So I chose to use a tenant broker based on your feedback - here are my results, good and bad - could use advice
In my original thread (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CommercialRealEstate/comments/5iciqb/should_i_use_a_tenant_broker/?st=IYHGPCJR&amp;sh=8b8283b5 ) I asked you all if I could bring on a tenant broker mid negotiations on a lease. I ended up doing it and overall I'm glad as I have terms negotiated that wouldn't have happened if I didn't. I do have an issue though, I have 2 days to get a lease done and the LL broker has been terrible. Looking for advice. 

UPDATE: I brought on a tenant broker and I'm glad I did but here are some issues I'd like your advice. 

I brought on my tenant broker last week in December. 

The first entire week the LL broker was MIA. We didn't even get a chance to tell him I have a tenant broker. I personally wanted to be the first to do so and it was over a week before I could get a hold of him. I left him messages etc and he was MIA for a whole week. Looking back it seems he probably was upset and taking it out by going dark. 

This guy has been terrible. We started negotiating, we send redlined LOI. LL broker OKs almost all of it. Wants price up. We agree to increased price. I sign LOI and send last week. 

LL broker doesn't respond. I follow up with my broker Monday asking where the signed copy of LOI is. He says he doesn't have it but he's been contacting LL broker and we should have it. 

Btw I have a deadline to have a signed lease by 1/31 to be in the franchise program in working on. 

Monday my LL broker does not get back to us at all. Calls - texts - emails from my broker to him, nothing. My brokers wife is also in CRE and she says the LL broker is representing a different property she is working with and he had been responding to her all day. Verification that he's being rude selectively to us. 

Tuesday he comes back, says landlord changed his mind on stuff previously agreed to in LOI!!! Vanilla box portion - unreal. We counter with additional free rent and lowered per sq ft. Now just so you're aware, based on what's been happening it is more likely broker misrepresented landlords original position than then actually going back on a previously okayed term. 

No response. I get on the phone yesterday AM and told my broker go back to original pride we agreed to. Agree to no VBox and ask for only 3 mo additional rent free and let's get this done contingent we can have a lease by Tuesday (1-31)

LL broker no response again on Friday to any email call or text. Not even to hear what we have to say. So my offer isn't even in front of LL!!! And again my tenant Rep said his wife had been communicating with LL broker all day. 

IM AT A LOSS. IM ABOUT TO CALL LL DIRECTLY. I am literally willing to take the original deal in the LOI without the VBox if I can just get this done by Tuesday. The buildout program for my franchise must have a signed lease by 1/31, no exceptions. 

What can I do? Pls any advice would help. I understand how fast this turn around is for the lease but the LL and I are agreed on terms and the plaza has vacancies. This is not a top of he line plaza, he would want my franchise in there. 

Thanks.

If your franchise won't give you a tiny bit of wiggle room here maybe you should reconsider that. You sound like you are about to sign the first piece of paper that makes it to you, which puts you in a bad spot.  \n\nAssuming you want  to take a shot at saving this,  I'd have your broker contact the other agent and tell them either this closes tomorrow or its dead and you will move on.  Request a draft lease by tomorrow morning and a conference call with you, your broker, listing broker, owner's attorney (if he is using one) and the owner.   You should have an attorney too btw, but good luck on that one given your time lines.  This is a deal it sounds like you will regret if you get it done for years to come.  Its better to wait another month or whatever and do it right ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
