While a realtor can be an initial point of contact for these questions, I would highly recommend doing your own due diligence because their job isn't to help small business owners thrive, its to sell homes, and they are undoubtedly going to miss nuanced details (not intentionally) that will be important, or even deal breakers, for you when the time comes.
