What is the best way to select a broker?

There is no one best way to select a broker, but there are several things to avoid:

• Don’t choose a broker without first checking client references.
• Understand what properties, if any, a broker has listed that could create a potential conflict of interest.
• If a conflict does come up, how is your broker prepared to handle it?
• If you haven’t hired a broker, only let a broker show you spaces that they have listed.
• Don’t hire a broker if you are unsure about moving.
