Here are 10 ways you in which you know you need to go back to the drawing board.

1. While the size of the spaces you’re shown seem OK, none are laid out remotely close to what you need.

2. When you ask if the suite can be remodeled, you’re told, “Sure, no problem.”

3. Your broker sends you a 50 page computer print-out of every building in a 20 mile radius and asks you to point out which ones you’d like to see BEFORE meeting you or discussing your business.

4. The broker is so familiar with the buildings you are seeing that the landlords actually let the broker put his name or his company’s name on a sign in front of their buildings.

5. The broker’s cell phone burns up from calling ahead to landlords from his car with you in it to check on availabilities- assuming it’s not one of those “friendly” landlords.

6. Three hours into the tour, the broker doesn’t know the name of your company or what you do.

7. You tour so many properties you end up having breakfast, lunch, and dinner with your broker.

8. The sign on the side of the broker’s car reads “Tours-R-Us.”

9. You can stand to not hear any more stories of how many BIG deals the broker did.

10. At the end of the tour the broker assures you you’ll get your first choice building and hands you a reminder card to call him in five years.
