Showings on Out of Area Commercial Properties

[Dustin Smith]

I have my team in my home area, but I travel a lot around the region and come across a lot of interesting deals. Obviously I want to get information on the property to decide if it's worth pursuing, and ideally I'd like to at least get a quick walk-through of anything vacant, but many of these deals are an hour or more from my home area. I've searched to find an answer, but I can't seem to find anything. Is it wrong for me to call the listing agent and get the info and maybe a quick walk-through?  Is there a better way to handle it?  I don't want to have to talk through a middle man just to get information. Id be interested to hear thoughts regarding residential property as well.  Thoughts are appreciated!
