The company’s Internal Team, as described in the previous post, defines the space requirements. This is a list of criteria for evaluating space to share with the company’s real estate representative. This criteria, listed below, defines the parameters for the market search for the company’s next location. The more firmly these details are established, and the more time given to the search, the better are the company’s chances of finding that ideal space efficiently. It will help your broker to focus on properties your company actually wants.
