Equestrian Property

The specific usage is an important consideration, aside from the obvious which would be the size of the estate. Another consideration would be if the local county allows for additional facilities to be built, should the need arise. There are many aspects an experienced Equestrian Realtor will understand as important to consider on their client’s behalf. Climate considerations, the animal’s needs, and whether there’s a chance of flooding on the property, condition of land and paddocks or arena, are just some important details. There are layers of complexities involved, that a true Equestrian Realtor will intuitively understand for every type of operation.

Commercial Property

Setting and location in this instance take a backseat to your objective. Considerations can be starkly different if your purpose is purely as a landlord, as opposed to occupying the commercial premises. Obviously, proximity to your home will be a factor if you are seeking to occupy, as will any specific needs for your everyday running of the business, and requirements of the particular industry. As a landlord your main considerations will be seeking a desirable area that will ensure high volume of traffic, and visibility for your tenants. The layout of premises themselves while playing a part in the decision making are not always a priority, since very often changes can be made. Most importantly one should consult a professional realtor with commercial expertise, that knows what questions you need answered, from your town planner and local county.

Business Broking

Looking to relocate your business or deciding to buy one entails many considerations and decisions. Location, demographics, and prospective premises are only part of the equation. A lot has to do with how ready and able you are to make this move. Assistance from an experienced business broker with commercial expertise is invaluable. A professional will help you assess your situation more clearly, and provide helpful information, so you can ascertain what you need to consider and prepare. They will work diligently to provide you with your best option and secure the location and business that best fits into your plan. We have the experience to assist you with a professional profile and company background brief.

1. What is the most important first step?

Having that important approval letter from a lender puts you in the driver’s seat when competing for a property. Don’t be fooled sellers will be more inclined to negotiate with a qualified buyer. Speaking to a lender first will also save you the hassle and stress of trying to get finance in a timely manner before the closing. The peace of mind in knowing exactly what you are approved for, can save you from frustration of looking at the wrong properties.

2. Do I need a Realtor to look for property?

Why would you avoid a service that costs you nothing? Sellers pay commission not the buyer. The realtor is a wealth of information on what is out there and they know their areas
very well, they also negotiate for a living. Things often not disclosed by sellers, are easily spotted by experienced realtors. Even when you walk into a newly built community, don’t forget those friendly agents work for the developer not you. The realtor knows the right questions and how to get you the best upgrades for your budget. They also know the background on the project and prior deals that were being offered.

3. What should I consider when looking for a Global Realtor?

It is imperative to consult a reputable real estate professional with the right experience and contacts in the location of interest. Majority of nationwide real estate firms, will simply refer you to a franchise owner in another country, should their franchise exist. If their franchise does not exist there, they will rely on global memberships and seek out an individual. However, many high calibre professionals are not even listed because they prefer to do business by contacts only, and affiliated offices. The considerations are many when thinking of investing in another country, but it should never be daunting if you receive the right guidance.

4. What is important for a Commercial investment?

Commercial is generally considered higher-risk due to typical periods of vacancy, but it does potentially offer greater returns. It is important to consider what industries are hardest
hit. It’s also important to understand the market you are buying into, the location, the tenancy, and the nature of that business. Many businesses are bounding back having adapted during Covid-19, whereas others are clearly still struggling.

5. Why should I list with a Realtor?

Digital promotions and marketing aside, a dedicated realtor is someone who will offer support in a variety of ways that far extend the basic function of listing your property on MLS. Selling and promoting your home, in order to achieve the best value in the market can
sometimes be extremely challenging. For any number of extenuating circumstances, a professional realtor earns their commission for hours of dedicated hard work. From sourcing tradespeople, to interviewing potential interest, and even when necessary rolling up the sleeves and helping the homeowner prepare the home for display. Their assistance includes shielding their client from time wasters, following up potential interest, and negotiating with offers. All this while staying alert to market conditions and updating their client with the latest information, in order to best make decisions on pricing and timing.
