Steve that was not a commercial broker to me that you had before.A leasing broker should be a leasing broker period.A sales negotiator should do the purchase and sale.There are brokers that do both but people at the height of their game only do one thing for the most part.You can have a generalist that does 2 things or have 2 specialists working for you that do separate things.The broker wanted the sale to make a big commission so was scaring tenants away.No tenant will want to make an investment into a space knowing they will be moving right away.You can have language in your leases allowing you the right to terminate early but not giving away you are selling for development.Ultimately after the lease is signed they will find out in the newspaper etc. when word of the project comes up.Your previous broker was not doing their fiduciary duty to put you first as a client.
