What Our Seller Representation Includes
When you engage us to represent you as the seller, we offer a comprehensive suite of services, tailored to the complexity and potential of commercial real estate. Our services include:
Financial analysis
: Our team digs into your property’s financials: what it’s earning, the bills you pay to keep it running, any big expenses coming up, and what the cash flow looks like down the road. We want you to see exactly where you stand and what your place is really worth, no matter if you’re thinking about a straight sale, a sale/lease-back, or leasing it out.
Determination of market value & Broker Opinion of Value (BOV): We pull together recent sales, market data, rental trends, and your property’s specific numbers to put together a professional valuation and broker opinion of value. You’ll know exactly where to set your asking price.
Operating Expense Analysis & Income/Expense Analysis : We break down every operating expense, maintenance, taxes, utilities, rent rolls, all of it—so you get a clear view of net operating income (NOI). When buyers come calling, they’ll see the real performance of your asset, and that builds confidence and helps you justify your price.
Market Research & Analysis : We dive into local and broader trends, vacancy rates, rent growth, new developments, you name it—so we position your property right where it needs to be.
Finance & Tax Implications Advisory : We’ll walk you through what a sale (or sale/lease-back) means for your bottom line and taxes, then help you structure the deal to fit your goals. This includes information on capital gains, tax deferral, and the process for reinvesting.
Creation of Offering Memoranda / Marketing Materials : We put together polished offering packages—brochures, summaries, pro-formas, photos, and marketing materials so buyers don’t just see another listing but see value
Targeted Marketing & Buyer Outreach : When it’s time to get the word out, we don’t just post your property online and hope for the best. We tap into our network—locally and far beyond to find the right buyers or investors. We run targeted campaigns, reach out directly, and use every tool at our disposal to get your property in front of serious prospects.
Sale/Lease-Back Structuring (when relevant) : If you prefer to sell the asset but continue occupying or operating it, we advise on and structure sale/lease-back deals. This can unlock capital while preserving operational continuity.
Negotiations on Price & Terms : We advocate for the most favorable price, appropriate terms, and a schedule that suits your needs. We don’t let the details slip, whether it’s financing, contingencies, or the fine print on sale/lease-back agreements.
Transaction Management : We handle all the moving parts—working with buyers and their brokers, attorneys, lenders, inspectors, and anyone else involved. We stay on top of deadlines and keep everyone talking, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Document Review & Evaluation : We also review every document—leases, financial statements, titles, expense reports, and environmental or zoning records so you know everything is in order and buyers get the full picture.
Due Diligence Coordination : We coordinate inspections, audits, environmental checks, legal reviews, and property reports. Buyers get what they need to feel confident, and you avoid last-minute surprises that could derail your deal.
Our Process
1. Property & Financial Assessment
We begin by gathering all relevant data about your property—income history, expenses, leases, maintenance records, property condition, occupancy rates then conduct a comprehensive financial and market analysis. This helps us understand what your property is worth now, and what it could be worth under current/projected market conditions.
2. Market Research & Valuation
We dive deep into the market using our data, local trends, and comparable sales. This isn’t just about crunching numbers—we figure out what your property’s really worth, spot where the demand is, and zero in on the right buyers, whether that’s owner-users, investors, or value-add folks. Then we shape a marketing plan that fits.
3. Preparation of Marketing Materials & Offering Package
We put together a sharp, professional package that shows your property in the best light—financials, descriptions, photos, the whole story, plus what makes it a great opportunity. This becomes our main tool to catch the eye of serious buyers.
4. Targeted Buyer Outreach & Marketing Campaign
We don’t just list your property and hope for the best. We push it out through our network of brokers and investors, post it on top commercial real estate sites, reach out directly to likely buyers, and focus on people who actually want what you’re selling. The more eyes on your property, the better the offers.
5. Buyer Screening & Pre-Qualification
Not every interested buyer can close the deal. We screen everyone—checking financials, intent, and whether they’re the right fit—so you waste less time negotiating with the wrong people and avoid deals falling through at the last minute.
6. Negotiation & Deal Structuring
When offers come in, we don’t just look at the price. We break down the terms, contingencies, lease-back possibilities, financing, and tax angles. Then we negotiate hard to get you the best overall deal, not just the highest number.
7. Due Diligence & Document Management
Once you accept an offer, we handle all the details—inspections, audits, compliance, and reviewing every document. We make sure everything’s above board and that the deal checks every legal and financial box, so there are no surprises at closing.
8. Closing & Post-Sale Support
We stay on top of the closing process, working with your lawyers, lenders, and everyone else involved to tie up loose ends. If you’re selling as part of a sale/lease-back, we help set up the lease and handle the handoff. Our goal: a smooth, profitable sale with no headaches..
