On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club podcast, hosts Jenn Murtland and Monica Weakley are locking antlers on the topic - What do you do when your buyer wants to see a commercial property, and you are not a commercial agent? During the second half, Todd Schroth, an EXP agent, joins in to answer the tie-breaker question.

Episode Highlights:

  • Not jeopardizing the client relation, she hand-holds her clients and stays with them when referring them to an agent. 
  • Monica points out the different types of commercial listings and talks about how some commercial listings are similar to a residential purchase process.
  • Jean and Monica discuss the importance of knowing critical nuances of an area that a realtor is handling.
  • Todd Schroth was asked the tie-breaker question, "If your client wants to see a commercial property or something out of your wheelhouse, what do you do in such a situation?"
  • Todd points out that when it comes to commercial real estate, the first step of any successful commercial real estate’s career is learning about the types of sectors.
