Dallas Office Brokers

When looking for Dallas Office brokers to represent your interests you need to be aware of the different types of services that brokers can offer to their clients. Brokerage services fall into three main categories, buyers’ agent, seller’s agent or intermediary. It is important that the consumer of brokerages services understands the difference.

Upon first contact with a licensed Texas broker or agent they should provide you with an Agency disclosure form, which is required to be delivered upon first contact with a consumer of the Dallas office brokers prospect. The Texas Real Estate Commission require this form to be presented so that it helps to inform the individual talking with the broker that they need to know what side the broker represents.

Dallas Office Brokers Representation

Many times I speak with a tenant that has been speaking with various Dallas office brokers and they refer to the broker as their broker when in fact the broker is representing the interests of the landlord. “Their Dallas office brokers” responsibility is to the building not to the tenant. They must treat the tenant with respect and be truthful but their ultimate responsibility is to the landlord.

So how does a tenant know if the Dallas office brokers they are working with are looking out for their best outcome? This may sound crazy but the broker they are working with will usually have a signed Tenant Representation Agreement with the tenant indicating that they are obligated to the tenant and what their responsibilities are to the tenant. Without a written contract with broker the tenant really doesn’t have a broker representing them and their broker would be like all the other Dallas office brokers looking out for the interests of the landlord.

Unfortunately some tenants don’t want to sign a contract with a tenant representation broker. We think this is because they don’t understand that if they did they would automatically bring onto their team a dedicated professional that understands that Dallas office market and has complete fiduciary responsibility to them.

Dallas Office Brokers Contract

Sometimes the tenant doesn’t want to sign a contract because of bad experiences they may have had in the past. We believe that it is imperative that when a tenant is looking for Dallas office brokers to represent them that they look for professionals that only specialize in Dallas office tenant representation. By doing so they remove all potential conflicts of interest and they know that their broker is totally focused on only representing tenant’s interests and not any landlord’s. Additionally this type of broker has been immersed in thousands of hours of experience dealing with tenant’s issues and completely understands the concerns and issues a tenant may face in a lease negotiation.

When looking for a broker look for one that has had many years of personal experience assisting Dallas office tenants find good leases for their firms. Some Dallas office brokers are with old firms but they have six months of experience. We think it is better to have a broker with twenty years experience that can draw upon their own experiences to help a tenant navigate the lease negotiation and space selection process.
