property buyer’s agent?
Follow this step-by-step guide to purchasing your commercial property with the help of a buyer’s agent.
Why you should enlist the help of a property buyer’s agent
If you are an inexperienced investor looking to get into commercial property investing, you might be asking yourself “Where do I start?” and “What do I need to consider before closing a deal?”
To ensure that you don’t make the same mistakes that many beginner investors make, getting the help of an experienced buyer’s agent would be a wise decision. These experts can help you navigate the challenges of commercial real estate investing.
That said, there are many commercial property buyer’s agents out there. How can you find the right one that fits your long-term investment goals?Step-by-step guide to choosing the right buyer’s agent
1. Define your investment objectives
Your first step towards identifying the right buyer’s agent would be to know what your long-term investment objectives are. Do you already have a set budget as well as preferences when it comes to the type of commercial property, location preferences, and other specific requirements? Planning what you want will be instrumental in helping you find an agent with relevant expertise.
2. Conduct extensive research on potential agents available
Browse for buyer’s agents in your locality or location preference. You can browse real estate agency websites, online property listings, and real estate directories. You can ask for recommendations from trusted sources who have invested in commercial properties. You can also read online reviews and testimonials from past or present customers of commercial buyer’s agencies.
3. Review their credibility, qualifications and track-record
Investors should never purchase a commercial property based solely on first impressions. A comprehensive inspection and assessment of a property should be conducted, taking into account its physical condition, financial aspects, and lease agreements. If you’re having difficulty inspecting a property, consider reaching out to a professional inspector or real estate attorney.
4. Interview and hire
Once you have narrowed down your selection of potential buyer’s agents to hire, you can begin your interview process with them. Ask critical questions such as their tenure, years of experience, scenario-based questions, strategies for finding the right commercial property and knowledge of the real estate market. Hire the buyer’s agent that best satisfies your investment objectives.
