What We Can Do For You
We work with clients across all industries to find the ideal property for their businesses. Cathy, Kelley, and the whole team at The Schneider Group have decades of experience buying, selling, and leasing commercial properties at a variety of price points.
Our brokers work diligently to find the right fit for your business or your portfolio. We support our clients by conducting market research, providing investment analyses, scouting properties for key features, negotiating all aspects of the contract, and more. Our experience in the Denver/Metro area ensures clients make informed decisions when investing in new commercial property.
Our Multi-Millions in Experience
Client Success
Because of our experience in commercial buying, we’re familiar with the unique challenges that businesses and investors face when purchasing property. Unlike residential realty, commercial buying has a complex set of requirements that not every broker is familiar with.
The Schneider Group is proud of our broad history in commercial buying, with millions of dollars in commercial real estate experience. We can ensure your location is properly zoned, and our knowledge of tax laws, market data, financial analysis, and property management can make certain you find the right property and the perfect price. In addition, we’ve helped clients run feasibility studies and investment analyses prior to purchase. We can also advise on the local market for businesses expanding into new areas to make sure you pick the right location for your success.
Helping You Find the Right Property
Customized Support
There are many unique requirements a business or investor may have. If you’re a business looking to purchase a space, we help you find the perfect location with all the amenities your business will require, whether that’s parking, high foot traffic, access to shipping and receiving via the interstate or other source, storage, space for manufacturing, or room for growth.
However, a perfect location isn’t perfect if it’s outside your budget. We work with clients to discover the right location for their business that’s also going to be a smart investment.
The Process
Path to Success
While purchasing property is always a complex journey, commercial buying includes even more critical steps. Our team’s knowledge and experience helps ensure that you’re ready for every benchmark. We work with clients through the entire search and buying process – below are some of the key steps we’ll take together as your commercial buying partners.
Defining Your Goals (and Budget)
It’s important that you and your broker both have a clear idea of your budget and your goals early on in the search for commercial property. What kind of space are you looking for, and what kind of investment are you looking to make? When it comes to financials, it’s also important to know what your financing options are and where funding will be coming from.
Getting to Know The Schneider Group Team
We begin each property search with an in-depth onboarding session. We discuss the different working relationships available with our team and build out your support team based on your project’s specific needs. Contact us today to get the ball rolling!
Arranging Financing
Buying commercial property means working with a commercial lender or other source of funding to arrange financing. Getting pre-approved for a loan strengthens your negotiating position when making offers and makes it more likely your offer will be accepted over others.
Searching for the Perfect Property
Your broker will work closely with you to discover potential commercial properties that meet your criteria. We run a thorough analysis of each property, ensuring that the real estate is in the right location and the right size for your business, has the correct zoning, and provides opportunities for future growth. We also work with property brokers and managers to schedule walk-throughs of the best properties so you can see everything first hand according to your schedule.
Conducting Due Diligence
Finding the perfect property is only the beginning of your commercial buying journey. Once you and your brokers have found the right location to buy, our team will conduct a thorough due-diligence assessment of its condition and legal status. This step may include a number of different events including inspections, environmental assessments, title searches, and reviewing existing leases.
Negotiating the Purchase Agreement
Once the property has been well assessed and you have confirmed that you want to buy it, it’s time to negotiate the purchase agreement. In addition to price, your broker will provide guidance in defining the financing, contingencies, and closing dates.
Securing Financing
Now that it’s time to buy, you’ll need to nail down those financing terms you arranged at the beginning of your property search. Working with your commercial lender, you’ll be able to complete the loan application process.
Ensuring Escrow and a Clear Title
With your funding secured, you’ll need to open an escrow account to store the earnest money and any other funds required for the property purchase. This is also the time to find a title company to ensure a clear title and handle the closing proceedings. With our commercial buying experience, The Schneider Group can connect you to trustworthy professionals to fulfill these needs.
Performing Inspections and Addressing Contingencies
Although you performed due diligence before starting the purchasing process, it’s important to do a formal inspection before closing on the deal. This is a critical step that identifies any issues that may affect the final purchase. At this point, you and your broker will also need to address any contingencies that were in the contract and ensure that everything has been resolved or negotiated to your satisfaction, whether it’s title issues, insurance snags or any other facet of the purchase.
Closing on Your Commercial Property
Once everything has been settled and you feel confident in the negotiations, it’s finally time to close on your purchase! To do this, you and your broker will meet with the title company or lawyers to sign the necessary documents, including the final purchase agreement and loan documents. This step will transfer ownership to you, and you will receive the keys to your new property.
Post-Closing
While closing on your property is technically the end of your commercial buying journey, there may still be some loose ends to tie up such as fulfilling any post-closing duties including notifying tenants or making property improvements. Through the entire process and beyond, we’ll be there to provide guidance and resources.
