A lot of small business owners and startups hesitate to reach out to a commercial real estate broker.
“My deal’s too small.”
“They won’t take me seriously.”
“I probably can’t afford a broker anyway.”
But here’s the truth: There are plenty of qualified, motivated brokers who are actively looking to work on exactly the kind of deal you have.
Why Some Brokers Love Smaller Deals
Not all brokers are chasing million-dollar leases or Fortune 500 clients. In fact, many:
Are earlier in their careers and hungry to build relationships
Focus specifically on small business leasing or local retail
Understand your needs better than someone who only works with large accounts
For these brokers, your deal is not “too small”, it’s an opportunity. They want to prove their value, build their portfolio, and help businesses like yours grow.
Your Win Is Their Win
When you succeed, your broker succeeds. A good broker knows that helping a 1,200 sq ft tenant today could lead to:
Bigger deals down the line
Repeat business when you expand
Referrals from your network
And remember: you’re not paying the broker’s fee (landlords or sellers typically do). So there's really no downside.
The Bottom Line
Don’t second-guess your value. Whether you’re looking for a small storefront, a cozy office, or a flexible industrial space, there’s a broker out there who wants to help you find it.
