Are you looking for that perfect property?

Finding a commercial property to lease or buy just isn’t as simple as it should be. Unfortunately, the commercial real estate world STILL doesn’t have a congruent MLS system for finding properties. You can drive around looking but it’s much easier and more effective to sit down with a broker who knows the market and can educate you as to what’s available.

Luckily commercial real estate prices in our area don’t fluctuate that drastically in short time frames. Current pricing and availability information can be found here on our listings page. 

If you’re leasing a property, the process can be a short as a few days to as long as one year. Seriously! Some of the determining factors are: the landlord you’re working with, the condition of the property, the lease form being used, your type of business, and more.

If you’re buying, a typical transaction takes 90-120 days but can take as few as 30 days and as long as two years. Again, it really depends on the situation.

Because of the many moving parts and the intricacies of commerical transactions, we always advise you have a team to help you navigate the many nuances of buying or leasing commercial property.

If you’re buying or leasing a commercial property, in the vast majority of cases, the cost to you is NOTHING.

Typically the seller or landlord will pay the buyer or tenant’s broker a commission.

This is the case about 95% of the time. In very rare instances a buyer or tenant would pay their broker directly for helping them buy or lease a property.

So, there’s really no reason for you NOT to engage a broker to help you buy or lease your next property.

Unfortunately, commerical real estate is very complicated and involves substantially more risk than buying a house.

If you’re leasing, you’re going to be asked to sign a lease document that’s between 20-60 pages. You’re likely going to need some form of tenant improvement. You’re going to have to negotiate the type of lease and who pays for what. And more!

If you’re buying a property, you’re going to have to deal with negotiating a price, potentially reviewing leases, rent rolls, operating statements, and the like. You’re going to be dealing with environmental inspections, appraisers and banks. And more!

Either way, you’re looking at a lot of work and a lot to lose if mistakes are made. Of course, we’re biased in thinking that every tenant and buyer should use a broker but that bias comes from years of experience helping our clients avoid mistakes that would have been made had they gone at it alone.
