Tips on Selling Commercial Real Estate

1. Know Who Your Buyer Is

There’s no use in marketing a property if you don’t know who you’re marketing it towards. Knowing who your likely buyers are is crucial to this process, especially if you’re looking to make a quick sale.

Before anything else, evaluate the property to determine who could be in the market for it. Does the property lean itself more towards investors or towards small business owners? Once you have figured this out, advertisements will be successful in drawing in customers. 

2. Get Contacts

Once you have an idea of what your likely buyer looks like, it’s time to get names. Getting access to a database of likely buyers will be important at this time. It should contain their basic information, like e-mail address, phone number, and mailing address. You will begin to create relationships with them that could potentially even lead to future sales.

If you’re having trouble finding potential buyers, talk to other real estate agents. They may have tips on how to gain access to these databases. 

Have realistic expectations

3. Have Realistic Expectations

You should expect to see a slow start to this process. Commercial real estate is on the low, so new properties don’t get a whole lot of attention. It will be important to market the property well so that, over time, buyers will become interested. However, keep in mind that you will not be selling for weeks, if not months. 

4. Consider Remodeling

Remodeled properties tend to sell faster than out-of-date ones. Most buyers, especially those who want to start a new business, are looking to purchase something that is almost perfect and that will require little to no effort. 

Doing things like painting walls, epoxy floor coatings, or changing tiles can make a huge difference in the appeal of your property. 

5. Stay On Top Of Industry Trends

There’s nothing worse than being left behind by your competitors. If you’re not keeping track of industry trends and real estate technology, you won’t make quick sales. These tools can help with advertising and knowing how to market to buyers. 

Additionally, you should consider keeping up to date with your specific training, such as CCIM, to learn more about negotiations and market analysis.
