Hi Michael:
It's always best to use a true commercial real estate agent when dealing with commercial properties.
These dealings are so different...
Hi Paul: Although I started out in residential real estate, I wouldn't touch a residential transaction now. I refer them to the experts. Thanks.
Hi Toula: I agree, just as residential short sale transactions, commercial transactions can also be complicated. Thanks.
Michael, it's always best to refer clients to unknown territory...which for me would be commercial real estate. :)
Leilani
Leilani: I agree. A referral is better than the headache. Thanks for the visit.
Michael I learned early in my career to leave commercial real estate to specialists Karen
Michael-I've had two nice referral checks this year from sending commerical business to an expert in the field.
Karen: Like residential, commercial real estate is a specialty in itself. Thanks for stopping by.
Cindy: Not bad for just turning over a name to someone. Thanks for the visit.
Michael, I promote the use of a commercial Realtor®, I have worked in that market and now proudly refer to the experience of someone that is a specialist...
Life is best, when experienced, first hand,
Paul
Paul: That's the exact reason why I don't do residential real anymore. Thanks.
Silvia: that's a very good analogy for commercial real estate. I will remember this one. Thanks for stopping by.
In my office, Century 21 New Millennium, we have a commercial properties department, the NM Commercial.
Gabriela: having a separate department is a good ideal. Thank you for the visit.
Good Advice, Michael, I've focused on residential and investment properties and would refer any commercial listings to an agent with the experience to handle them.
Debbie: I've found it is best to focus on a specific specialty. Thanks for stopping by.
