I usually start with the youngest looking, newest broker because they are still building their investor base and have more time to work with you than the well established brokers do.

a few of the younger ones do at times but many of the officers and others that are more established generally gravitate to choctaw or even moore. 

I hope some established firms can help me better navigate my processes.

Tech companies are continuously moving here and establishing a footprint in Columbus as well.

If you were to wait you might run into cooling weather and things might not have been established and you could have a palace inside but if people are driving by a wreck, there goes your first impression.

Can I add a provision to the TEC that requires the presentation of a written agreement in order for it to be binding and that, absent this proof, a month to month tenancy will be established at the disclosed rate?

Tennyson St itself serves as an outdoor mall type experience with various eating establishments and shops as well as multi-level multi-familes front and center to the action.

I am a painting contractor by trade and own a well established company.
