When Commercial Property Listings are Hard to Find

When the property market goes through a few shifts and changes it influences the property owners to hold off on any decisions of sale or lease until they know just what is going on. Some agents think the same way and do little to adjust their ideas and approach to the market. All of a sudden you get no stock on market and fewer sales or listings. Everyone then says that the market is ‘dead’. The reality is the reverse; when things are tough, the clients and prospects we represent need better agents that really do know how to respond in this time of challenge.

The reality of the situation is that listings are out there and some people still need help with property challenges. It all comes down to the mindset of the agent. There are also buyers and tenants for every property on the market; you just need to focus more on getting results and you will do that by talking to the right people.

If I was selling or leasing my property today I would not want an agent to list the property who thought the market was quiet! I would want the best agent that knew what the market was doing and how to tap into the shifting enquiry and the requirements of buyers or tenants today. Can you do that?

When things are changing, the marketing of the property for sale or lease becomes much more relevant. It is not just a matter of placing a few advertisements on the internet and in the paper. The marketing of commercial and retail property listings today is much more specific and driven. That is why exclusive listings are more important than ever before. Exclusive listings are locked into an agent so they can devote much more time to the process of direct marketing and target marketing.

So the moral of the story is this; there are listings in the market today that are screaming for a good property agent to take over and drive better results. Find them and work them.
