Buying Commercial Real Estate in Winnipeg

What to Know

If you have ever purchased property before, you know just how complicated the process can be. When dealing with a commercial sale, there is even more documentation, assessments, valuations and it is important for buyers to understand exactly what they are getting into. 

Working with an experienced REALTOR® means understanding the property itself, the surrounding area and the viability of a particular listing for your business. 

The main types of commercial real estate property are:

  • Offices
  • Industrial Buildings
  • Hospitality
  • Retail Storefronts
  • Multi-Family Residential Spaces (5 Units or More)

Each of these property types has a specific purpose and that means unique needs. For example, industrial buildings will come along with environmental and zoning laws. There isn’t much point in purchasing a property if you can’t run your business on it due to zoning. In the case of retail stores it is important to understand the demographics of the area, as well as purchasing habits and a local REALTOR® will know these facts. 

When working with an experienced Winnipeg REALTOR® you won’t be shown just any old property! Dino Stepic does the due diligence for you to ensure that you aren’t wasting your time, energy or resources. By creating a meticulous list of wants/needs for your ideal commercial space, your REALTOR® will study each and every available listing, singling out the ones that will work for you and fall inside your budget.

Looking to Lease Commercial Property in Winnipeg?

Let Dino Stepic Help!

For startup businesses who are looking to secure office space or manufacturing centres but aren’t in the market to buy a commercial property, leasing is an excellent option. When taking out a residential lease the most important factor is the cost of a months rent. A commercial lease on the other hand has a lot more moving parts.

For example, it is important to understand the difference between a gross lease, base rent and a triple net lease. While each of these have to do with monthly payments, they are all very different. If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry! Your favourite Winnipeg REALTOR® is here to help you navigate the terms and terminology. 

With a base rent lease, the tenant is responsible for all incidental expenses like tax, insurance and utilities on top of their monthly payments. For those businesses with fluctuating cash flow, this may pose problems with budgeting over time. A triple net lease, on the other hand includes the cost of base rent and all other incidentals so you have to worry about one fee every month, all in.


Why Do I Need a Commercial REALTOR®?

Working alongside a reliable and experienced commercial REALTOR® ensures that you are asking the right questions and your interests are being protected.

Market Knowledge

Having in-depth knowledge allows commercial REALTORS® to provide accurate assessments and connect buyers with the right property to meet the unique needs of clients and their business. Experienced agents will also often have an inside track on new and upcoming listings that might not have hit the market yet.

Network/Resources

Experienced commercial REALTORS® often have extensive networks and connections with other local industry professionals. These can include lenders, appraisers, contractors and more. Accessing this extensive network means being able to navigate the purchase process easily, from start to finish.

Reduce Risk

Commercial properties are subject to regulations in a way that homes just aren’t. Financial needs, zoning, and even operation allowances can limit your options. There isn’t much point in touring properties that aren’t zoned for food service if you are hoping to open a restaurant. Working with a commercial realtor helps you perform due diligence, check the eligibility of a space and review of lease agreements where necessary. This in-depth industry knowledge helps to save time, mitigate risk and maximize your investments.

Negotiate on Your Behalf

Negotiation requires a strategic approach. An experienced negotiator will help to secure the best sales price or leasing parameters, maximizing ROIs for clients.

Save Time & Reduce Costs

Realtors have extensive market knowledge, networks and resources that make a complex process simple and relatively quick. Resources make it possible to streamline the process by identifying suitable properties, scheduling showings and guiding clients throughout the sale from start to finish.

Sell Your Commercial Property or Lease Out Space

Owning commercial property is a great way to expand an investment portfolio but maintaining a building comes with a lot of responsibility and moving parts. If the time has come to think about selling your property or you are hoping to lease it out, it is important to have all of the facts before signing on the dotted line.


SELLING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE: HOW A REALTOR® CAN HELP

It takes months of preparation to ready your property for sale and that is before you ever interview a prospective buyer or set a sale price.

Initial Consultations

Let’s discuss what goals you have for your property and whether or not you are better off selling or leasing commercial space. I will lay out all of the options in a clear way so you can make an informed decision.

Discuss Property Details

When selling property it is important to note whether or not the land itself is included. Managing the structure means looking into the last time permits were done, when the roof was last updated, the windows last replaced and any other updates/modifications that were done.

Asset Management

When valuing a commercial property an experienced REALTOR® will consider market value and income value. This will give both sellers and agents an idea of the complete value of a property. From here, I will work with clients to create a pricing strategy that suits their needs. If you want to sell fast, I’ll put together an aggressive sales pitch designed to sell fast. If you aren’t concerned with the timeframe let’s aim for a more selective approach to bids.

Market Your Property

I will make sure that your commercial space is listed with great photos, informative content that showcases all of the positives of your property. Video footage and social media posts will get the word out about your listing to my network of existing clients, other REALTORS® and prospective buyers.

Touring

When selling a property a REALTOR® will go through all of the fine details of a property with potential buyers, as well as their commercial real estate broker. Prospective buyers are thoroughly vetted and finances are confirmed before any tours are scheduled.

Negotiate

In real estate, buyer wants are much different from seller wants. As your representative I will negotiate with potential buyers to achieve the highest sales price and best terms for you.

Due Diligence

Research and assessments of any property happen at the beginning and end of the sale process. Following a confirmation of funds and the drafting of a purchase agreement your REALTOR® and an experienced broker will review terms and finalize a list of high priority tasks and a timetable that meets your needs.
