With a bit of professional dress and presenting a framework for what you intend to accomplish, if not a full plan to build off of such as your property search criteria and your long term goals, even a newer Realtor who is still learning, or a less than professional agent will be more likely to succeed and stick around because you have set and can manage their expectations from that point moving forward.  

@Aaron XieA knowledgable commercial broker in the market is essential - particularly if you are remote.Commercial leases do not have as rigid/complete overarching legislation framework to which they are subservient as is the case with residential tenants ... the contract is pretty much everything can be far more involved.

I know they're pushed out until the end of October, so not sure if that time frame works for you, but Malachi has been great.

Can't say I'm a fan and see this as frame work for rent control which is likely next.     

That said, this basic framework should be viewed as a starting point and does not purport to account for unique factors and circumstances that may exist in certain cases.
