Start a commercial property sale with a clear understanding of your goals and the information buyers will need. Lama Commercial Real Estate works with owners considering the sale of commercial property in Ithaca and Tompkins County.
Prepare for an initial property discussion
Share the property address, property type, ownership contact, occupancy, and desired timing. Tell us whether your priority is a particular schedule, an orderly transition for your business, or another goal. These details help frame the discussion before a marketing approach is chosen.
Gather useful property information
- Current photographs, floor plans, and a description of the building and site.
- Available lease information and occupancy details.
- Operating records and known responsibilities for expenses.
- Information about improvements, maintenance, and known property issues.
- Your preferred arrangements for access and property tours.
For an initial inquiry, provide a general summary. Discuss how confidential records should be shared with our team before sending tenant details, financial records, or other sensitive information.
Discuss pricing and marketing goals
Explain your expectations and ask what property information and market evidence will inform the pricing discussion. Talk through how the property will be presented, how inquiries will be handled, and how tours can be coordinated with tenants or business operations. Specific representation arrangements and services should be agreed with the brokerage.
Keep sale information clear and current
A useful property presentation distinguishes the building being offered from individual spaces, explains the information available to buyers, and keeps its status up to date. Our property listings include both marketed properties and clearly labeled past examples. The 405 N. Tioga Street profile, for example, is marked sold; it is not an offer of current availability or a prediction of your property’s outcome.
