I was able to downsize from leasing an office for over 25 years with a 5-year minimum lease each renewal and all of the overhead associated with it to 3 offices at Office Alternatives all-inclusive. This move helped me as I get closer to retirement age, be able to reduce overhead by thousands of dollars annually. The ability to expand or downsize further, frees up my business model and allows for growth when I need it or to streamline further. The professional onsite staff are always there to help me, my staff and my incoming clients. They act as an extension of my team and are always willing to serve with a smile. I like the fact that the office is in a professional business and the location cannot be beat. I also like that the company is locally owned and not a big chain or corporation.

Prior to Office Alternatives answering our phones, our clients called in and got a robotic phone tree system telling them to Press 1 for Richard, 2 for Sharon so and so forth. Looking back, I can see that was probably frustrating for those calling in to not get a live person, and who knows how many sales we lost because the caller got voicemail. Office Alternatives seamlessly took over our phone answering and within hours we had a professional team of highly trained, friendly receptionists answer our phones live and route our calls as the robotic phone tree system would have. Actually, even better because now we can tell the receptionist how to handle the call if we don’t want to take it right on the spot. We’ve even been able to stop calls from coming in and purposely send them to voicemail if we needed to be able to have a set of focused work hours with no interruptions to meet deadlines. There are many other benefits as well to be named. Overall, we love our phone reception at OA and feel it’s an amazing value for such a small price.

I would say that client’s prefer getting a greeting from a live person on the other end and having their calls routed instead of hearing a recording with “press this number to reach this person, press this number to reach this person, etc.is the biggest improvement by joining Office Alternatives. When I’ve called into the office or would be near the front desk when calls come in, everyone seems to do a great job of answering the phones in a friendly, professional way.

My business has been located at Office Alternatives for several years. I assist folks with their Medicare Insurance needs, I am an insurance agent with Applied General Agency. Office Alternatives has been absolutely wonderful. Their staff always answers the phone on my behalf when I am not here to take the call, which tremendously helps to capture missed sales calls and service calls. Their team is knowledgeable and pleasant to work with! Also, I help insurance agents that I train on a monthly basis, and the usage of the [hourly] conference rooms are a must have for my commitments. And if my agents and I double up on appointments, we can spill over to an available [hourly day] office and conduct appointments simultaneously. The facility is clean and professional and definitely gives an impression of excellence!! I am super happy with Office Alternatives.

Regarding: Temporary Office Space I can’t thank you and your team enough for helping Reel Security establish the New Mexico operation. The location at Riverside Plaza is convenient, and tastefully professional – yet warm and inviting. I can’t say enough about helpful and accommodating the office manager, Christine, and admin assistant Toni have been every day our team has been there. Judging from the interactions with other tenants, I’d have to say that Christine and Toni perform at that level on a continual basis because satisfaction appears to be commonplace every day. The total picture of the “temporary” space has exceeded my expectations to the point that our company will be extending our planned stay at Office Alternatives. Reel Security will most likely continue to utilize the facility even after opening our permanent office. I can’t thank you enough for the professionalism your team displays.

When a potential web development client suggests we meet at a coffee shop, it really gets their attention when I suggest we meet at my office… and ask if they prefer east or west of the Rio Grande.

I called a colleague recently who had a really cheerful receptionist answer the phone. As we spoke, he told me he uses Office Alternatives to answer his phones. I have used national services in the past and they were both very expensive and in some cases got terrible reviews from my callers. I was impressed with the service as a caller and am looking forward to using it for my law firm.

I was at a very frustrating point of my career when I was trying to relocate and expand my business when I found Office Alternatives at Riverside. The minute I walked in the building and met the people there I knew I found my business home! Within the first week my clients raved about how much better of a fit my new office is for me. I am so happy I made this decision. And more importantly I know it will help my business grow. I can see myself here for a very long time!

Review Image Review Image Review Image Review Image Review Image

My experience with OA Office Alternatives ( Albuquerque, NM ) was not very “positive”. First I found many companies online and OA was one of those. I contacted and spooked with Joe Pellegrino (sales rep) At the beginning we agreed in month/month with no setup fees. Right on the first payment I received something around $ 40 for setup fee. I had to get the phone and call them and explain that we agreed (on written) that will be no setup fees. OK – after I wasted my time and my cell minutes they agreed with no setup fee ( I don’t think this was very honest, but…) I used the Virtual Office for 3 months. The only time I really need OA services was when I received a check and had to be forwarded to my address in another state. They “pledge” they did forwarded the mail, but I never received. When I called to discuss about this “ghost mail” they said that they send and it out through USPS – Priority mail ( the cheapest way money can buy) and charged me almost $ 10. They knew I had a check inside and didn’t even sent with delivery signature so I could get a hold of my check securely – they preferred save some money on shipping – so they could “pocket more”. I do not recommend this company to anyone – specially if you have something important to receive and have it forwarded to another address. They will try to “cheap you out” as much as they can. I opted this company based on reviews on the internet – I guess those reviews didn’t reflect the truth. Maybe posted by themselves to promote the company. Stay away from this company.

I have been using office space at both current locations (Riverside and Lang) for the last 7 months. The staff is super accommodating and helpful. The facilities are clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of parking at both convenient locations. This is a great place to start a business or schedule meetings if you run a home-based business.

  • Is there a fee for parking?

    No, all parking is free and there’s plenty of it onsite

  • Can I access my office on the weekends or at night?

    Yes, as a tenant member of Office Alternatives and an office renter, you will have a building security card to access your office day and night.

  • Can I use the building office address to receive mail?

    Yes absolutely! That’s a perk.

  • Do the office rentals include administrative services?

    Yes for a small fee, you may outsource your business’ administrative needs or telephone reception. A copier/printer is available pay per click and billed to your monthly invoice.

  • Is there a contract or lease?

    It depends. We offer month-to-month in some of our spaces and a 12-month minimum lease in others. Check with the onsite manager at each location.

  • Are the offices furnished or unfurnished?

    Mostly unfurnished yet we do have a few offices open up on occasion with furniture for an extra fee. Check with the site manager.

  • Is there a discount if I sign a lease?

    That decision is up the site managers and varies on market conditions. Please contact our offices.

  • Are the offices all-inclusive?

    Yes, they include internet, a phone, coffee, utilities, a receptionist up front, janitorial, pest control and more!

  • How much is an office?

    The answer depends on many factors including location, amenities such as windows, outside access doors, interior, square footage…and other factors. Call us today for a tour.

  • What is meant by “Virtual office?

    A virtual office or also known as Virtual Services, gives businesses that usually work-from-home or on the road a physical address and office-related services without the overhead of a long lease and administrative staff. With a virtual office, employees can work from anywhere but still have things like a professional mailing address, phone answering services, meeting rooms, and administrative services.

  • Why get Virtual Mail versus a PO Box?

    Using Office Alternatives’ address as your business address has several advantages. First you are able to have our Class A Professional Office building pull up when someone types your business name or finds into Google or other search engines instead of your personal home or a PO Box. This gives your business a professional image. Secondly, many advertising sites and Google, will not allow you to use a PO Box thus you will end up using your personal home address regretfully. Lastly, having a professional place to receive important mail and packages ensures these items are safe and secure. Nowadays with theft and fraud, this option provides peace and security.

  • Do I get an assigned PO Box Number?

    Yes and No. As a virtual office/mail client, you use our building address with no box publicly. Internally, we sort and deliver your mail to our internal “box” whereby you have keys and can access your box 24/7.

  • What if I cannot check my mail?

    Just call or email us. We can check your mail and email you the contents. You also have the option of paying to forward your mail to you if you're out of town.

  • Is there a limit to the number or size of packages I receive?

    We encourage customers to limit large packages such as furniture, large printers and equipment. We are not set to receive such items and they could incur at extra charge. We also charge $3 per day for each large package left after three days.

  • Can I leave items for my customers to pick up at your office?

    Yes! We have many customers who use our office reception as a mediator to leave items for their clients to pickup. We charge a small administrative fee for this service.

  • Are you a commercial agent for the US Postal Service?

    Yes we are a Legal USPS Federal Commercial Registered Agent.

  • Can I use your professional address to register my LLC?

    We do sell an LLC registered agent service on top of the virtual mail package for a nominal fee. This package is ONLY for the Secretary of State site and does not include use of our address for other purposes.

  • What is the cancellation policy?

    We require a one-month written (email) notice to cancel services.

  • What happens when I cancel my service?

    Your mail will not be forwarded. You can pay a low fee to have us hold it until all critical business interactions have your updated address. If not, the mail is returned.

  • What’s the difference between an answering service and a virtual telephone receptionist?

    Answering services are often impersonal and state “I’m just an answering service.” They are not perceived as a member of your business. At Office Alternatives, our receptionists present themselves as an extended member of your team.

  • What can my receptionist do?

    Office Alternatives’ receptionists answer your company’s calls with the desire to delight and wow your clients. They can answer the calls within 4 rings, connect calls to you and your staff as directed (Cell, Voicemail, Another number), take messages, screen your calls, return calls on your behalf, answer some common questions your company gets, and take messages to email or text you.

  • What number do you use? How does it work?

    You can forward your company phone number to Office Alternatives (usually*87), port your number to us, or we can give you a phone number for a low price

  • How long does it take to get setup?

    Once setup, we start answering calls within hours for your business and handling the calls as directed. Setup is usually within 2 business days.

  • Is there a contract?

    No, our services are month to month with a one month cancellation notice

  • How do you answer the calls if you’re virtual?

    Typically, the call is answered by a virtual receptionist with a greeting you choose or a standard greeting. The receptionist asks for the caller’s name and reason or calling. The receptionist contacts you or your team members as directed. You will know it’s one one of your OA answered calls by seeing our name as the caller ID. You can then screen the call and ask the receptionist to redirect it to another team member, your voicemail, take a message etc. If accepting the call, the call is transferred immediately. If you decline the call, the receptionist handles as you direct.

  • How do you know if I am available to take calls?

    You can update your status daily even hourly by calling us or emailing us any time during the work day or keep a standing set of instructions on file with us

  • Does Voicemail come with this service?

    Yes, we can assign you your own VM box and even email you the file to play as an audio wav. file.

  • What if I have two businesses? Can they share the service?

    Yes as long as your greeting can remain simple enough to state and your calls easy to handle.

  • Do you handle NON-New Mexico businesses?

    We can answer 8-5 Monday - Friday in Mountain time. We can provide a non-NM phone number but we cannot change our answering hours.

  • How many people can the training room hold?

    Great question. The room can hold up to 35 theater style chairs beside each other without tables. Depending on the configuration needed with tables, we accommodate up to 25 comfortably with space.

  • Can you accommodate catering for my event?

    Yes, we offer private coffee and tea service, snack packs and can arrange boxed lunches for your event.

  • Can you accommodate off-hours such as early morning, evenings, or weekends?

    Yes, with pre-arrangement and an extra service charge, we can make arrangements off-hours.

  • Do both locations have a coworking space?

    Yes, we have a small cafe at the West side with 4 desks and we have a large space at the Lang location. Day passes are available.

  • Is there a fee for using the coworking space?

    It depends. Discuss with the Site manager what is available to you today.

  • Can I access the coworking space 24/7.

    Depending on your business need, we have made specialized passes that authorize access of the space during off hours. Discuss with the Site manager at that location.

  • Do you have food and drinks at the Coworking lounge?

    We have coffee and filtered water free of charge.

  • How much does it cost to rent a conference room?

    Office Alternatives has day offices and small conference rooms for as little as $15 per hour for members. We also have medium and large board rooms and a training room.

  • How do I reserve an hourly space?

    As a member, you may call us, email us or reserve using the Member Portal from our website. If you’re not a member, you may call or email us directly and we will gladly book your space for you.

  • Can I rent hourly space long-term such as a full week or month?

    Yes, we have clients who need the space for a week to four weeks at a time and have rented our hourly space. Contact us today to discuss your needs

  • Do you have projectors or flat panel screens?

    Both locations have projectors and some of our hourly rooms have flat panels to plug directly into.

  • What is your cleanliness procedure between rentals?

    All of our rooms are sanitized with commercial sanitizer between renters.

  • Can you accommodate off-hours such as early morning, evenings, or weekends?

    Yes, with pre-arrangement and an extra service charge, we can make arrangements off-hours.
