CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

We relied on The Meyer Group to coordinate the many moving parts and especially contract negotiations which enabled us to focus on the bigger picture. As landlords and their building portfolios continue to grow, it's critical that tenants have a "tiger" in their corner to help even the score. We are proud to call The Meyer Group our "tiger."

10 Frequently Asked Questions About Choosing a Broker

Finding the right commercial real estate solution for your company's expansion or relocation involves a seemingly endless array of details that have to be handled expertly.

You know how important it is to have an experienced commercial real estate broker on your side. But how do you choose the one that's right for you?

Here are some questions that you should ask yourself when evaluating a broker you're considering hiring:

-Does this broker represent both tenants and landlords?

Since 1994 The Meyer Group has focused solely on tenant representation. We've never worked for landlords or for developers. Our only interest is in helping our clients to find the ideal commercial real estate solution to meet their needs, now and in the future.

-How long has this broker been working in the local market?

The Meyer Group has been working in the DC, Maryland and Virginia since 1994. We know the local market best because it's our only market. We're not a franchise or a branch office.

-Does this broker keep current with the industry and with technology?

Most of the problems in commercial real estate don't come from having overlooked a particular property but from having overlooked a critical detail in the evaluation of a building or a contract. At The Meyer Group our associates have the highest and most up-to-date credentials, training and technology that help our clients find the best properties for their needs.

-Does this broker have my best interests in mind?

The Meyer Group is committed to excellence in tenant representation so you never have to wonder whose interests are foremost in our thinking. Because the average commercial lease has a term of 5 10 years, we spend time with each client helping them to clearly define their goals and objectives. We want to do more than help you with your current commercial real estate needs; we want to be your real estate partners far into the future.

-What is this broker's track record?

Has this broker worked with other organizations in the same industry as me? In the areas where I'm looking? With the same budget as mine? The Meyer Group has years of experience and a long list of satisfied clients throughout DC, Maryland and Virginia. We're proud of our reputation as fierce negotiators for our clients and we're never willing to sacrifice a long-term relationship for a short-term gain.

-Who would recommend this broker?

The Meyer Group is proud to provide you with a long list of client references for a variety of square footage, commercial real estate transaction types and client industries throughout DC, Maryland and Virginia. We also invite you to learn about our reputation not only from speaking with those we've negotiated for, but also with those we've negotiated with - landlords, lenders, contractors and more.

-Who will be part of my team if I work with this broker?

A commercial real estate transaction involves a lot more people than just the landlord and the tenant. Often the services of architects, space planners, financial analysts, engineers, appraisers, and relocation specialists are needed to make the transaction as complete and smooth as possible.

Through the years we've developed strong relationships in every key area of commercial real estate service. We not only make recommendations for you but also help you analyze your options and create the perfect team for your transaction.

-What happens after move-in?

Our relationship with our clients doesn't end at move-in or with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Our solutions include the ongoing management of your lease, the monitoring of your pass-through expenses, the analysis of your real estate taxes and much more.

Our goal is to help you with more than the commercial real estate decision that you are currently thinking about. We want to be your lifetime commercial real estate advocates and advisers the firm that you use and that you recommend to others.
