Tips for Selling Commercial Real Estate

December 16, 2011
Selling commercial real estate takes skill. Not all agents know enough about the commercial real estate market and property type to do well. Providers must carefully choose their representatives.
The owner of an investment property that is going to sell their assets must carefully choose a broker who keeps current in market trends and familiar with property types. This agent should also have a high success rate in commercial real estate financing through the years. 

The sale of commercial real estate is not some “hope and pray” practice. An experienced agent can make the most out of any market situation. There are always buyers out there, they just need to be found. 

Today’s prices for a property are not necessarily what customers were paying for a few years ago. commercial real estate prices are falling and the market has a huge impact on the commercial real estate sales process. Sellers must be realistic about the price and type of sale, and agents need help with this. 

Sellers of commercial real estate must also choose a realtor for their properties based on the realtor’s success and not on discounts, commission, or marketing. Premiums or discounts on sales is not necessarily what wins buyers. 

When selling commercial real estate, some important considerations come into play:
  • What is the ideal method of sale, given the prevailing market and economic outlook?
  • When is the best time to sell, given local commercial real estate market activity and trends?
  • What kind of marketing can attract the highest levels of the target market for the commercial real estate?
  • What is the good level of property prices in terms of today can bring (something from 3 years)?
  • How flexible are our customers on price? 
Of course, there are plenty more. The sale of commercial real estate takes skill, but can be very rewarding. When the agent and the seller work together to provide these considerations, the sale is likely to be a success.
