Welcome to Nomad, Alice.
You're now part of a tech-forward commercial real estate team that's reimagining how New York's fast-moving companies find office space. This handbook is your map for the summer, how we work, the language of the deal, and exactly what your first week looks like. Read it once now, and keep it open as a reference.
A tech-focused brokerage, built for high-growth teams.
Nomad Group was founded in October 2019 by Matthew DeRose, William Janetschek, and Adam Justin. We own, manage, and lease over 1.5 million square feet of commercial space across New York City, and we use that portfolio to give growing companies flexible office space at below-market rates.
Our clients are predominantly high-growth, VC-backed companies, the kind that go from 6 employees to 100 in less than a year. Traditional brokers struggle to serve teams moving that fast. We don't. With proprietary software and an in-house construction company, we hand clients a transparent look into the market and supply the data points that make them confident they made the right workspace decision.
The Nomad Way
Our philosophy is simple: a superior customer experience earns trust, and trust earns repeat business. Where most commercial brokerages chase revenue and shareholder value above all else, we place customer-value first. We even measure a client's underlying worth through customer-based corporate valuation (CBCV), a deliberate shift away from "profit at all costs" toward collaboration, precision, and accountability.
Unlike big CRE firms where sales teams compete under one roof, we promote collaboration across the whole organization, sharing information to expedite learning, grow networks, and close more deals. Transparency is the model. We've seen how the old guard treats information as "less is more"; that's the broken model we've pledged to end.
Our vision
Ten years ago, companies signed 10–15 year leases and rarely revisited them. Today, VC-backed companies grow from 6 to 100 employees in under a year, and these founders are well-educated and demand simplified software that re-focuses their attention on what they do best, their company. Nomad exists to serve that modern occupier with clarity, speed, and care.
What you'll do this summer.
As a Brokerage Research Intern, you'll work alongside Megan Gallagher and David Greene across three areas: residential, the Justin Management (JM) agency portfolio, and 30 West 21st Street. You'll get a rare look at both sides of the business, the agency (owner) side and the tenant side, and learn the craft from the ground up: touring properties, pulling market research, assembling comps and listing materials, and shadowing real deals.
Where you'll focus
You'll split your time across three workstreams, each with a lead who gives you direction and feedback.
Residential, with Megan
Support Megan Gallagher on residential listings and clients: research, comparables, listing prep, and showings. Megan works well beyond residential, so expect to see her other deals too.
JM agency portfolio
Agency (owner-side) work for the Justin Management portfolio: track availability, tenants, and building data, and help keep the leasing picture current.
30 West 21st Street, with David
Agency work on this building with David Greene: leasing activity, inbound interest, pricing context, and tour coordination.
Agency vs. tenant rep
Two of your three workstreams, the JM portfolio and 30 West 21st Street, are agency work: you represent the owner, so the job is to market and lease the owner's space, track who is touring it, and help set rents and concessions to maximize the building's income. That's a different muscle from tenant representation and prospecting, where you represent a company hunting for space and the work is lead gen, availability searches, and negotiating on the tenant's behalf. You'll do both this summer, and residential adds a third flavor. Section 10 breaks down the day-to-day of each side.
The kind of work
Agency & listings
Help market owner space: availability tracking, comparables, leasing activity reports, listing materials, and tour coordination.
Tenant rep & prospecting
Build and clean prospect lists, research target clients, run availability searches, and support outreach over email, LinkedIn, and warm calls.
Market & property research
Pull data from CoStar and our Master Excel sheet, track active listings, and build the picture of what's available and at what price.
Shadow the deal
Sit in on showings, tours, calls, and negotiations. Watch a deal move from first conversation to signed.
What we expect
Real estate is a fast-paced business: you'll get out what you put in. Be present in the office during office hours (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday); being in the room speeds up your learning curve and the deals you're part of. Communicate professionally, take initiative, ask questions, and learn the language (the glossary in section 09 is your friend). Curiosity and hustle matter more than knowing the answers on day one.
Your first week, day by day.
June 1–5, 2026. The goal of week one is simple: get set up, meet the team, and start building a foundation in commercial real estate. Don't worry about being an expert. Just absorb, ask, and take notes.

Market snapshot: Q1 2026
A quick read on the Manhattan office market you're walking into. Leasing has roared back, driven by AI and large-tenant deals, while available Class A space keeps shrinking.
By submarket, average asking rents run about $84.74/SF in Midtown, $80.27/SF in Midtown South, and $61.70/SF Downtown. (Q1 2026 Manhattan figures; see footer for sources.)
How leads turn into deals.
Nomad prides itself on lead generation: attention to detail and client satisfaction. The goal is to get an introduction, demonstrate our unique value almost immediately, and get potential clients to respond. Here are the four channels you'll support.
Direct outreach
Email, LinkedIn, and calls. A well-written message is immeasurable. Pair professionalism with a hint of whimsy and curiosity, and a personal touch. Cold calling is out; warm calling is in.
Alumni networks & follow-up
NYC is a huge city and alumni have always shown to be valuable network members. Follow up and stay connected.
Network, network, network
The industry has a lot to offer, from weekly networking events to member associations. Build, join, and support local groups.
Utilize coworking spaces
Coworking spaces are a great pool of potential customers, companies ready to advance their culture, brand, and mission.

Hi [First name],
I came across [Company]'s recent raise. Congratulations. As teams grow this fast, the office you signed for last year can start to feel small fast.
At Nomad Group we help high-growth, VC-backed companies find space that flexes with them, often at below-market rates. I'd love to send over a few options near you and share what comparable teams are paying right now.
Would a quick 15-minute call this week work? I'll come ready with availability.
Best,
[Your name] · Nomad Group

How a lease actually comes together.
A Letter of Intent (LOI) is a non-binding document that outlines the major deal terms to be negotiated between a tenant and landlord. It's the foundation that gets implemented in the lease document. Tap each term to learn what it means.
Identifies who's at the table: the prospective tenant (the company) and the landlord / owner of the building.
The total square footage of the leased space, along with the floor or suite number and any other identifiers.
The intended use of the space, outlining any restrictions or special requirements for how it can be occupied.
How long the lease runs. Commercial terms are typically anywhere from 1 to 10 years, depending on the building, owner, and deal.
The price per square foot (PSF), typically expressed as an annual rent on the rentable square footage, plus the rent amount and payment schedule.
How and when rent increases. Direct Operating Expenses (OpEx) are typically taken on footprints at or above 10,000 SF; smaller spaces usually use fixed rent escalations negotiated around 2.00–3.00%.
The condition of the space at lease start, including any build-out responsibilities. A Tenant Improvement (TI) Allowance is the amount (price PSF) ownership will provide for a build-to-suit, negotiated between landlord and tenant.
Three common types: Direct (straight to Con Edison, most economic), Sub-metered (you pay the landlord for measured consumption), and Rent Inclusion (electric is built into rent).
Whether cleaning is the landlord's expense or the tenant's obligation, and if it's the tenant's, finding a cleaner who meets the building's insurance requirements.
A grant giving the tenant the option to match an offer from another party when the owner decides to lease additional space in the building.
The options a tenant has to renew, extend, or expand the space in the future.
Whether the tenant can sublease its premises or assign its lease, and what landlord consent is required to do so.
Often required and negotiated based on the tenant's financials.
Whether the tenant can install and maintain signage in the lobby, common corridors, and within their own premises.
Typically 24/7 access, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
A timeframe within which the tenant can conduct inspections and due diligence on the property.
Last but not least: how we get paid. The commission is stated in accordance with a separate agreement and calculated by Nomad Property Group LLC.
Negotiations: how to make the deal
Lease negotiation blends finance, communication, and strategy to secure the best deal for the party you represent. Five elements matter most.
Time
Time is your best friend. Start early, and submit a non-binding offer to express interest while you keep touring options. Keep the client focused on 2–3 options.
Optionality
A good broker always has a Plan A and at least one back-up. If the client gets outbid, ownership may make an in-house direct deal or expansion.
Understanding needs
Understand the most important needs of both your client and the party across the table. Clear, open communication is vital.
Market analysis
Know the competition and comparable listings nearby, and benchmark lease terms against the market to ground the conversation.
Flexibility
The best negotiations involve some give and take. Be ready to adapt and find creative solutions to get past impasses.
Speak the language.
Commercial and residential real estate share a deep vocabulary, spanning leasing, finance, development, and the law. This is the fastest way to look something up mid-conversation or mid-email. Filter by category, or start typing to search every term.
Letter of Intent LOI
A preliminary, non-binding written document outlining the key terms of a proposed deal before the lease is drafted.

Most of your research feeds one of two workflows: representing the tenant or representing the landlord. Knowing both makes you a sharper analyst.
Tenant representation
Availability search / market overview
A detailed breakdown of active listings in tune with the client's needs. Shared across the team in Google Sheets with specific search parameters so everyone offers unique guidance.
Space books
After the availability search, narrow the top selections into a clean, concise list of spaces that fit the client, an easy reference to share with the team.
Tenant financial projections
A projections analysis helps the client visualize and understand how to achieve their targeted budgetary restrictions and net effective exposure.
Agency / landlord
Market comp reports
Quarterly market reports give landlords real-time insight: current data on direct competition and comparables, so they can adjust rents and maximize income.
Leasing activity reports
Detailed insight into how many inquiries and tours a space is getting, critical feedback on what to adjust about the neighborhood, building, and floor.
Landlord financial projections
A proper breakdown helps landlords see how we can get creative to accomplish rent parameters and pro forma numbers (abatement, TI allowance, FF&E) to push the deal toward a signed lease.
How we work together.
Our goal is simple: build a community where the team cultivates lasting relationships that go beyond a single transaction. These are the values that get us there.
Enthusiastic
We live and breathe real estate. It's just who we are, and it's all about helping our clients thrive.
Authentic
We stay true to our brand, values, and mission, bringing transparency to an industry riddled with obscurity.
Customer centricity
We put clients above all else: active listening, real feedback, and exceptional service.
Timekeeping
We're client-driven, focused on each client's unique needs to help them get where they want to be.
Ethical
We take pride in our work and never sacrifice long-term values for short-term success.
Competitive
We wouldn't be here if we were okay being average. A high level of competition drives passion and professionalism.
Learning
Nobody in this company is too good or too knowledgeable to learn from the rest. Thrive off every person.
Work-life integration
Be the same person at home as in the office. Great ideas and real relationships form when we integrate the two healthily.
Meet the team.
Your team. Don't hesitate to reach out to anyone; everyone here was new once, and we learn from each other.
