About us

The independent housing advisor

Parella, formerly Solved, has been the leading independent housing advisor for businesses since its founding in 2007. We only wear one hat: that of the tenant or that of the owner-occupiers of offices. You might think this is obvious. But that’s not the case. Traditional commercial real estate agents earn a large portion of their revenue from property owners through recurring assignments. As a result, they don’t always make decisions in the client’s best interest.

We’re solely on your side of the table. Our vision has been crystal clear since our founding: to be and remain 100% independent. We don’t collaborate with (or on behalf of) real estate developers, investors, or builders. The partners we engage for support are always experts in their field and are chosen with your best interests in mind.

This means no hidden agendas, just the best housing advice. With Parella, you have a housing advisor who stands by you and acts in your best interests. Always. We have only one goal: to create the ideal office or business space that suits your organization, your budget and your way of working.
