Are you in search of a commercial estate agent but not quite sure where to begin? You're not alone. A lot of people begin their quest for a reliable commercial estate agent in the same boat. Considering how much time, energy and money you are likely to invest in your new property - whether it's a permanent home for your business or an investment property - it's crucial that you pick the right agent. In this post, the team at Allen Heritage will answer the question "How to choose a commercial estate agent."
Here are some of the most important qualities you want in your next commercial estate agent:
You will want your commercial estate agent to be a one-stop shop for everything you need related to your commercial property search. You don't want to have to rely on multiple sources for various pieces of information because that can become very confusing and very fast. The only way a commercial estate agent develops broad expertise is through extensive experience.
The commercial estate agent should not be sitting there staring into the unknown while you're talking. They should be focused on you and what you have to say. In other words, they should know how to listen. Only by listening to what you have to say will the commercial estate agent deliver for you. Simple right? Well, you'd be surprised by how many agents simply wait for your mouth to stop moving so they can push their latest listing on you. Then again, maybe you wouldn't.
It's important your commercial estate agent has a solid reputation. So how can you tell? Well, commercial estate agents who have been around for decades didn't last that long by scamming customers. So, look for longevity. You can also conduct an internet search on the business and see if anything untoward pops up. And, of course, you can (and probably should) ask for references and follow through by checking them.
