Selling a business or commercial property in Ontario requires strategy, especially amid 2026’s stabilizing market. As a specialist with Nook Realty in Bowmanville and Durham Region, here are key tips.
1. Prepare Thoroughly
Organize financials (three years of statements), leases, and operations. For properties, address maintenance and obtain reports (environmental, structural).
2. Value Accurately
Use income, sales comparison, and cost approaches. Local comparables in Durham show trends favoring well-positioned assets.
3. Choose the Right Representation
Select a REALTOR® experienced in commercial/business sales who understands RECO rules and provides the Commercial Information Guide.
4. Maximize Marketing
Professional media is crucial. Through Castle Real Estate Marketing, create compelling photos, videos, virtual tours, and targeted ads to attract serious buyers quickly.
5. Target the Right Buyers
Network for off-market interest; highlight growth factors like Durham’s logistics and education sectors.
6. Negotiate Strategically
Be flexible on terms while protecting interests. Involve lawyers for asset vs. share sales.
7. Close Efficiently
Ensure compliance and smooth transitions.
In 2026, with potential rate relief boosting confidence, well-marketed properties sell faster. My dual expertise in real estate and media gives sellers a distinct advantage.
