Market Value

A Listening Ear.

  Compassion is a helpful quality in many professions; however, when you think about commercial real estate, compassion may not come to mind.  Let me tell you a story. I was recently asked to visit with a potential seller to discuss a property they were considering putting on the market. Prior to our meeting, I had been briefed on the situation, did some preliminary research, and felt confident I would get the listing and make the sale. When I arrived, the prospect had a different idea. She had just lost her husband, who, according to her, was the face of the business.

This woman was looking for a friendly ear, so I listened. How could I not? Towards the end of our visit, we did transition to why I was there and got down to the business of it all.

This is where it gets really interesting… The asking price is crucial for attracting potential buyers. Some brokers may suggest a pie-in-the-sky value just so they can secure the listing (A horrible idea ). However, a more prudent approach is to price the property approximately 15% above the market value to maximize the return. Th

Prospecting: The Thoughtful Way

Prospecting: The Thoughtful Way In any kind of sales, especially commercial real estate, you will most likely need to do some kind of prospecting for new clients. An old mentor of mine once said that new business doesn’t just walk in the door all the time, and wow, is that true. When you think of prospecting, the first thing to come to mind is probably the dreaded “cold call”. Everyone knows what I’m talking about, whether you’ve received them or done them yourself. The pitch for the latest service, investment, or product always seems to be the same and generally ends the same as well, without commitment. Instead of blind, cold prospecting, what about taking the time to research potential clients, obtain a base level understanding of their property, and make a “warm call”? What would that look like? Try sending an introductory letter or other mailed version of outreach. Perhaps include a photo or map of their property, including comparable sales, other current listings, and/o
