Commercial real estate brokerage – why is it worth using?

Contents

In today's rapidly evolving world of logistics and warehousing, finding suitable warehouse space is becoming increasingly complex. The growing number of companies seeking optimal storage solutions makes the market more intricate and competitive. In such an environment, many business owners face a dilemma: is it worth using brokerage services for leasing warehouse space, or is it better to search for the right place independently?

It is worth noting from the outset that consulting in the selection of warehouse space offers numerous benefits that can significantly simplify the process, increase operational efficiency, and optimize costs. In this article, we will explore why it is worth considering collaboration with professionals, the benefits of such a decision, and what aspects should be considered when choosing the right advisory firm. I invite you to read on to learn more about how professional brokerage services can contribute to the success of your business.

Why is it worth using advisory services for renting warehouse property?

First and foremost, professional advisors possess in-depth knowledge of the warehouse market and have access to a wide range of offers, many of which are not publicly available. With their experience and understanding of local realities and trends, they can quickly identify and propose solutions that are optimally tailored to the often specific needs of the client. This saves time and resources that the client can devote to growing their business.

Another advantage of using advisory services is the ability to negotiate more favorable rental terms for companies. This can lead to better rates and more flexible contract conditions, which can significantly reduce operational costs. Additionally, advisors act as mediators between the landlord and the tenant, helping to resolve any uncertainties quickly and ensuring smooth cooperation.

Advisors also support clients throughout the entire leasing process, assisting with the formalities related to renting warehouse space, which significantly simplifies the process and minimizes the risk of making mistakes.

So what does the process of brokerage in selecting warehouse space look like?

The first and most important step is to thoroughly understand the client’s needs. As advisors, we conduct a detailed analysis to determine the criteria that the potential warehouse space must meet. Next, among the available market offers, we present the client with the most suitable options. During the property search, we evaluate the technical condition of the facility, analyze the infrastructure in terms of employee accessibility, and verify all legal and technical requirements. Thanks to years of experience, we can identify potential problems early in the leasing process and address them proactively.

One of the key tasks is negotiating the lease terms together with the client. Professional advisors have negotiation skills that enable them to secure more favorable conditions for the client. This may include lowering the rental price, offering more flexible contract terms, and additional benefits such as rent-free periods for space adaptation or renovations at the landlord's expense.

In the context of legal and administrative formalities, as advisors, we also support the client throughout the entire process. From reviewing lease agreements, moving on to negotiations, and with the help of our legal department, we monitor regulations and the entire contract signing process. This minimizes the risk of costly mistakes and provides reassurance that the process is proceeding according to plan and in the client’s best interest.

It’s important to note that the collaboration during the lease agreement finalization doesn’t end at the signing stage. Professional advisory firms offer long-term support, helping to resolve any issues that may arise during the lease term. They can also advise on matters related to contract extensions, renegotiating terms, or finding new warehouse solutions if the client’s needs change.

Choosing the right advisory company – what to Consider?

Selecting the right firm is crucial to ensuring success in leasing warehouse space. Before making a decision, it’s important to consider several key factors:

1. Experience and specialization: Choose a company with a proven track record in the commercial real estate market, particularly in the logistics warehouse sector.

2. Reviews and references: Check reviews from other clients/companies and seek out references to ensure the agency has a strong reputation.

3. Range of services: Make sure the advisory firm offers comprehensive services, covering all stages of the leasing process, from the search to long-term support.

4. Local Market Knowledge: It’s beneficial if the firm has regional branches, providing them with insight into the local market and in-depth knowledge of the area.
