Finding an agent

FINDING THE ‘RIGHT’ COMMERCIAL AGENT

A good real estate agent with strong local knowledge and proven results is in the best position to give you a realistic appraisal of the market value for your commercial property. They’ll know what’s been selling, what current buyers are looking for and what factors are influencing the commercial property market. But more importantly, they’ll understand how to market your property so it attracts the right buyer.

WHAT ARE 5 QUESTIONS TO ASK A COMMERCIAL AGENT?

Don’t be afraid to ask an agent about anything and everything that comes to mind. Some good questions to get you started might be:

  1. What’s happening in the commercial property market and how will this affect my property’s value?
  2. Can you show me examples of similar properties you’ve sold in the area?
  3. What kind of marketing strategy will you develop for my commercial property?
  4. Can you outline your commission structure?
  5. Who will I be dealing with during the selling process and will they be available when I need help?
