Did you know its easier to end a marriage than it is to terminate a lease with a landlord. So whether you are looking to open your first restaurant / coffee shop or negotiating a lease renewal get it right!
Tip #1 - The Agent is there to make the sale (or they don't get paid), not to hold your hand. Landlord's pay agents' big commissions if they can convince you to sign a lease. First time tenants often regret putting so much faith in the agent to help them. Don't let one agent show you space all over town. Even if you have your own agent negotiating against the landlord's listing agent remember both agents are splitting a commission coming out of the landlord's pocket. The listing agent doesn't want to split his commission with your agent. You're better off calling the listing agent for each property directly.
