How We Help You Buy a Commercial Property
1. Define Buyer Criteria & Investment Objective
The broker meets with the buyer to determine their investment goals, preferred asset class (retail, office, industrial, multifamily, etc.), price range, location, and return expectations (cap rate, IRR, etc.). This includes discussing risk tolerance, value-add potential, and property management preferences. A clear investment profile guides the search process.
2. Identify and Analyze Properties
The broker searches on-market and off-market listings, providing financial summaries, rent rolls, and offering memorandums for promising properties. Initial underwriting is performed to assess income, expenses, cap rate, and potential upside. The broker may also conduct site visits or coordinate with property managers or tenants.
3. Submit Letter of Intent (LOI)
Before submitting a formal purchase agreement, the buyer submits a non-binding Letter of Intent outlining basic deal terms: price, deposit, due diligence period, financing, closing timeline, and any contingencies. This allows both sides to align on key terms before drafting legal documents. The broker prepares and negotiates the LOI on the buyer’s behalf.
4. Negotiate and Execute Purchase Agreement (PSA)
Once the LOI is accepted, the parties enter into a formal Purchase and Sale Agreement. The broker helps ensure that deal points from the LOI are accurately reflected and works with the buyer’s attorney, if involved. The PSA includes detailed language on due diligence, default rights, closing conditions, and contingency timelines.
5. Open Escrow & Order Title
Upon execution of the PSA, the broker coordinates opening escrow and ordering title. Escrow acts as the neutral third party managing funds and documents. Title begins reviewing the property’s history, ownership chain, and any encumbrances (liens, easements, CC&Rs). The buyer receives preliminary title reports and seller-provided documents.
6. Deposit Earnest Money
The buyer wires the initial earnest money deposit to escrow as specified in the PSA (often 1–3% of purchase price). This secures their contractual position during the due diligence phase. The deposit may become non-refundable after a defined period unless otherwise negotiated.
7. Conduct Comprehensive Due Diligence
This is the most critical stage in a commercial transaction. The buyer investigates physical, financial, legal, environmental, and zoning aspects of the property. Due diligence may include lease audits, reviewing service contracts, CAM reconciliations, environmental site assessments (Phase I/II), property condition reports, and surveys. The broker helps coordinate inspections, gather documents, and liaise with the seller.
8. Review Leases, Financials, and Tenant Estoppels
The buyer thoroughly reviews all leases, rent rolls, operating statements, and any arrears. Tenant estoppel certificates may be requested to verify lease terms and confirm no disputes exist. The broker helps obtain and review these documents to ensure income is secure and in line with pro forma expectations.
9. Secure Financing (if applicable)
If financing is involved, the buyer works with a commercial lender or mortgage broker to secure a loan. The lender may require updated financials, third-party reports (appraisal, Phase I, PCA), and full underwriting. The broker provides documents and property-level insight to support the buyer’s loan process and timeline.
10. Remove Contingencies
Once due diligence is complete and financing is secured, the buyer removes all contingencies in writing. At this point, the deal becomes firm, and the deposit often becomes non-refundable. The broker confirms that all documentation is complete and the transaction is on track for closing.
11. Final Review of Title, Closing Docs & Prorations
The buyer reviews final escrow instructions, title policies, and closing statements. Rent prorations, security deposit transfers, and utility adjustments are confirmed. The broker ensures the final closing statement is accurate and reconciles any open questions before signing.
12. Buyer Signs Closing Documents
The buyer signs the final purchase documents, loan agreements (if applicable), and escrow instructions. Signings are typically handled via notary or DocuSign, depending on jurisdiction. The broker confirms signatures are complete and all funds are in escrow.
13. Wire Final Funds to Escrow
The buyer wires the remaining down payment, closing costs, and any reserves required. Escrow confirms receipt and prepares for recordation. Timing of the wire is critical to avoid delays or missed deadlines.
14. Close of Escrow & Recordation
Escrow records the deed with the appropriate county recorder's office, officially transferring ownership to the buyer. Once recording is confirmed, the broker delivers closing confirmation and relevant documents to the buyer. Any post-closing duties (e.g., tenant notification, property management handoff) are initiated.
15. Post-Closing Handoff & Asset Management Setup
The broker may assist with post-closing transition, including coordinating introductions to tenants, vendors, and property managers. If the buyer is an investor, property management protocols and financial reporting structures are put in place. The goal is to ensure seamless operational control and long-term value creation.
With others.
Disconnected experience
- Big brokerages, often demanding high commissions, provide limited attention since they are juggling many clients.
- Agents will pass you around their team members, vendors, and/or partnered brokers leaving you feeling disconnected.
- Need to find own financing solutions.
Underwhelming results
- Agents will look for the best transaction opportunity, not the best opportunity for you.
- Technology-based services put you through a one-size-fits-all process that leaves you on your own learning the service and wasting time. Options are limited and may not apply to your case.
