CHOOSE THE RIGHT ADVISOR
Selecting an inexperienced commercial real estate broker for your space search can lead to misguided advice. Some brokers may present spaces that don't align with your specific requirements, showcasing properties that are unqualified or the wrong size, ultimately consuming your valuable time. Additionally, they may lack knowledge of the marketplace, leaving both the broker and tenant vulnerable to the landlord's advantage.
Hiring a broker who struggles to identify the right space and guides you to inappropriate locations distanced from your ideal customer base isn’t the right approach. It's especially detrimental if you choose an ill-suited site because of terrible guidance. You don’t want to backtrack and fix a mistake due to improper planning
Don't be the company that regrets and resents its space. Ensure your owners and employees are happy with their daily commutes.

Having once navigated the challenges as the Director of Real Estate for a Chicagoland not-for-profit, I understand the complexities of aiding the facilities team in finding new spaces. The struggle was real – we were directed to secure space without a clear vision or framework, leading to unproductive efforts exploring locations that didn't align with our needs. The disconnect with the operations team further compounded the challenge.
My perspective changed when introduced to a consultant who guided me through the entire process. We strategically assessed the new site's function, calculated the cost per person per month for occupancy, and evaluated whether program operation revenues justified the rent. This invaluable experience reshaped my approach to real estate, differentiating me from the average commercial broker.
