Top 3 Skills to Look for When Choosing a Commercial Broker

It's time to list your commercial property. Easy, right? 

A commercial transaction can be a seamless endeavor, but the key is finding the right broker to make it so. Listing an office, retail or industrial property isn't the same as selling a house so this isn't the time to take your chances on that friend of a friend who sells residential real estate. This is the time to be proactive and thorough in your search for an agent who has experience in the industry and an understanding of the market to ensure you get the best possible offer for your property. We’ve pulled together three distinct skills to look for when acquiring that standout agent who will exceed your expectations.  

Skill #1 Commitment 

First and foremost, you need commitment. The commercial process is intricate, and can get complicated quickly, making it imperative to find an agent specializing in commercial properties as they will understand the ins and outs of the process from start to finish.  

Commercial transactions also require experience and knowledge beyond that of the residential arena so it's vital you have an experienced agent who knows the difference and can be there to guide and support you every step of the way. 

Skill #2 Integrity

Finding an agency with integrity is a must; the stakes are too high for false promises and shortcomings. Having an honest and ethical liaison standing in your corner will help manage expectations at every turn. Agents who value integrity will give honest feedback regarding property value and the current market climate, vital components when it comes time to make big decisions.

Skill #3 Excellence

Agents who value excellence will stop at nothing to deliver the best results; not to seek accomplishment, but as a never ending process. Subsequently, they will work tirelessly utilizing their experience, doing their due diligence and consistently working in your best interest. The results of those efforts are often unmatched. 

When it comes to finding an agent for your commercial property, know what to look for and do your homework. The best agents aren't in this business to get the job done quickly. They are in this business to help their clients get the best results. The stakes are too high to settle on mediocrity and inexperience, you need exceptional.
