Local brokers know the side streets like the back of their hand. Knowledge of the local community and neighborhoods in Washtenaw County means engaging in business in real time. Out of town brokers may only know what they can find in a google search. In addition to knowing the lay of the land, local brokers also know the people. Your broker knows who to call in the local government to get answers on land use, zoning and utilities. Site location, use approvals and forward motion on a deal can all be easier if in personal contact with government officials, bankers, investors and business community decision makers. Lastly, your local broker understands market trends through both a national and regional lens. This personalized and local experience will bring you commercial real estate opportunities of worth. –Dave Hamilton, CCIM
