Real Estate Brokerage
Buying Real Estate
Business is moving faster than ever before. If you are not purchasing commercial properties in ideal areas, you could be missing out on important opportunities, such as being closely located to your target market or having a location near an affluent neighborhood. A thoroughly researched market analysis can help you to make a well-informed decision.
Are you considering purchasing commercial property as an investment? Buying commercial can be a great way to earn revenue! However, commercial real estate can be a complicated process. Griffin Partners provides a full market analysis to better inform you of your choices.
Market Analysis includes considerations on…
Cost
In most cases, the best locations have the highest prices. You will likely have to decide between saving money versus being in the best location possible.
Suppliers/Vendors
Having a close proximity to an airport, post office, laboratory or a particular vendor might be important to potential tenants.
Traffic Counts
High traffic counts attract a specific type of developer while lower traffic counts will attract another.
Competition
What type of zoning is around your area? Knowing the zoning of each available parcel within your area will give you an idea of your competitive edge.
Suppliers/Vendors
Where are the most desirable areas for business? A demographics report will show the locations of affluent neighborhoods and the population count in that area. Being close to a profitable market will raise your property’s value.
Compare Rates
What prices are your competitors charging? Are they offering financing? Understanding exactly what your competition is offering can help your negotiation strategies when dealing with potential buyers.
Selling Real Estate
Thinking of selling your commercial real estate property? Attracting qualified buyers to your listing can be a confusing process. An effective marketing mix of a high-quality brochure, visible signage and an online presence can attract the right buyers for your individual building.
If people are not aware of available properties, they are unlikely to enquire. There is more to advertising your listing than placing a sign and leaving it forgotten. I’ll make sure your listing employs a multitude of advertising strategies.
Griffin Partners will Attract Quality Leads to your Property…
Brochure
A high quality, professionally designed brochure can push buyers from “just considering” into picking up the phone and enquiring about the space.
Signage
Visible, high quality signage is focused on showing the passing traffic that your building is available for sale, what type of building it is and giving a contact phone number. Other agents that focus on their names, titles and logos are more interested in advertising their own business rather than your space. Be sure that the signage for your building advertises the building and not a commercial real estate agent.
Traffic Counts
High traffic counts attract a specific type of developer while lower traffic counts will attract another.
Online Databases
More and more investors are searching online than ever before. Not only will your listing be on the top commercial real estate databases, it will also be listed on databases that business professionals can access directly. An online presence in multiple databases will allow your building to be viewed by many potential buyers.
Demographics
If your building is located in an affluent area, you are likely to be able to charge more in rent than a competing building in a less desirable location. Proximity to freeways, airports, major shopping centres and public transportation can all affect your asking price.
Competition
Is your competition charging more or less? What services are they offering to new tenants? Incentives and rates from competitive buildings in your area will also be factors to consider when adjusting your pricing.
Leasing Real Estate
Thinking of selling your commercial real estate property? Attracting qualified buyers to your listing can be a confusing process. An effective marketing mix of a high-quality brochure, visible signage and an online presence can attract the right buyers for your individual building.

Compare Rates
How much extra would a space in that beautiful Main Street building cost? Different lease rates in desired locations will give you helpful price comparison information to help you decide on your location.
Suppliers/Vendors
Having a close proximity to an airport, post office, laboratory or a particular vendor might be necessary to lower your costs or keep an important inventory stocked. If employees need to travel frequently to a certain vendor, being close to that vendor will lower travel costs and reduce time away from the store.
