Need Help finding industrial space throughout the US
I have an upcoming work project, looking for industrial warehouse space throughout the US? This project will be 6months of hard work, and I need some real estate help, as this is not my core competency. My typical day job is in Logistics. What should I do to get this done, reach out to brokers?

If this is not your field of expertise partner with a legit commercial broker, work out a commission agreement that is beneficial to both parties. If your project is as big there will be many companies that will want to work with you. Find that key person to screen the offerings, someone who can supply the knowledge and connections you lack. You don't say whether you want to lease or buy? Or a combination. Both are viable options but the commission structure and opportunity for appreciation are very different. This is a field where it's mostly done on an insider basis, so first step is to  find an insider you can't trust.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "foot7zb", "text": "I'm a commercial broker who specializes in industrial real estate at the global leader in industrial real estate brokerage. I'm based on the west coast but we have a network of offices in every major and most secondary markets throughout North America. \n\nTypically with a project of this nature you would hire a brokerage firm with offices in all your desired markets then work through a single point of contact who would manage the process and deliver uniform services across the country. \n\nThis not only stream lines the process by saving you the efforts of interviewing, hiring and then educating a new broker in each market about your business and needs, but we typically also offer a broader spectrum of services to multi-market clients which you often times see referred to as \"Portfolio Management\"; these expanded services functionally operate as an outsourced \"Director of Real Estate\". Additionally, in the US commercial real estate commissions are paid by the Landlord (or Seller if a sale) 95% of the time, so you receive the benefits of these expanded services for no money out of pocket.\n\nAs mentioned I am an industrial broker at market leader, if you would like to discuss this in further detail please feel free to DM me and we can connect outside of this forum. I'd love to learn more about your business.\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\nThanks and good luck!", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fopqgcz", "text": "Dm me if you\u2019re looking DC/MD/VA can connect you with some good brokers", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "for5arb", "text": "We are commercial real estate brokers in the Boston area.

One thing I\u2019d say re brokers is that you have to remember that for some (not all!!) brokers their relationships with the LLs and developers are going to be more long lasting and important to them than their relationship with you. \n\nThis is ok!! That\u2019s why you want to work with them. They have this expertise and these connections and you don\u2019t. \n\nBut you also need to get your shit together and know what you want. Do your research. Ask lots of questions. Don\u2019t be afraid of sounding stupid. A lot of RE things are very market dependent so you can play that card a lot (eg I\u2019m a newb to this market not a newb to RE).", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fp2rnod", "text": "Have you made any decisions? I have a heavy industrial commercial building to rent in lake county ohio.

Was considering the quarterly -$118 a mo x3  but changed my mind when found out about the need to cancel. Not what I want, a need to remember something (to phone in to cancel)  or else, bingo, signed into another 3 mo period. \n\nAnyone else have any ideas for me?", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
