Commercial Property Lease Commission

[Andreea Moldovan]

Hello BP community!

I am an agent representing the tenant in a commercial lease and upon agreeing verbally on a 5 year lease, the listing agent/seller wants to breakdown the lease to 2 years lease with the option to extend the lease for 2 additional 2 year periods.  (2+2+2)

Is he trying to cut off my commission for the 2 additional 2 year periods?

Any thoughts of how you would approach the situation will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
