Broker Profile

Brian Sakon - bsakon@findnycoffice.com - 212.982.8484 x 28 When Brian Sakon of Winslow & Co. takes on a client he starts with the client. "I visit the office, see what the employees are like, how they work," he says. "That way I get a picture of what they need to thrive." An ad agency thought it couldn’t find the right combination of cost, space and location. Then Brian secured offices within budget and steps away from the client's key customer target: the world’s largest department store chain. For a website security firm, Brian found an access-only facility, even better than the lobby guard the client had in mind. A trained music teacher and musician, Brian succeeds by putting pieces together in commercial leasing too. "We’re the communicators, organizers and expeditors," he says. "The client’s audience becomes my audience. Once I determine who the client needs to reach, I can concentrate on details, negotiate with landlords, so my clients can concentrate on their businesses."
