BARBERMURPHY - Commercial Real Estate

09/03/2026

A sale-leaseback can be a powerful financial strategy—but it isn't the right solution for every business.

If you're planning to relocate, your facility no longer meets your operational needs, your cash flow can't comfortably support lease payments, or you view your real estate as a long-term investment, other options may make more sense.

The key is understanding which strategy best supports your business goals.

At BARBERMURPHY, we help business owners evaluate their real estate, financial objectives, and long-term plans to determine whether a sale-leaseback is the right fit.

A strong business doesn't always guarantee a strong offer.

Today's buyers look beyond revenue. They want to see a business that's organized, scalable, and positioned for long-term success.

Through the partnership between BARBERMURPHY and Grand Business Brokers we help business owners prepare for the questions buyers are already asking.

The more prepared your business is, the more confident buyers will be—and that can make all the difference when it's time to sell.

BARBERMURPHY is proud to partner with Grand Business Brokers to provide Metro East business owners with a more comprehensive approach to business transitions.

For many owners, the value they’ve built extends beyond the business itself—it also includes the real estate behind it. Together, our teams can help owners navigate business value, commercial real estate, exit planning, deal structure, and long-term transition strategies.

Whether the best path is selling the business and property together, structuring them separately, or exploring a sale-leaseback, having the right expertise at the table can make all the difference.

We’re excited about this partnership and the opportunities it creates for business owners throughout the Metro East.

We are excited to share that Grand Business Brokers and BARBERMURPHY are now strategic partners, creating a real win win for business owners across the Metro East.

Why does this matter?

For many owners, the value they have spent years building is not tied to just the business. It may also include commercial real estate, land, buildings, or lease opportunities that play an important role in the overall exit.

At Grand Business Brokers, our focus is helping owners understand the value of their business, prepare for the market, navigate the sale, and position it for the strongest possible outcome.

BARBERMURPHY brings extensive commercial real estate expertise to that same conversation.

By working together, our goal is to help owners who also have a real estate component look strategically at both sides of the transaction and work toward maximizing the value of both the business and the property.

That may mean selling them together. It may mean structuring them separately. It could also mean retaining the real estate and leasing it to the new business owner.

Every situation is different, which is exactly why having expertise on both sides can be so valuable.

Together, we can help owners think through:

• Business value
• Commercial real estate value
• Exit planning
• Buyer readiness
• Deal structure
• Transition strategy
• Maximizing what they have built

This is about bringing the right expertise to the table and working toward the same goal: helping business owners protect and maximize the value of what they have spent years building.

If you own a business and the real estate it operates from, we would love to start that conversation bringing the power of both BARBERMURPHY - Commercial Real Estate & Grand Business Brokers which will ensure you achieve maximum results.

Your business and your real estate are valuable—but they're not valued the same way.

Business value is driven by cash flow, profitability, customers, and operations. Real estate value is based on the property itself, including its location, condition, and market demand.

Understanding the difference is key to making informed decisions when planning for growth, a transition, or a future sale.

At BARBERMURPHY, we help business owners evaluate both assets to maximize their overall value.
