tenant and buyer representation services rather than a software platform. Their core service portfolio centers on Tenant Representation, Landlord/Seller Representation, and eight supporting service lines (Subleasing, Relocation, Renewals & Restructuring, Lease Buyouts & Terminations, Lease vs. Purchase Analysis, and Build-to-Suit Transaction Services). These services are delivered through direct broker-client relationships via phone and email, supplemented by free online resources including an Office Space Calculator, Lease Expiration Reminder, Business Move Checklist, and Purchase Transaction Checklist. The firm does not offer a software product, API, or technology platform—its offerings are professional advisory and negotiation services for commercial real estate transactions in the Tampa Bay market.
