Commercial Sales

At First Look Realty, we believe in full transparency and efficiency, refining our process over the years to ensure a seamless experience for you. Unlike big firms that split their commissions 4-6 ways and get rewarded for keeping listings in-house, we are always working in your best interests. As skilled negotiators with no allegiance to anyone but you, our approach remains consistent and effective whether you’re selling a commercial condo, mixed-use investment, 5+ unit multifamily, or warehouse. We provide superior service and dedication to maximizing your property's value.

Step-by-Step Selling Process:

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Agreement

We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your property's unique value, the properties current income and expenses, analyze the market looking at similar and recent sales, and determine a competitive listing price. Once we've agreed on the listing price and terms, we move forward with the marketing process.

Step 2: Professional Photography and Marketing Materials

We schedule a professional photographer to capture high-quality images and create a detailed floor plan. Additionally, we can include video tours and drone footage to showcase your property in the best light. Quality visuals are crucial for attracting serious buyers.

Step 3: Listing on CoStar

Your listing goes live on CoStar, which is essentially the MLS of commercial properties on steroids. It is the platform used by all the large firms and big time players, and we invest heavily to be a part of it. If you prefer to remain discrete, we can restrict access to industry professionals only, ensuring that even if someone googles the address, they won't find anything. This approach is incredibly effective for maintaining privacy while reaching qualified buyers.

Step 4:Pre-Qualified Showings

We require proof of funds from potential buyers before scheduling any showings. This step ensures that we are only dealing with qualified buyers/investors, saving you time and effort. Once verified, we coordinate and manage all showings, keeping you informed at every stage.

Step 5: Feedback and Metrics

After each showing, we collect detailed feedback and provide you with insights. CoStar's platform allows us to see exactly who viewed your listing and for how long, giving us valuable data to reverse prospect and refine our strategy. We keep you updated on these metrics to ensure transparency and informed decision-making.

Step 5: Feedback and Metrics

After each showing, we follow up for feedback and keep you informed every step of the way. We monitor key metrics like online views and favorites to gauge interest and adjust our strategy as needed. More views lead to more showings, more offers, and ultimately, a better selling price.

Step 6: Handling Offers

When offers come in, they are uploaded with proof of funds into our system, which sends them immediately to both you and us. This ensures transparency and efficiency, allowing you to review all offers in one place. We do research to make sure the buyers are legitimate and require a non refundable deposit to weed out the time wasters.

Step 7: Closing

Once we are out of attorney review. We coordinate inspections and stand firm against buyers trying to nickel and dime you. If the buyer is getting a loan, we meet the appraiser at the property to ensure they have good comps, preventing any appraisal issues. We also instruct the title company on how to efficiently get all proceeds over to you. Our goal is to make the closing process as seamless as possible, doing whats best for YOU every step of the way.
