Commercial sale preparation
Make the property’s evidence, economics and remaining obligations understandable to buyers.
Use this as a working agenda. Confirm transaction-specific requirements with your advisers. Checkmarks are temporary and reset when the page reloads.
Identify timing, desired proceeds, debt constraints and reinvestment considerations.
Prepare consistent historical statements, current collections, expense details and adjustment support.
Collect complete agreements, amendments, notices, deposits, guarantees and critical dates.
Organize scopes, invoices, warranties, permits, engineering reports and remaining obligations.
Confirm prepayment mechanics, release prices, lender approvals and timing.
Identify rollover, capex, environmental, legal-use and financial issues before marketing.
Discuss likely buyers, pricing evidence, marketing approach, confidentiality and fees.
Use controlled access for financial, legal and tenant records; keep confidential information off public pages.
Include debt, transaction costs, credits, prorations and adviser-reviewed tax considerations.
Assign responsibility for questions, inspections, estoppels, third-party reports and deadlines.
Provide final accounting, deposits, records, contracts and tenant communications at the agreed transfer.
Review ownership approval, partner rights, lender releases, lease restrictions and any contractual purchase or first-refusal rights with counsel before committing to sale terms.
Track offer conditions, diligence, notices, deposit handling, title objections and closing obligations under the executed documents. Distinguish a signed contract from an unconditional funded closing.
