Thinking about buying commercial property? Before you sign the purchase and sale agreement, let’s talk negotiation—because the terms you lock in today can make or break your investment down the road.
Here are three must-know strategies to secure the best deal:
âś… 1. Know Your Market Value
Utilize a broker to help with negotiations. Understanding market trends, property values, competing property on the market, and recent comparable sales gives you the confidence to know you’re starting at the right price, and have a strategy in place when discovering unforeseen costs due to capital improvements or deferred maintenance that may come up during inspections.
âś… 2. Look Beyond the Price
Negotiation isn’t just about what you pay upfront. Consider factors like financing terms, contingencies, repair costs, capital expenditures, build-out costs, leasing fees, and operating expenses that will be a consideration after closing.
âś… 3. Always Have Leverage
One of the strongest positions in negotiation? Having options. If the terms don’t align with your goals, be willing to walk away. Keeping backup properties in mind puts you in control of the conversation.
With 20+ years of experience in commercial real estate, I’ve helped clients secure the right properties with favorable terms that protect their investments. Smart negotiation isn’t just about the price—it’s about meeting long-term goals.
