Top Answers from Commercial Real Estate Brokers
1. Finding properties for my clients
No doubt a challenge for most buy-side brokers in today’s market. 1031 exchanges and exposing them to properties outside the local market is the first step. I would argue a first step would be not to represent uncontrollable buyers but instead pursue exclusive listings.
2. Converting prospects to clients
This is always a challenge in any business, but the key to the conversion is knowing what this particular prospect is dealing with and trying to solve.
3. Finding enough hours in the day
This is not an issue of time management, but more of calendar segmentation and delegation.
4. Getting my listings sold
Saleable listings are positioned correctly. Prices are in line with the ever-changing market and marketing throughout all available channels, including brokerage cooperation.
5. Filling my pipeline for the future
Remember the 3 keys to the commercial real estate brokerage continuum – Find, Win, Fulfill. Every day you must be completing each of these three steps, or you risk your pipeline drying up quickly.
