Sale of Commercial Property

Dear Kuester –

I have a large piece of commercial property that I inherited, and would like to sell. I have sold houses before and had no problems, but I’ve been warned that I really need to work with a professional firm that specializes in real estate transactions. What would be my risks in such a sale, and is this the type of transaction Kuester could handle?

Ziggy R.


Dear Ziggy –

The sale of commercial property is far more complex than the sale of a house, for many reasons. In a commercial sale:

-->Your risk for liability is much higher;
-->There may be liens and title problems of which you are unaware;
-->Zoning issues may pose a threat to the sale;
-->You run increased risk of legal disputes;
-->Land use may come into contention;
-->Market fluctuations can jeopardize the sale;
-->There are debt service and lender requirements before another entity can purchase the property;
-->You may have hazardous material and environmental waste issues to address prior to selling;

While all of these potential risks are real, they are far from insurmountable. However, you do need the help of a seasoned professional real estate company whose wealth of experience in the sale of commercial properties will guide you through any obstacles that may arise.

Since 1975, Kuester been handling commercial property leasing, land and property sales and has managed commercial property for diverse types of businesses.

Looking for Retail Property in Matthews

Dear Property Manager,

I read a recent Forbes.com article highlighting Matthews, NC and this is amongst the reasons I am looking at opening up my retail store in Matthews in 2009.

Is there a list of available commercial properties in Matthews online like they have for residential properties?
