4 Biggest Myths in Industrial Real Estate
1. It doesn't matter what agent you choose.
It absolutely matters what agent you choose to market and sell
your Miami warehouse or Hialeah warehouse.
Warehouse buyer requirements to close are many and qualified buyers
are not easy to find. There's a lot of competing property on the
market fighting to be in front of the line for these qualified buyers.
You need a knowledgeable commercial real estate team to out-market
the competition and pro-actively sell your warehouse to get the
most qualified buyers through your doors and not the competition.
After obtaining a buyer, you need an agent that is knowledgeable
to foresee problems and prevent them from the onset of the transaction.
Ask to see your agent's credentials not just their marketing materials.
All Hialeah Industrial agents hold a 4 year degree in Real Estate
offering the highest caliber commercial brokerage firm in the market.
2. Overpricing your property at first doesn't hurt.
At least you tried right?
No! Other buyer brokers in the market, your warehouse's best selling
team, only make money if their buyers buy. As the chances are significantly
reduced they will make a deal on a warehouse whose price doesn't
meet market expectations, their time is better spent on properties
with more realistic asking prices. This disincentive causes a major
portion of the potential buyer pool for your warehouse to look at
competing properties first, if not only.
I can always change my warehouse listing price later, right?
Technically, Yes. But, you will loose the initial excitement that
comes with a fresh new listing on the market. When your Miami warehouse
is new on the market it receives the most attention by both the
co-operating broker community as well as buyers in the area. When
it's old news, buyers could have already signed somewhere else or
made a mental note that your property was too expensive.
In addition, when you finally change your price, depending on how long it was
on the market, your Days on Market becomes higher than the market average.
This results in low-ball offers because of a poor quality perception.
Let's say your tolerance for risk is pretty high. Despite knowing
the pitfalls of over-pricing, you believe the reward potential may
still be high enough to warrant a possibly lower value and definite
sacrifice of market positioning for your Miami Warehouse. Let's say
you receive a full price contract. The transaction will still require
an appraisal and the deal falls apart. Weeks later, back to square
one. Lesson: price right the first time.
3. You should select the agent who says they can get
you the highest price.
No, you should choose your real estate agent based on their credentials,
market value is a separate issue. Once you select your agent, based
on their credentials, then you should talk about the appropriate
price and contributing factors.
4. Lower commission means a higher net.
It sounds logical, but it's not always true. You get what you pay
for. A lot of sellers like the idea of a discounted commission until
they learn that the salesperson won't do much marketing, advertising,
or negotiating. This means you might not reach your ideal outcome
on the sale. Once you go into detail on how a brokerage commission
is split, you realize why it is near impossible to have a knowledgeable
market expert dedicate the time necessary for a quick sale, at the
highest market price, for a discount commission.
