What do commercial real estate brokers do?

They’re an important part of the real estate world, but what do brokers do?

A commercial real estate broker is the expert intermediary between landlords and tenants. While they’re always working to get the best outcomes for their clients, the roles and priorities of brokers change depending on which side of the transaction they’re on.

For a commercial real estate broker working with a landlord to lease their property, the focus is on marketing the space, finding tenants, and negotiating the best returns. For brokers working on behalf of the tenants, the job is to secure the ideal space to support the growth of the client’s business.

Businesses of all sizes will likely work with a commercial real estate broker at some point, so it’s worth understanding some of the basics of what a commercial real estate broker actually does. In this article, part of our series on commercial real estate, we’ll take a look at the different types of commercial real estate brokers, how brokers get paid, and how their responsibilities can vary.
