Moving, consolidating, or renewing somewhere between Palo Alto and San Jose? There is a floor of furniture that has to go somewhere, and on most projects that decision gets made about three weeks out. By then the only quote left is a disposal quote.
Thirty minutes with our CEO. No pitch deck, no proposal, no obligation. You leave with a liquidation strategy for the space you are leaving.
The furniture question arrives the same way every time. Someone else has been handling the real estate, and then the contents of the current building turn out to be nobody's job.
Benching that fit the old floor plate does not fit the new one. Half the product could follow you and the other half cannot, and nobody has worked out which half. Redeployment is almost always cheaper than replacement, but only if the sorting happens before the movers are booked.
Two or three offices collapse into one and you are left with several floors of furniture for a fraction of the seats. The surplus is the part with real recovery value, and it is also the part that sits in a hallway until someone calls a hauler.
You signed the renewal and the space is getting reworked around a hybrid count. The old product still has to leave the building, usually on a landlord's schedule, usually while people are trying to work in the same space.
A task chair from 2015 has fifteen good years left in it. The reason it ends up in a transfer station is a calendar problem, not a condition problem. That is the entire gap this call is about closing.
Pounds of office furniture the US throws away every year.
Of quality commercial furniture that ends up in a landfill.
Pounds RESEAT has kept out of landfills so far.
What second life product saves a buyer against the same piece new.
Most of what decides a decommission around here is the building, not the furniture. These are the things that come up on the first call, because they are the things that move dates and change the number.
Brandi Susewitz is RESEAT's co-founder and CEO. She and Eric Susewitz started the company on a single observation: 17 billion pounds of office furniture goes in the ground every year in the US, and 99% of the good commercial product follows it. Not because anybody is careless. Because nobody had a plan for it.
That is the whole company. Furniture sits in a hallway for two weeks and ends up on the curb, and the difference between a curb and a check is almost always how early somebody thought about it. RESEAT has kept 12M+ pounds out of landfills working that one problem, and the work has been recognised at Best of NeoCon.
On this call she is working your building, your dates, and your brand mix. What resells, what is worth a donation letter, what genuinely has to be recycled, and the order it should happen in so the value is still there when the crew arrives.
Four things, in this order. If your situation is simpler than this, it takes twenty minutes and you get the rest back.
Rough counts, rough condition, and the brands. Estimates are fine. This is the part that sets what the floor is worth.
Lease expiry, landlord turnover, build-out schedule, the day the new tenant walks in. Timing decides recovery more than condition does.
What resells, what redeploys into the new space, what gets donated with a tax letter, and what has to be recycled. In that order, because that is the order that recovers value.
What has to happen when, who does it, and a realistic range for what the whole thing recovers or costs. Not a quote. A plan you could hand to your PM.
Thirty minutes with Brandi Susewitz, RESEAT co-founder and CEO. Bring your lease dates and a rough sense of what is on the floor. You will leave with a liquidation strategy whether or not you ever work with us.
A little bit of forethought can end a lot of waste.
