3) Have representation: Here comes the shameless plug

A good broker is worth every penny that your current or future landlord will pay him or her

A good broker:

· Knows the market

· Knows the rates

· Knows the spaces

· Knows the other brokers

· Knows the owners, landlords, and property managers

· Knows what a good deal looks like given the current market conditions

· Takes a complicated process and makes it look relatively easy

· Always negotiates with your best interest in mind

· Saves you time

· Saves you money

· Reads all of the documents word-for-word (you would be amazed at what is overlooked because people simply don’t read the documents. As my sales manager always tells me, “If you want to be an expert, simply read the document”)
