Important Things to Know in Commercial Selling

We understand that the complexity of commercial real estate transactions can seem daunting. The Schneider Group will be by your side every step of the way to cover everything and answer any questions. From negotiating the contracts to providing resources to help with the tax burden, we are a one-stop shop. We also ensure that your sale is fair and ethical and that you’ve met all legal requirements.
What to Expect
Our Process
At The Schneider Group, we provide a complete range of support to our client. With decades of experience in commercial selling, we’re able to provide guidance and support through the entire process. We’ll be there through each of the following steps, helping to make sure the entire journey is seamless.
Prepare the Property
The first step when selling your commercial property is making sure it’s market-ready. You’ll wow buyers and receive a higher return on investment if the property appears to be in good condition and repairs and improvements have been made. As you’re preparing to sell, you’ll also want to gather all the documents and paperwork you’ll need for the transaction including property records, title deeds, and pertinent surveys and environmental reports.
Schedule a Property Valuation
Once your property is looking great and ready to be shown off, it’s time to assess the value of the property. Your broker can either analyze comparable properties, run an income approach to value or help you connect with a qualified appraiser who will determine the fair market value of your commercial property. Though not mandatory, undergoing a property valuation can ensure your asking price is appropriate.
Get to Know The Schneider Group Team
Once your property is ready to go on the market, we’ll have a thorough onboarding meeting with your team where we’ll discuss the different working relationships available.
Sign the Listing Agreement
As part of your kick-off with The Schneider Group, you’ll be asked to sign a listing agreement, confirming that our team will serve as your designated brokers and specifying the terms of our agreement including the listing price and the broker’s commission.
Market for Commercial Selling
Our team will develop a comprehensive marketing strategy so that your property attracts the ideal buyers. In addition to online listings, signage (if appropriate), and 3D virtual tours, we’ll use targeted advertising and our market connections to ensure that your property sale is noticed by the right audience for your commercial space. Plus, when it comes to touring the property, your broker will handle everything from scheduling to conducting the tours.
Negotiating Offers
We’ll help you determine the right offer for your business – in addition to price, deciding factors can include financing, contingencies, and the proposed closing date. We are deeply committed to conducting our business ethically and in a manner that best supports our clients. We’ll inform you of any issues and will use our experience and expertise to avoid getting into business with the wrong buyers as best we can.
Accept an Offer
Once you and your broker have determined which buyer’s offer to accept, you will need to sign a purchase agreement. This contract outlines the terms and conditions of the sale and commits to the completion of the sale if all conditions are met.
Comply with Due Diligence
Although it is the buyer’s responsibility to perform due diligence, not yours, it’s important to be involved and upfront during this process. You’ll need to be able to provide the necessary documentation and information when asked for it and to make your property available to any inspectors, contractors, appraisers, or any other professional hired to help with the due diligence.
Close the Sale
This is an exciting step in the commercial selling process! At this point, you’ll need to work with a title company or attorney to arrange the closing procedures including transferring ownership, settling any outstanding debts, and making sure all legal requirements are met.
If you don’t have your own attorney or title company, your broker can provide several recommendations to assist you at this step.
Transfer Ownership
Once all legal requirements have been met, it’s time to hand over the property. You or your broker will meet with the buyer to sign the final paperwork and transfer ownership including the keys and deed.
Receive Payment
After all conditions of the commercial sale are met, it’s payday! You may need to coordinate with the buyer’s lender or closing agent to arrange to receive your proceeds – but don’t worry, your broker can help.
Follow Through with Post-Sale Obligations
Following the sale, you may have some loose ends to clean up. The Schneider Group team is with you every step of the way when commercial selling, even after you’ve handed over the keys. You may need to transfer utility accounts, update property tax records, or notify tenants to a change in ownership.
