ACQUISITION
"All agents are not created equal" when it comes to negotiating purchase contracts for commercial and multifamily properties. Having the right broker representing you means significant savings on your purchase. We understand the buying process and all obstacles that come with it. We know how to negotiate the best possible purchase price and structure reasonable and attainable escrow terms; we carefully examine the due-diligence material and help you navigate through the typical challenges and pitfalls during the escrow period. Upon closing, we continue to provide you with exceptional post-sale services including transferring management, utilities, notifying tenants and organizing the paperwork for your newly acquired property.
DISPOSITION
There comes a time when it makes sense to sell your income property, whether it's to dissolve a partnership, exchange for a less-management property, or simply cash out and call it quits. Listing an occupied property on the market is not an easy task; it requires a great deal of commitment and patience by the seller and the occupants. Unless you have a competent agent on your side, it could turn into a nightmare. We carefully package the property to be sold quickly and at a good price. We provide buyers with marketing and due-diligence material that describes the current condition of the property and its future potential. We vet buyers carefully and in great detail before accepting their offers, underwrite the financials to avoid disapproval by lenders, and control the escrow process, contract terms and deadlines. We make every effort to avoid having the property fall out of escrow, and will stick by you every step of the way until the closing and disbursement of funds.
LEASING
It takes a lot more than hanging a "For Lease" sign on a building and advertising it online to get a property leased. Unlike residential leasing, commercial leasing requires a great amount of creativity, insight, and foresight. Commercial leases can last for decades; what you sign for today will affect your property value for many years. It takes a substantial amount of knowledge and experience from your agent to solicit a quality tenant and negotiate optimal lease terms. We are extremely selective when it comes to choosing properties that we list for lease. We focus on a select handful of lease-listings to ensure that we are providing superior service to our clients.
PROPERTY MANAGMENT
We provide property management for commercial properties only: Office, Retail and Industrial. Property must be in Sonoma County. Services include, rent collection, expenses payment, monthly statements, CAM charges reconciliations, lease renewal and negotiations, tenant relations and handling various maintenance crews. Management fees typical 6% of gross base rental income.
VALUE-ADD
When an investment property is listed on the market and presented to buyers on a silver platter with all the bells and whistles — fully leased, fixed-up and with a stabilized income stream — rest assured the seller has already taken most of the profits. Shrewd investors buy properties that are distressed, either because of their dilapidated state, high vacancy or troubled ownership. Value-add deals are not for everyone; they are typically all-cash transactions and short escrow with minimal due diligence. Many of our clients are currently enjoying returns that are significantly above market from value-add projects that we have assisted in completing.
