Commercial Real Estate Brokers

If you’re looking to lease commercial property, chances are you’re also looking to hire experienced commercial real estate brokers as well. Luckily, good commercial real estate brokers can often be found in the same locations as your favorite residential agent. Of course, there are also other avenues for locating the perfect broker to help you lease you dream commercial property.

Where to Find Commercial Real Estate Brokers

Most large and readily recognizable residential real estate agents are also certified and experienced as commercial brokers or consultants. The advantage of exploring your options at a real estate agency is that you may already be familiar with the brokers from a residential purchase. These individuals are generally full-time agents who deal with nothing but property, so you can be sure of their experience. The drawback to using these high-profile agencies is that they may lack the discretion of commercial business brokers, since they may have more residential than commercial experience. You can check a broker’s credentials with the IBBA.

Ask your friends and other business owners if they can recommend a good commercial real estate consultant or broker. Generally, you can get honest answers from word-of-mouth recommendations, so you’ll know who to avoid and who to seek out when you enter into a lease.
