How long does it take to sell industrial property?
It depends mostly on pricing, the buyer’s due diligence period and how the buyer pays. A well-prepared property with clean leases and records moves faster, and all-cash buyers can usually close sooner than buyers who need a loan. See recent closed sales on the Transactions page.

What are the steps to sell commercial property?
What are the steps to sell commercial property?
A sale runs in five steps: valuation, strategy, preparation, the sale process and closing. We price the property, decide with you whether to list it or approach buyers privately, prepare the offering materials, run the process and negotiate offers, then manage due diligence through closing.

Should I list my property or sell it off-market?
Should I list my property or sell it off-market?
List it when you want the widest pool of buyers and the most competition; sell off-market when privacy, speed or minimal disruption to tenants matter more. Blackline handles both, and you can see examples of each on the Transactions page.

Can I sell a property with tenants in it?
Can I sell a property with tenants in it?

What is a 1031 exchange?
What is a 1031 exchange?
A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds from an investment property sale into like-kind real estate. The rules are strict: you generally must identify replacement property within 45 days and close within 180 days, and a qualified intermediary must hold the funds. Talk with your tax advisor before you sign a contract.

Can I offer seller financing when I sell?
Can I offer seller financing when I sell?
Yes. With seller financing, you act as the lender for part of the price: the buyer pays a down payment at closing and pays you the balance over time under a promissory note, usually secured by a mortgage on the property. It can widen the buyer pool to owner-users and investors who cannot get, or do not want, a full bank loan, and an installment sale may let you spread the taxable gain over the years you receive payments. The main terms to negotiate are the down payment, the length of the note, the interest rate, how the note is secured and the buyer’s credit and experience. Talk with your CPA and a real estate attorney before you agree to terms.
