Listing broker completely unresponsive. Possible to pursue a lease on this property through another broker?
I know virtually nothing about real estate so please bear with me. I'm looking to lease a small commercial space for a startup business. I've found several locations that I'm interested in and every broker except one has been very accommodating and communicative to me. I've looked at several properties and all of my ducks are in a row.

Except, the two properties that I'm *most* interested in are listed by the same broker who is seemingly going out of his way to avoid me. It took three emails and two phone calls before he would call me back on the initial contact. After that phone call — which went well, IMO — he told me he would call me back the following morning to arrange a meeting. That call never happened, nor have I heard from him since. Several emails and phone calls over the past three days and the guy's a complete ghost. He is, according to the internet, a private broker; there isn't another person in his office that I can talk to.

Is it possible to somehow gain access to this property through a different broker?

I did a property ownership search on one of those two properties (the one I'm *really* most interested in) and it comes up with a generic-sounding owner's name — whose business address is the same address as the property itself, which is and has been vacant for the past few months. So that's confusing. I'm also unable to find any other contact information — alternate address, email, or telephone number — for this registered owner either.
