Ready To Sell?
Here’s How We Market Your Property

Strategic Marketing to Maximize Property Exposure

At Friend Commercial Real Estate, we understand the importance of a robust marketing strategy to sell commercial properties effectively. Our comprehensive approach is designed to highlight your property's unique features and attract qualified buyers in Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

Marketing Plans for Maximizing Property Appeal and Buyer Interest

  • Property Profiling: We begin by developing a detailed profile of your property, showcasing its strengths, unique features, and potential benefits to buyers.

  • Targeted Buyer Identification: Utilizing data analytics, we identify potential buyers who are most likely to be interested in your property type and location.

Digital and Traditional Marketing Techniques We Utilize

Digital Marketing

  • Feature your property on leading commercial real estate platforms to reach a wide audience.

  • Leverage platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram to connect with professionals and investors.

  • Send targeted emails to our extensive database of potential buyers, highlighting your property's key attributes.

Traditional Marketing

  • Utilize eye-catching, professional signage at the property location and strategically placed billboards in high-traffic areas to attract attention from local buyers and investors.

  • Distribute press releases to local and regional newspapers or business journals announcing the availability of prime commercial properties to attract attention from a broader audience.

  • Promote your property at industry events and conferences to engage directly with potential buyers.

Selling Commercial Real Estate, Investing, and Off-Market Deals

Selling commercial real estate in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia areas provides valuable opportunities for both sellers and investors. At Friend Commercial Real Estate, we specialize in guiding property owners through the selling process, ensuring they maximize their returns. Whether you're selling office spaces, retail centers, or industrial properties, our team is equipped to connect you with serious buyers. Additionally, we offer access to off-market deals, which provide enhanced privacy and less market competition, leading to quicker sales and better terms for sellers.

  • Off-market deals provide sellers with distinct advantages, such as greater privacy and less market competition.

    For example, a business owner looking to sell their retail space might benefit from an off-market deal by discreetly reaching potential buyers who are already interested in similar properties.

    This approach often results in faster sales and better terms for both parties involved. 

  • Ensuring favorable terms and conditions in transactions is critical to maximizing property value. We represent both tenants and landlords, negotiating lease terms that benefit all parties. 


    For instance, a landlord leasing office space can attract high-quality tenants by offering flexible lease terms and competitive rates. Tenants can negotiate for concessions such as build-out allowances or renewal options, ensuring their needs are met while maintaining property profitability.

  • 1031 exchanges allow investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from a property sale into a similar property. 


    For example, an investor selling a warehouse in Virginia might use a 1031 exchange to purchase a larger industrial facility in Maryland, expanding their portfolio without immediate tax liabilities.

    Our team provides strategic advice on identifying suitable exchange properties and navigating the complex regulations surrounding 1031 transactions, ensuring seamless reinvestment and optimized financial outcomes.
