What is the best way to find the right warehouse/office?
I can google it and just end up on the sites that hit the top of the results, but I would rather ask those with experience what their advice is.  Are there certain types of commercial real estate agents are better than others?  Are there common scams to look out for while searching?  What are the best sites that I can search on my own?

I am in Central Florida area.  I appreciate the guicance!

Brokers pay is based off a completed deal and the check is written from the landlord so you typically don\u2019t have to carry the expense of hiring them (it\u2019s built into the market rent). The type of broker really depends on the quality of asset you\u2019re looking for. The larger companies like Cushman, CBRE, JLL, Newmark etc all have teams that focus on tenant rep and will happily take on a new client if if your requirement is worthwhile that is. That being said, If you\u2019re looking for something tiny  for a  month to month deal, you\u2019re better off just looking up properties yourself on loopnet, Craigslist etc.", "replies": [{"id": "huem1vx", "text": "13000-18000 sqft, multi-year", "replies": [{"id": "huemd00", "text": "In that case I would definitely use a broker.

This isn't a malicious comment, just a reality of people responding to incentives.\n\nYou will get the most transparency on the front end of your interactions with brokers, so I'd shop a couple of them. Ask what they charge, even though you aren't paying but the landlord is, you want their fees to be market as you want the landlords to want to work with them/you. Talk about what you need, and ask what are market rates, tenant improvement packages that are currently being offered, and ask yourself what you want. What are must haves for the warehouse, office, and what are you willing to live without to have a lower rate. Landlords will work with your needs in exchange for longer lease term, and you will likely want the shortest lease term possible. Keep your eyes open regarding what you are signing and who is on the hook if things go south.\n\nGood luck!", "replies": [{"id": "hufoc7d", "text": "Super helpful.
