We are pleased to introduce one of the newest members of our Office Services – Tenant Representation team, Mitzi Blancaflor, a seasoned real estate professional who has vast experience in the residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors.

In this episode, Mitzi details the opportunities that commercial leasing practitioners can take advantage of given the current business climate. She said that office occupiers continue to look for office spaces and are reassessing and finding the right balance as they explore work-from-home or work-from-anywhere (WFH/WFA) scenarios. Although many employees find WFH/WFA setups appealing, companies understand that they still must maintain physical offices to enhance productivity, nurture culture, and attract top talents.

“Our role as commercial leasing professionals is to further push the envelope and make them realize that now is the best time to move to a better location when commercial terms are very advantageous to the tenant.”

If you have any questions about the office market or our Tenant Representation service, please reach out to Mitzi (mitzi.blancaflor@colliers.com, +63 917 838 8679).
