Access to a Bigger, Better Market
In a city as big as Chicago, there are literally tens of thousands of places your business could call home. Active brokers make it part of their job to be in constant communication with local owners, developers and investors providing them with knowledge of both on- and off-market opportunities. They are your guide to locating the right space for you, opening up infinitely more possibilities for your business.
Realistic Views of the Space
Commercial brokers work hand-in-hand with the best real estate service providers – architects, contractors, interior designers, etc. – to provide a complete picture of space capabilities and potential costs. Can a 100-year-old converted warehouse handle a gut renovation? What are the sign requirements in a specific ward? Is it worth it to put in new windows? An experienced broker will be able to get the answers.
More Affordable Monthly Payments
Everything is negotiable (from tenant improvements to rent credits and even access to first-class amenities) if you know the right way to ask. A CRE professional tuned into the local market will know the moves to ensure you are getting the most out of your monthly payments.
A Better Understanding of Your Contract
As a business owner, it’s imperative that you have a thorough understanding of a document before you sign it — how can you be expected to comprehend the industry specific terms and legalese that fill a commercial lease? Chicago CRE brokers live and breathe this language every day, creating much-needed guides in these complicated transactions. In fact, Tenant Advisory Group negotiates around 40 transactions per year, working with approximately four to six different properties for each deal!
Support Beyond the Lease
CRE brokers work with dozens of professionals across a variety of industries on a daily basis, carefully curating a network of trusted individuals. A close relationship with your broker can provide you access to the top attorneys, accountants, bankers, insurance brokers, financial advisors, web designers and IT companies in Chicago.
