Frequently asked questions
-
How much does it cost for me to hire a broker?
It’s typically NO CHARGE to you. When leasing, the landlord pays the commission so it doesn’t cost the tenant anything. When buying a commercial property, the seller pays the commission to the brokers.
-
Can I look for a property on my own or do I need a broker?
Of course you can look on your own. The main advantage of working with a qualified broker is that they can save you time and money by giving you access to the full market, including off-market opportunities you won’t see online.
-
When should I look for a space to lease or buy?
Timing a transaction is based on the need to relocate from your current location. I recommend 6 months prior to lease expiry. You want to have the most options and the most amount of time to make a decision.
-
What is my first step if I'm interested?
I begin with an initial consultation to understand your needs and goals. Then we sign a representation agreement to show our commitment to each other. I’ll send you a few listings after that initial conversation.
-
What should I budget for besides rent?
In addition to base rent, you’ll need to budget for TMI (taxes, maintenance, insurance), utilities, and any tenant improvements to customize the space for your operations. I’ll break down all costs upfront so there are no surprises.
-
How long does it usually take to find industrial space?
It depends on your requirements, but most industrial tenants in the GTA can expect the process to take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Starting early gives you the best chance to secure the right property at the right terms.
