I keep the applications at the rental property and those interested can take them home to fill them out (folks rarely bring their income statements with them and these are required to complete the application).Typically those that tell me "we have several more houses to view" are telling me (politely) they aren't interested in my rental.I don't hold my breath for those who take an application and say they'll be getting back to me "soon".I take a book to read while I wait (I'm currently reading Evictions) and to pass the time for the no shows. 

@Bill Gulley through the coffee breath and sarcasm.... :) I hear you loud and clear.

Make sure you speak with a specialist who lives and breathes "office space" and who truly understand the unique aspects of office leasing, rentable vs usable sq ft (some don't), optimizing operating expense recapture, and tenant retain-age.

@Mike Hurney hmmmm...I can tell ya I'm not holding my breath for Quincy. 

The dust is not good to breathe in.Drywall can be cut with the snap and score method using a utility knife and straight edge.

Unless you live and breathe Real Estate every day, for years and years, your interpretation of the data, and your knowledge of all the hundreds of little tips, tricks, ans shortcuts which accumulate over the year, simply cannot compare to a full time Broker who embraces his calling in Real Estate.

Take a deep breath, it's going to take years for you to break free.

Is it more important to have someone local or someone who lives and breathes the real estate industry?

I know you don't want to lose the rest of May's rent, but if you don't get this relationship under control right now, this behavior is just going to continue.Take a deep breath.
