Transaction Support: Your Guide to Closing Complex Retail Deals

Buying or selling retail property? It’s tough out there.

Most deals fall apart. Not because of price. But because of poor execution.

We’re here to change that.

Before You Even List

Get Your House in Order

Don’t list yet. First, fix these things:

  • Title problems? Solve them now.
  • Old survey? Update it.
  • Messy records? Organize them.
  • Broken stuff? Repair it.

Why? Because surprises kill deals.

Sellers: Be Ready

Smart sellers win before they start.

How? Pack a killer info package. Answer buyer questions before they ask. Show you’re serious.

Buyers trust prepared sellers. They move faster. They pay more.

Buyers: Have a Plan

Want to win? Plan ahead.

Line up your money. Find backup properties. Know your limits.

When the perfect property shows up, you’ll be ready. No rushed mistakes. No regrets.

Finding the Right Deal

Make Your Property Pop

A boring listing? Nobody cares.

Tell a story instead. Show the upside. Be honest about problems.

Good brokers know the secret. They don’t just list. They create buzz. They bring multiple offers.

The Hidden Market

The best deals? They’re never listed.

How do you find them? Through people who know people.

Good advisors have these connections. They hear about deals early. Before the crowd.

No bidding wars for buyers. Quiet exits for sellers. Everyone wins.

Let’s Make a Deal

More Than Money

Price is just one piece. These matter too:

  • When do we close?
  • What are the conditions?
  • How much deposit?
  • What if something goes wrong?

Rookies fight over price. Pros know better. They win on terms.

Problems? Get Creative

Deal stuck? Don’t quit.

Need more money? Maybe the seller can help with financing. Environmental issues? There’s insurance for that. Tenant troubles? Write better agreements.

Good advisors find solutions. They save deals others lose.

Check Everything Twice

Keep the Wheels Turning

Due diligence is like juggling. Lots of balls in the air:

  • Inspectors
  • Lawyers
  • Accountants
  • Environmental experts

Drop one? Deal dies.

Good managers keep everything moving. They hit deadlines. They catch problems early.

Tough Deals Need Extra Love

Some deals are harder:

  • Buying multiple properties at once
  • Environmental messes
  • Major fix-up jobs

These need more time. More attention. More expertise.

Don’t go it alone.

The Final Sprint

Between Contract and Closing

This is when things go wrong.

Tenants cause drama. Banks change their minds. Title issues pop up.

But here’s the thing. Pros expect problems. They have backup plans. They keep people calm.

After You Close

The deal’s done. But the work isn’t.

Tell the tenants what’s happening. Switch over the vendors. Keep the income flowing.

Good advisors don’t vanish at closing. They help you start right.

Your Deal. Done Right.
