What is a Leasing Agent?

[lumia007]

A prospective commercial tenant should ask the leasing agent what the total rent is for utilities as well as if there are any other fees. The prospective tenant should consider details such as air conditioning, noise level, zoning regulations, and availability of parking. Room for company growth should be considered to be sure the space will be large enough so the company will not be forced to move again too soon.

A leasing agent, or commercial leasing agent, works for the landlords of shopping centers or office buildings to find tenants. A leasing agent earns a commission for finding tenants and usually handles all aspects of leases. Excellent negotiating skills and the ability to recognize a qualified tenant are crucial characteristics of a good leasing agent.
