No broker. No fee. No commission.

São Paulo brokers typically charge ~10% of total lease value — equivalent to 1–2 months' rent on a conventional lease. Colliers' São Paulo Global Occupier Guide confirms landlords typically pay the tenant rep broker's fee, but this cost is factored into quoted rents. On a R$1,200/desk/month flex space, the indirect broker cost is embedded 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.
