Why Seek

Remove the middlemen.

No broker. No fee. No commission.

SF commercial broker fees are typically equivalent to 1–2 months gross rent — approximately 4–8% of year-one rent. On a $96,000/year San Francisco office, that is $8,000–16,000 in intermediary costs embedded in your quoted rate without separate disclosure.

Seek removes that layer entirely. Your enquiry goes direct to the building's operator. They quote their real number. You deal direct.

✓
Direct enquiry to the operator — no broker layer, no inflated quote to cover a commission.
✓
Transparent pricing — operators on Seek compete on their actual rates, not rates padded to recover a finder's fee.
✓
Zero fee to seekers — Seek charges operators a subscription or closing fee. Tenants pay nothing to use the platform.
Common questions

Frequently asked questions about San Francisco office space.

SF pricing varies significantly by district. The Financial District and SoMa command the highest rates at $400–1,200/desk/month. Jackson Square and Mid-Market are similar at $350–1,200/desk/month. The Mission and Marina offer better value at $300–1,000/desk/month — reflecting less commercial character and weaker transit respectively. Conventional Class A and B SF leases run $54–90/sqft/yr depending on district and building quality.
SF commercial broker fees are typically equivalent to 1–2 months gross rent — approximately 4–8% of year-one rent. On a $96,000/year SF office, that is $8,000–16,000 in intermediary costs embedded in your quoted rate. The fee is nominally paid by the landlord but recovered through higher headline rents — you pay it without seeing it broken out. Seek's direct model eliminates this layer entirely.
SoMa is San Francisco's primary startup and technology district — home to Salesforce, Dropbox, Uber, and hundreds of Series A–C companies. The proximity to Caltrain (Peninsula commuting), BART (East Bay), and the startup ecosystem makes it ideal for tech businesses. The Mission offers a more affordable alternative with a strong creative and design cluster. The Financial District is better suited to established financial services, law and professional services.
Yes — the FiDi and SoMa are the best-connected districts in San Francisco. BART serves Powell, Montgomery and Embarcadero stations in the Financial District directly, and Civic Center (adjacent to Mid-Market) on the same lines. Muni J/K/L/M/N lines all run through the Castro corridor north of SoMa, connecting to Caltrain at 4th & King. The Marina has no BART station and relies on Muni bus routes (1 California, 22, 30 Stockton) and Golden Gate Transit for connections.
Yes — major operators (WeWork, IWG, Industrious) sign licence agreements with foreign-incorporated entities. No requirement to hold a US entity to take a flex licence. If you will be hiring employees in California, you will need to register as a foreign entity with the California Secretary of State (SOS) and obtain an EIN from the IRS — but that is independent of the office licence. Most SF flex operators can accommodate non-US entities from day one.
