Commercial Real Estate

Who's Representing You?

Posted by Kevin Endres - Apr 15, 2009

Are you looking to buy a commercial building for your business? Perhaps you need to lease new office space. When you call the phone number on a Realtor’s “For Sale” sign outside of property you are interested in, the Realtor on the other end of line has one interest in mind, the Sellers! How would you like to have someone fully representing your best interests in this transaction, and at no cost to you!

When you enlist the services of a Commercial Buyer Representative, you’ll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests. You will be working with someone who will go the extra mile in determining what is best for you and your business.

When working with a Commercial Buyer Representative you will be working with someone who will:

Understand your specific needs and wants, and locate appropriate properties.
Assist you in determining how much you can afford by helping review your business financials
Preview and/or accompany you in viewing properties.
Research properties, to identify any problems or issues you should consider.
Advise you in formulating your offer.
Help you develop your negotiation strategy.
Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (such as inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc.) for other related services that may be needed.
Keep track of all the details throughout the entire transaction—to closing and beyond.

It doesn’t matter what kind of business you operate, the real estate decisions you make should align with your business goals. Do yourself a favor and work with a real estate broker that will look out for you and your business interests.
