Why Commercial Real Estate Brokers & Agents Refer Deals to 17 Mile
And Why They Keep Coming Back
For over a decade, 17 Mile has built its success on one simple principle: strong CRE broker relationships lead to exceptional off-market deals. We’ve earned our reputation as a trusted buyer who closes—every time.
We Close Fast, We Close Right
Off-market deals require a buyer who can move quickly and deliver on their commitments. With substantial cash reserves and established banking relationships nationwide, 17 Mile has the financial strength to close transactions on your timeline—not ours.
Track Record You Can Trust
Our team brings 35+ combined years of cell tower and telecom real estate experience. We’ve worked with hundreds of commercial real estate brokers and agents across the country, building long-term partnerships based on professionalism, transparency, and results.
Whether you’re representing the seller or bringing us an off-market opportunity, you know exactly what to expect: streamlined due diligence, clear communication, and closings that happen when promised.
“17 Mile understood the property immediately and moved decisively. From first conversation to closing, they were professional and responsive at every step.” — Brian
“I’ve worked with many buyers over the years. 17 Mile stands out because they do what they say they’ll do, when they say they’ll do it.” — Ben
These aren’t exceptions—they’re the standard. As Mark Roscioli says, “Every property owner sells eventually. We stay top of mind so we get the call when they’re ready.” Ben Long has become the go-to “telecom guy” for multiple prominent Philadelphia developers, precisely because they trust 17 Mile to execute.
Off-Market Deals: A Win-Win-Win
The best commercial real estate transactions happen before properties hit the market. For sellers, it means privacy and certainty. For brokers, it means higher commissions and satisfied clients. For 17 Mile, it means acquiring quality assets at fair valuations.
When you bring us off-market deals or new-to-market opportunities, everyone wins.
Fair Compensation, Every Time
We structure commercial real estate broker referral arrangements flexibly to suit each transaction:
- Seller-side representation: Standard commission paid by the property owner at closing
- Buyer-side representation: We engage you as our agent with compensation at closing
- Referral fees: Success-based fees negotiated upfront and paid as a transaction cost
No matter the structure, one thing never changes: our brokers and agents are fairly compensated. Period.

Real Results from Real Broker Relationships
“From the moment I first cold-called Ben and Mark back in 2017, I knew they were the kind of clients you hope to work with your entire career.
We started with a retail deal in Michigan, but as my own business evolved into a niche focus on vet hospital real estate, they never hesitated to support the shift. They’ve been incredible partners; smart, decisive, and open to strategic advisory. When I make a recommendation, they don’t just nod and shelve it. They listen, think it through, and then act. Because of that, we’ve saved them a ton of money and helped them earn a ton more.
But what really sets Ben and Mark apart is this: They do what they say they’re going to do. That’s rare. In this industry, a lot of people talk a big game but stall when it’s time to execute. Not these guys. When they say “we’re in” they’re all in. They move with clarity, communicate with respect, and they know how to work with brokers, owners, and counterparties to get deals across the finish line. Even though retail isn’t my specialty anymore, when they call me for help, I make it a point to show up. Why? Because when you find people who operate with integrity, follow through, and treat others right, you prioritize that relationship.”
