If you are a business owner looking to get an office space, you need to read this. It could be that your search for an agent landed you here, and that’s great because today, you will find out what you need to look for in a commercial real estate broker.
Here are important questions you need to ask potential brokers you are considering to hire.
1.How many years have you been a broker in the commercial real estate industry?
2.Do you have any specialisations?
3.What would you consider to be the “defining deal” of your career?
4.What advantage do you have over other commercial real estate brokers?
5.Can you describe the neighbourhoods you represent?
Apart from these, you must also ask if the broker has an updated license because they are required to have that if they are practising. Since you will be forging a business partnership with this individual, you need to make sure you ask all the important questions to ensure you will have a good working relationship from beginning to end.
A good broker also needs to be aware of the current trends in the market. Ask about the latest news and updates to check the person’s knowledge and diligence in keeping up with what’s happening in the industry.
If you follow these tips (and your gut instincts, of course) you should not encounter many issues not only in seeking out the best commercial property broker, but in your search for the most suitable office for your business as well.
