Our community is growing and our commercial real estate values are rising as well. If you are looking to sell or lease this is the time to really get more aggressive on the market and to build on your property investments. If you own a warehouse, vacant land or industrial properties and you're ready, it's always good to sit down with an experienced agent and get the process started.
1. Seek out an agent rather than an agency. Sure there are reputable agencies all over, and some do amazing work. But it is much less likely your property will be a prime concern. Finding a specific agent with references is the way to go. Sure you will still get an agency if you wish but you will also have an agent you feel meets your needs.
2. Get a property inspection. You want to know that any imperative outstanding issues that must be fixed can be handled. This will ensure that your tenants are happy and that you will not run into issues down the line.
3. Look at what other properties in the area with similar age and features are selling and or renting for is also a great idea. Even getting a proper appraisal is highly important. This will help you place a solid number on your property.
4. Work with your agent. The agent may need some wiggle room to get your deal done in a timely fashion. Just remember sometimes you have to budge a little!
5. Have your landscaping and lawn care maintained, it will greatly increase the appearance of the building. Also, it is a proven fact that commercial properties with maintained lawns and landscaping draw 15% more interest that properties without lawn and landscaping maintenance.
