Commercial Buyers
Define the Use, Numbers, Records, and Due Diligence Before You Chase a Property and/or Business.
A commercial property and/or business can look right and still fail the intended use, financing, access, zoning, utility, occupancy, lease, environmental, or operating requirements. Start by defining the decision before screening the inventory..
START DISCUSSING MY COMMERCIAL PURCHASE.
Initial Planning for a Property and/or Business Should Include Discussing the Following...
- Owner-user, investment, development, relocation, expansion, or another objective.
- Property type, target area, size, access, parking, loading, visibility, utilities, and use requirements.
- Cash, financing, lender, exchange, partnership, entity, and timing considerations.
- Required records, professional reviews, and a realistic due-diligence period.
- Representation scope, confidentiality, and communication expectations.
Property Questions that Matter...
Use and Approvals - Is the intended use permitted, practical, accessible, serviceable, and compatible with the site and improvements?
Income and Occupancy - What leases, tenant obligations, expenses, income assumptions, vacancies, or management issues require verification?
Fit - Does the property satisfy the intended use, location, space, accessibility, maintenance, and financial requirements?
Physical and Environmental - What inspections, surveys, plans, utilities, structural, roof, mechanical, drainage, environmental (DEP), or site questions need qualified review?
Contract and Financing - Which contingencies, deposits, lender requirements, records, timelines, and closing conditions affect execution risk?
Condition and Risk - Which systems, records, insurance questions, association issues, or inspections need attention?
Cost - What recurring and nonrecurring costs may exist beyond the purchase price and loan payment?
Exit and Flexibility - Could future resale, rental restrictions, assessments, location changes, zoning issues, or property type limit options later?
What We Will Not Promise
- A guaranteed sale price or closing date.
- A seller will provide concessions to sell their property.
- That every request during negotiations/transaction will be entertained by a selling party.
- That the highest offer is automatically the safest or most beneficial offer.
- That an automated estimate is a complete pricing analysis.
- That every challenge can be eliminated. The purpose is to identify and manage preventable uncertainty.
