SERVICES FOR
PROPERTY OWNERS

One of the most important needs from a seller or landlord is helping to understand what a property is worth and what the market is for that type of property. Our agents begin by researching zoning which impacts the potential for the property: Including but not limited to uses, restrictions, setbacks, and approval processes. Agents then begin to study tax value and determining if the property measures up to the actual value. We can also determine if the value is too high and if a property owner is being over taxed. In the end we determine what the highest and best use for the property is?

Our agents review financials such as cash flow, operating expenses, taxes, and tenant rents to help determine value and to create a pricing strategy for a property in this market. Gerspacher Agents do an exceptional job educating property owners on the market as far as sales and leasing and how lease rates are supporting the asking & sales prices.

Your Gerspacher Real Estate Agent will conduct a thorough in-person walk through of the property. The agent’s review helps us to evaluate the physical condition of the property and to assess recent capital improvements, electric and gas capacity, property weaknesses and marketable features so that we can create an overview for a property owner.

Once the agent’s preliminary work is completed, he/she will review, analyze and create a strategy on how to list a property, what changes or updates are needed and get it into the market using all the data collected in the value assessment phase of the process. Our agents will follow up and review the information with the seller.

The seller and Gerspacher Real Estate Group will then sign a listing agreement to protect what is agreed upon and the terms such as price, commission rates, listing dates and other business for the listing to be presented to the market.

Our marketing program is one of the best in the industry with local, regional, national and even a global reach. We attract buyers, tenants, corporations both large and small from California to New York and internationally. Our program has a multi-prong approach including exposure in up to and sometimes over 15 different digital marketing mediums with reach attracting millions of property seekers. Our marketing program attracts leads that our agents follow up on to qualify potential buyers for our seller’s property.

You can make a full time job out of returning texts, emails and phone calls on real estate. Our extensive experience allows us to have a higher success of filtering out prospects that wouldn’t qualify as a potential buyer for any number of reasons. Our expertise has helped us locate the right buyers for thousands of properties in over 60 years of doing business in this industry.

Gerspacher Real Estate Group has hundreds of connections with recommended sources that can help you through the ownership of your real estate including attorneys, accountants, lenders, contractors and government officials. In order to get a deal completed, it is important for the seller to help the buyer navigate all of the buyer’s inspections, financing & appraisals, and governmental approvals. Our experience allows for a much smoother process of who to talk to, when and how long it is going to take.

It is important to have an intermediary in the negotiation of a commercial real estate transaction. Our agents help with reducing any uncertainty and hesitation a buyer may have before a deal is made. On the seller side our agents can advise and help you through questions you as a seller may have including:

• Should I (property owner) take the deal now and if not, what is the risk in not taking it?
• If I don’t agree now, how long might it be before I get another offer based on the vacancy rate or other opportunities in the market?

We use proposal letter of intents in the negotiation process. Our agents also review other factors such as timing, conditions and economic terms prior to a purchase agreement. Letter of Intents are a great tool to use to help sellers reduce attorney fees if using legal representation as well. The letter ensures a higher chance of a successful agreement without the upfront expense
