Whether you’re starting a new business, moving to a new location, or expanding your existing business, you’ll likely have to dive into the world of commercial real estate. Commercial real estate is a broad term that encompasses everything that isn’t a single-family home. This includes office, retail, industrial, and multi-family spaces such as apartment complexes.Â
However, commercial space is more than just the building your business resides in. It also plays a key role in expressing who you are as a company. Finding the right space and the right location is critical to your company’s success. That’s where a commercial real estate agent comes in.
Why Work with an Agent?
A Helping Hand
Starting a business or transitioning to a new space can be stressful. Having an agent to represent you takes some of the responsibility off your shoulders and allows you to focus on your business. An agent can also ensure you’re asking the right questions, helping you make an informed decision.
Interpret the Lingo
What is a triple net lease? What does CAM stand for? What’s the difference between rentable and usable square feet? And what does a ‘Class B’ rating on an office mean? An agent can help you understand this lingo, saving you from frantically Googling terms or getting lost in the weeds.
Answering Key Questions
What location is best? Does the zoning code permit your intended use? Should you sublease any extra space? How negotiable is the price? From the finances to the legal requirements, commercial real estate can be a tricky world to navigate. An agent has the knowledge to answer these questions and help you decide what is best for you and the future of your company.
The Future
Establishing a relationship with a real estate agent could also be beneficial for your company down the road. If your business is expanding and you know you’ll need to upgrade to a larger space in the future, having a REALTOR® who is already familiar with your company and your growth plan can help make that transition go smoothly.
