Where do you advertise commercial space available?
I have 1500 extra s.f. of storefront space that I would like to rent out. Where would I go to advertise this? Do most people find their retail space by driving around? Or should I use a real estate agent? And if so, what's the best way to find someone who does commercial?

I agree with Loopnet, but depending on the type of commercial space it will only attract more sophisticated people who browse loopnet, which obviously a lot of commercial tenants do but depends on what type of tenant the space can attract. You can\u2019t go wrong with also putting it on Craigslist and FB marketplace also. Also a for rent sign won\u2019t hurt, you could hire a broker but if only if you\u2019re paying the broker, if the tenant has to compensate than it will prohibit a lot of potential tenants for your space.", "replies": [{"id": "fvrznhv", "text": "Thanks for this answer.
