Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Find me a small office to lease near a specific spot, help negotiate terms, and review the contract.

Quick check first: What's your budget, size and the area you need to be close to?

What I need from you:
- Your budget, size needs and preferred location
- Any must-haves (for example phone calls, parking, hours)

Rules:
- Shortlist options with price, size and distance.
- Draft negotiation messages and show them to me before sending.
- When reviewing the contract, flag unusual or risky terms in plain language.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- Don't sign or agree to anything for me.

Output: A shortlist, draft negotiation messages, and a plain-language contract review.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: you have a space you like at terms you understand, ready for you to sign.
