What is a Buyer Representative?

A buyer representative or buyer agent is a licensed real estate agent and advisor to the buyer in a commercial property transaction and advocates on their behalf during negotiations to purchase a building or condo in their local market.

Who Pays a Buyer’s Agent’s Fees?

A buyer agent or buyer representative’s services are free to the client as the broker’s fees are paid by the building owner selling their property.

Choosing to work with a commercial real estate agent on a building purchase is the best way to achieve your property goals and peace of mind during the acquisition process.

How Do I Buy Commercial Real Estate in my Area?

  1. Set Your Purchase Budget: The best place to start is identifying how much capital you can contribute to a down payment, and what you are willing to commit toward the full purchase price in financing. Your agent will help you understand how much you can afford including your loan’s principal payments, interest, property insurance, and operational costs. 

  2. Arrange Your Financing: Before searching for property, you should begin talking to lenders to find out what interest rates you qualify for, an estimate of closing costs and to get pre-qualified for a loan. A good commercial agent can recommend finance partners to start this process.

  3. Broker Engagement & Location Analysis: Set a meeting with your commercial real estate agent. During this meeting they will outline the purchase process, share a definition of working relationships, and depending on your purchase goals, you may execute an exclusive buyer agency agreement. At this time you can discuss the details of your purchase including property type, business use, locations and other criteria you’re looking for in your site selection.

  4. List of Properties & Showings: Transworld will perform detailed analyses of each site opportunity available on the market so they can present demographic details, traffic counts, market data, trade areas, and a cost-benefit analysis to the client. This will ensure a true cost analysis of buying a particular property. Once you have settled on viable properties, your commercial broker will set up showings to view each location and walk you through the space.

  5. Submit a Letter of Intent & Negotiations: Once a property has been identified, you will begin the negotiation process by submitting a letter of intent (LOI). The LOI allows the buying and selling parties to structure the transaction prior to developing the final purchase contract and working with an attorney.

  6. Due Diligence: Due diligence is customized to each property but always includes an environmental study, inspections, zoning verification, city and county regulation verifications, title review, and an appraisal of the property’s value.

  7. Closing: Your agent will help you manage the closing timeline so that your purchase stays on track. They will work in concert with the seller’s agent, the settlement officer, title officer, financing and others to reach a successful closing. You will provide required funds to the professional handling escrow, and execute the loan and closing documents.

Where Can I Find Commercial Real Estate for Sale?

The best place to find commercial buildings for sale is to review commercial listing sites like CoStar, LoopNet, 42Floors, Crexi, or CommercialCafe and to work in concert with your commercial real estate agent who will have access to property listings that may never reach the market.

Transworld Commercial Real Estate also provides unique access to commercial real estate listings that are otherwise insulated from the market, through our partner, Transworld Business Advisors.
