Do I need a real estate agent for commercial deal?

Vincent Dang

Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase my first commercial real estate property.  I have found a few deals online with current tenant paying rents for the property.

Should I contact the listing agent and have him do the deal on my behalf?

Or should I get my own buyer agent to facilitate this deal?

If I do need a buyer agent, where do I go about to find a trust worthy agent in my area that don't give the deals to some of his other clients?


Thanks.

An agent can bring a level of expertise that you may not have. As an example, I would never buy a large project without help. I don't know enough about them generally. I buy SFR all day long..but those are easy! When you talk about getting on the hook for hundreds of thousands, etc...that takes a LOT more experience and guidance.
