Commercial Brokerage Due Diligence in the Sale of Real Estate
Jan. 21 & 23 - 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
(Complimentary recordings Included with registration)
|
|
This program is geared to the commercial real estate broker, covering the proper due diligence of the purchase or sale of commercial real estate. Such due diligence items include environmental, physical, financial and legal considerations. We will detail the “nitty-gritty” issues that many have long forgotten or have never performed. How can we enhance the selling prospects of our listings in the best interest of our clients? What are the deal killers that can easily be avoided and save your client-buyer time and money? What are the essentials and advanced homework that a commercial broker should conduct and counsel his/her client with a selling package? What information can a listing broker perform to save the client from embarrassment?
We want to expose the pitfalls and the contingencies in the drafting of an offer for buyers. The course material will also help to understand the various underwriting of bank financing and the information that a lender would require in a loan package. A “take-home” due diligence checklist will be included.
