For various reasons, especially in the commercial and Industrial areas, Vendors will prefer to have a Broker market the property with a scalpel rather than a hatchet.
Developement land, active retail businesses, Power of sales (which may be stigmatized) and some Industrial properties all fall into this category.For Buyers and Investors who are in this market, it is worthwhile to keep in touch with a reputable Broker on a regular basis,so as to be aware of upcoming opportunities.
The early bird gets the worm.
