A commercial real estate broker will qualify clients - as a prospective buyer/tenant, you should spend a bit of time to assess yourself in terms of qualifying for a real estate purchase or lease. This is one of the first things prospective landlords and sellers expect of the brokers they deal with - basically, can we complete a deal with this prospective tenant or buyer? There are many other issues - and we’ll attempt to summarize many of them here.

Nothing is more frustrating to a commercial broker than driving across town to show a listing only to realize when the buyer/tenant and his agent arrive they realize your listing does not meet the client’s requirements. The agent failed to ask simple questions in the beginning to avoid the embarrassment and wasted time.

If you are an agent representing a client looking for office or industrial space, ask them questions before starting your survey of available properties. You will save yourself and your client priceless time and stand a better chance of actually doing your job. If you are a business and choose to not use a broker, then consider taking the time to answer some basic questions before undertaking a property search.

Where?

  • What part of town does the business need to be located?
  • What sort of visibility, access, zoning and local amenities are required?

Office? 

  • Traditional high-rise multi-tenant buildings
  • Freestanding office buildings
  • Flex single story business parks
  • Access to hotels, restaurants, other amenities
  • Covered parking

Industrial? 

  • Multi-tenant or freestanding
  • Lease or purchase
  • If lease, what term
  • If purchase, what price range
  • Electrical power
  • Clear heights
  • Office requirements & parking
  • Cranes
  • Port dock access
  • Yard area
  • Dock or grade level loading
  • Rail access

When does your client require occupancy and is it reasonable given property availability?

This is a short list of criteria when determining the needs of a business looking for commercial office or industrial property. Be a professional and Qualify your client or Qualify yourself.
