Allow additional time for tenant improvements and permitting. Our commercial agents streamline this process by identifying suitable properties and negotiating favorable lease terms.
While not legally required, working with a commercial real estate professional is highly recommended. Our agents provide access to off-market properties, accurate comparable sales data, lease negotiation expertise, and insight into zoning and development regulations specific to Canals. Best of all, tenant and buyer representation is typically at no cost to you — the landlord or seller pays the commission.
Key due diligence steps include: property condition assessment (building inspection), environmental site assessment, zoning verification, title search, review of existing leases (for income properties), financial analysis of operating costs, and appraisal. Our commercial team coordinates these investigations and helps you interpret findings to mitigate risk.
