Commercial real estate: Is it better to deal with listing realtor directly?
I’ve an acquaintance who works as a Realtor. Recently, I’m looking for a commercial real estate to lease, and I found a space advertised by another realtor. Is it better for me to just deal with the listing realtor directly, or I could get my acquaintance to handle the deal for me?
WOW, am I glad i read this;
under NO NO NO circumstances should you deal with the
listing realtor. By law, the Listing realtor must be
"fair, cordial and reasonable" with you and no more. That does
not get you what you want.
if your friend has skills in Commercial, absolutely have your
friend help you…..or have your friend find a commercial buyer’s agent.
{i am not sure outside of our office if such a thing exists.]
but you need your own agent to get a fair-good deal.
ask the listing agent what fiduciary means.
