How do you find a buyer?

I utilize a variety of strategies to bring buyers to the deal. I have access to a strong and vast network of industry professionals. I have relationships with buyers and others who refer clients to me. Additionally, I use LoopNet, MLS and Costar and other online resources.

Do I need to hire an attorney when selling my property?

We are commercial property agents and do not provide legal advice. We do, however, work with skilled and experienced real estate attorneys and seek their counsel as necessary.

What do commercial property brokers needs from their clients to expedite the process?

Commercial property brokers need information from their clients. For example, a commercial broker will ask their clients to provide important details about the history of the property and other facts crucial to its sale. Open and responsive communication makes selling a commercial property much easier.

How long does it take to sell my property?

The length of time it takes to sell a property is dependent upon many factors, like the amount of due diligence required to get the property ready to sell. A sale typically averages 6-12 months in the bidding process.

What is a 1031 exchange?

A 1031 exchange is a swap of one investment property for another that allows capital gains taxes to be deferred.

How are you determining the sale price for my property?

Your broker will consider many factors such as the location of your property, the year it was built, the type of property, and the size of the property. Your broker should be taking a market approach, which means they are looking at recent sales of other properties that match many of the characteristics of your commercial property to determine the sale price.

Does the grade of my office space matter?

Properties are broken down into three classifications. Each property classification reflects a different risk and return because properties are graded according to a combination of geographical and physical characteristics. These letter grades are assigned to properties after considering factors such as age of the property, location of the property, tenant income levels, growth prospects, appreciation, amenities, and rental income. There is no precise formula that dictates which properties are placed into which class. Grade A space is the most expensive and presents the least amount of risk. Conversely, Grade C is the least expensive but has the most amount of risk. In most instances, it would be cost prohibitive to try and invest enough money into your property for the purpose of moving it up a grade.

Why do I need a commercial property broker? I can sell it myself.

There are important benefits to working with a commercial property broker. An experienced and astute broker will have strong relationships with other industry professionals to help locate buyers, will thoroughly understand market trends, and has tried and true marketing techniques and resources.

How do commercial property agents get paid?

Agents get paid by the property owners via commission. An agent’s commission does not affect the purchase price.

What are your qualifications?

I am a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM). The certification is designated for those recognized as experts in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. With over 19 years of successful experience as a broker, I have brokered the sale of over 1,000 properties.

4. Expert knowledge of local market

Commercial real estate markets are dynamic; relying on the expertise of a commercial real estate broker is the best way for you to make informed decisions based upon market trends. When a commercial real estate broker has experience in a particular geographical area, they know the little things that make all the difference. Those little things may include:

Commercial real estate brokers understand current zoning regulations and may have insider information about whether there are re-zoning possibilities under consideration
The best commercial brokerages and brokers have access to real time information that can influence your property’s valuation
These commercial brokerages understand neighborhoods and site-specific factors (like traffic patterns) that may impact the valuation or best use of your commercial property

5. Well established network

Selling commercial real estate is far more complex than selling residential real estate. In order to get the right price for your property, you need to work with a top agent and commercial real estate brokerage who is able to find the right buyer for your property. To find the right buyer, your broker needs to have a well-established and vast network, which takes years to develop.

We use professional photography.
We help buyers see their vision in your commercial real estate.
We assure the valuation of your commercial real estate reflects the full potential of your property.
We bring the buyer to the property for an in-person tour to share strategic information and build trust.

Professional photography makes a difference. Low-quality snapshots are forgettable and raise concerns about how serious you are about selling your commercial real estate. Professional photography is vital in getting you the best price and right deal for your commercial real estate in Massachusetts.

We help buyers see their vision in your commercial real estate. Our expert team will be intentional about showing how the property can be utilized in new and different ways in the future. The current use of a property isn’t always its future best use. We never assume that any potential new owner would have the same purpose for the building – to do so could result in leaving a lot of money on the table.

Your commercial real estate is valuable. When you choose MANSARD, you can be sure that the valuation of your commercial real estate for sale will reflect the full potential of your Massachusetts commercial property.

Seeing is believing… and buying. The team at MANSARD will get the buyer onto the property for an in-person tour which will be also utilized to share strategic information with the buyer. Buyers are more likely to trust your property valuation if they feel confident you aren’t hiding anything with the sale of your Massachusetts commercial real estate.

Commercial Real Estate Brokerages And Their Expertise

Selling a commercial property is considerably more complex than selling a residential property. In order to close the sale on a commercial property, the buyer is going to require more information than would someone purchasing a residential property. The buyer will need information to help them project their return. A seller needs to demonstrate that its property’s location will drive traffic to their business to give them confidence that this new investment will provide a sufficient Return on Investment, Internal Rate of Return, and/or Return on Equity to justify the acquisition. The seller needs to provide buyers evidence of property income and performance. An expert commercial real estate broker will know how to present that information in a light most favorable to the seller.

These are just a few examples highlighting the many nuances of selling commercial real estate. The good news is those functions fall within the expertise of a commercial property brokerage like MANSARD. Elite agents choose to work at excellent commercial real estate brokerages, and they will handle the paperwork, prepare the reports, and manage the negotiations for you making your life through the sales process simpler.

How To Select A Commercial Real Estate Brokerage

Selecting the best commercial real estate brokerage is the best way for you to yield the highest return on the sale of your property. Making that selection, however, can be a daunting task given the vast number of commercial real estate brokerages in business. It is necessary to ask these important questions to help you make the best decision in the disposition of your property.

What is the experience of the commercial real estate brokerage?

Having experience on your side is among the most important considerations in selecting a commercial real estate brokerage. With MANSARD, you are selecting a brokerage with over 19 years of experience. Over that time, MANSARD and its agents have provided excellent representation to their commercial clients. They have developed an unrivaled level of expertise and provide industry-leading customer service.

What is the specialty of the real estate brokerage?

MANSARD specializes in the sale of commercial real estate. Whether you are selling a warehouse or an office building, you need to work with a brokerage who is an expert at their craft, like MANSARD. A residential realtor is not going to have the expertise or established industry contacts to effectively market and sell your property to your advantage. Neither will a commercial agency with a limited portfolio. With MANSARD, you are getting a brokerage that has negotiated the sale of over 1,000 properties.

Does the brokerage have knowledge of your market?

Any commercial real estate brokerage can tout themselves as experts. What is most important is that you work with a brokerage who intimately knows your market. Understanding your market’s trends, knowing prospective buyers interested in your market, and understanding the nuances unique to your community are all important considerations for any seller. At MANSARD, we know the local markets in which we work and have relationships in those markets that allow us to more effectively market your property than our competition.

Commercial Real Estate Brokerages And Due Diligence

Our proprietary commercial real estate buyer database generates a 58% higher rate of engagement in our sale opportunities than the industry average.

That’s because we track each of these buyers as well as maintain an ongoing database of regional, national, and international commercial real estate investors who have demonstrated an ability and willingness to make additional property acquisitions.

Aside from all the effort an expert commercial real estate broker will invest in qualifying and engaging a buyer, there is a significant amount of due diligence required to ensure a smooth and successful sale of commercial real estate. The due diligence for a commercial agent includes a thorough examination of the following:

Deeds, trust information, and other documents that pertain to legal ownership interests
Mortgages and liens, (including mechanic’s liens) and other pertinent financial information
Maps, surveys, easements, local codes, restrictions, covenants, and encroachment information
Past legal activity involving the property or its owner, or instances of damage, such as fire, flood, vandalism or wind damage
Taxation records, including information about liens and unpaid taxes
Building permits, condemnation orders, and inspection reports
Rental amounts, vacancy rates, tenant issues, and legal actions involving tenants or the owner
Official measurements, square footage, structural details, age and past usages
Permits, regulations and other official information affecting the property, community or the owner
Past sale amounts, past attempts to sell, and other pertinent market information

The Best Commercial Real Estate Brokerages Find The Right Buyers

Investing in commercial real estate can be a great way to grow wealth, but it can be difficult for owners to find the right buyers for their multi-million dollar properties. Working with a high-quality commercial real estate brokerage, like MANSARD, is the best way to find the right buyer for your commercial property. While listing platforms are great tools, it’s how top commercial brokerages understand what their audience is looking for that separates them from other agencies. Once the right type of buyer is identified, it’s a matter of a commercial real estate brokerage utilizing its network of contacts to actively and aggressively market to those buyers. The team at MANSARD utilizes all its resources to help locate the right buyer for your property.

“MANSARD was a partner through the whole process. From the initial leasing of a temporary space to the acquisition of our own building. I like the personal touch and sense of expertise that came with working with MANSARD.”
