Common Mistakes for Real Esate Agents
Here at Commercial Brokers International (CBI), we have a mantra that our agents are constantly reminded of every day. It is ABC – “Always Be Closing.” However, this saying works only in theory. In reality, this is not always happening for two reasons.

Finding Tenants Who Will Make Good on a Commercial Lease
Finding quality tenants for Commercial Real Estate is a bit different than Residential. You can have a very responsible individual with high net worth sign the lease, but still have problems in the future. Why is this the case? Well realistically their net worth is meaningless unless they own enormous amounts of capital and by that time they might as well purchase a property of their own. Instead of looking at their current value, you must be able to monitor their income and also project for the future where that income will be. Property owners need to think outside of the box with this.
