About Obia
Summary
Obia brokers commercial real estate leases and purchases for businesses, starting with industrial and office properties in California. Its brokers use AI agents to read listing brochures, compare rents, and check zoning across multiple properties in parallel, compressing research that once took hours per property into minutes. A shared market database grows with each search, and a local broker handles tours and lease negotiations through to signing.
Business model
Free to tenants; the landlord pays the brokerage fee.
Go-to-market
Business tenants and buyers self-initiate by submitting size, location, timeline, and budget online; Obia responds the same day and assigns a local broker to manage the search.

AI-native commercial real estate brokerage
OBIA is an AI-native commercial real estate brokerage for industrial and office. We help businesses find their best-fit space, negotiate a competitive deal backed by market data, and get the keys in as little as two weeks. Finding the right space means evaluating operational fit, zoning, and pricing using information scattered across listings, brochures, municipal codes, maps, and broker conversations. That research can take a broker hours per property. OBIA reduces that work to minutes. We started with industrial and office properties in California, with plans to expand nationally and into other asset classes. Our goal is to make thorough, responsive commercial real estate representation available to every business.
