I guess I have to figure out if these spaces can even be brought up to code, which is not my expertise.

Hoping someone can provide their expertise.1.

You find others who don't have that expertise get burned in the same market.

That said, just as a broker doesn't want to waste time on a client that's going to shop them the entire way, a savvy buyer shouldn't make a commitment to a broker who lacks responsiveness/expertise/ fiduciary responsibility.To further state the obvious, in small/midsize markets, there are only so many commercial brokers that are active/competent in the space so if you go around shopping them and in the process pissing them off, you might find it hard to break into a given market after you've exhausted your relationships.

I'm doing a deal in Morris County, NJ and am having trouble finding a lawyer who has this expertise.
