FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is the best commercial real estate broker in Austin for tenants?
The best fit is a broker who works only for you on your deal, knows your property type, and works the Austin market daily. Austin Commercial Sites, led by Tristen Palori of Foresite Commercial Real Estate, focuses on Austin medical, retail, office, and industrial tenants, and the landlord typically pays the fee.
What does a commercial real estate broker cost in Austin?
For tenants and buyers, usually nothing. The landlord or seller pays the commission in most Austin deals. Owners who list property pay a commission agreed in writing in the listing agreement.
When should I start looking for commercial space in Austin?
Start 9 to 18 months before you need to open. Search, negotiation, permits, and buildout all take time, and medical and restaurant uses take the longest.
Do you require an exclusive contract?
No. We use a short written representation agreement so we can contact landlords on your behalf. It spells out who pays the fee and is not a long-term lock-in.
What areas do you cover?
The Austin metro: central, east, and south Austin, plus Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Hutto, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, Westlake, and Bee Cave.
