Ways to decline but not offend commercial brokers

[Charlotte Dunford]

Hi all. Any ideas on how you can decline a deal after underwriting it without offending the commercial broker who's worked with you and provided you documentation?

@Chris Tracy provided solid advice. Use it as a way to strengthen your relationship with the broker. If you just ask a bunch of questions and never respond to their replies, that's fine and may or may not negatively affect the relationship. But if you provide feedback on specifically why you are passing on the deal, you are perceived as more credible in the eyes of the broker and they will have a better understanding about what you are looking for.
