Can I go around the listing Agent somehow?
So I've been pursuing a space for more than a month for our corporate office and commissary kitchen. The listing agent was responsive week 1 and while he never showed us the space personally he gave us the key box code and we have let ourselves in on several occasions. After our self tour the agent didn't respond to phone calls or email for 2 weeks. When he did he couldn't  (or wouldnt) answer any of our questions and encouraged us to put all of our concerns in an LOI so that he could discuss them with the building owner. I asked for a bit of information before I could do an LOI, he said he'd get it to me and then ignored us for another 10 days. We are getting near to NEEDING a space now so 10 days ago I wrote an LOI contingent upon verification of some info. 4 days later he responded that he was meeting with the building owner and he would let us know about things. He has ignored all attempts at contact this week. He's part of a brokerage, can I go around him somehow? 

The rent, loaction, and features of this building fit our needs, I'm loathe to move on! 

FWIW we are an established company with 4 stores, a favorite local brand, and we are cash flush. I don't know why we wouldn't be a desirable tenant, because frankly I've been the broke start up with no cash before and Realtors were still jumping to help.
[{"id": "deoyzeu", "text": "Whoa champ. There are literally 10-15 questions I have, but let me layout what I think is happening. Feel free to correct me, but here goes....You are an employee for an organization, who happened to \"find\" a space that *may* work for your company's intended purpose. You then tried to write an LOI (I'm assuming slapped one together from god knows where) and are now upset that your approach and lack of sophistication have resulted in the listing agent not returning your call. Four reasons why I can think the listing agent is avoiding you, in order of my belief-1) He doesn't think you are a serious prospect (Believe me no amount of hounding from you will make him think otherwise/it will have the opposite effect); 2) There are other more sophisticated tenants worth pursuing; 3) What you have proposed in your LOI is so outrageous that he doesn't want to take the time to correct it (see number 1); 4) He is on the outs with the owner, who is his client.\n\nIt's important to remember that the listing agent IS MOTIVATED to move the space, that is how he makes a living; however our time is valuable and we do not like to waste it-hence him giving you the lockbox code for \"self tour\".\n\nIn order to get Landlords to take you seriously, engage a broker that represents tenants and specializes in the commercial real estate asset that you seek. Otherwise you will spin your wheels.\n\nTLDR; Read the above and take it to heart.", "replies": [{"id": "dfoitls", "text": "I am experienced in this realm and agree with this assessment 98%. Well said and likely the case of what's happening. Many brokers will go dark on you if you don't seem sophisticated enough. Funny enough, I've made plenty of sales to people that most brokers would view as not sophisticated enough.

Which means I represent fitness/medical/restaurant etc ( a lot of nationals as well ). I would never ask a client to put together their own LOI to send over.\n\nIf you put together an LOI and he said that he was meeting with the owner I am assuming your LOI had some terms that seemed \"rediculous\" to the owner, which seems a bit unfair seeing that you should have received a Landlord's proposal or had a discussion with your broker to create a proposal to send to the owner.\n\nWhat is the SF of the space you put the proposal on?
