Investors and owner/users need to really know the market before making a move in commercial investment properties as the market has a lot of moving parts today. What’s going on socio-economically, what’s going on demographically, what’s going on with location, with competing businesses, with public policy in general — all of these things affect the quality of your commercial properties/investment properties.  Therefore, you need a broker who understands commercial properties.  Please go to my web-site and get all the newsflashes and updates in Commercial Real Estate.
