7. Never Rush things
Never rush things especially if you are reaching the finalization of the deal. Never get too excited, be particular in every detail and never say a yes until you are fully certain about the conditions.
If you do things without thinking it over you might get a bad deal out of your property.
Search for the best offer, you are the owner of the property so buyers have no right or power to pressure you into the deal. You should be the one setting the pace. Be careful of making decisions out of whim and never finalize unless you are ready to carve the deal in stone.

Commercial office spaces are ending up empty as offices close shop, all victims of the economic recession. Even large companies are opting to close satellite offices, relocating their people from rented spaces back into their own facilities to save on rental costs. Commercial property owners are willing to lower rent just to keep their renters happy, for vacant properties cost money to maintain, money that should be coming from the rent tenants pay.
