WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

Are you looking to make money through the purchase or sale of real estate? Do you know what makes a particular property a better investment than the property right next door? We do!

BUYERS:
Let SVN Cornerstone guide you through the process to ensure you make a wise investment decision.

You may be looking for immediate cash flow or maybe you’re willing to wait for bigger payouts later. Whatever your situation, we can help.

At SVN Cornerstone we put our money where our mouth is. Most of our advisors have personally purchased their own investment properties and we can help you choose the right one for your needs.

We’ll help you:

• Identify the most viable commercial property listings based on your goals
• Analyze the security of a property’s cash flow
• Evaluate the risk of tenants coming and going frequently
• Determine the intrinsic value (without the business) of the property
• Understand business and demographic trends
• Study traffic counts
• Analyze market and submarket trends
• Analyze your current real estate portfolio
• …and more to help you maximize your investment in commercial real estate.

SELLERS:
Do you have an investment property that you’re ready to sell so that you can free up some cash or purchase a different property? SVN Cornerstone expert advisors can give you a clear picture on your property? We’ll get it on the market within one day of listing and present it nationally to nearly 1000 SVN brokers and our broader network of 65,000 agents and investors around the world. Did you know that almost half of all the money involved in high-dollar commercial real estate transactions in Northern Colorado comes from outside of the area? Smaller, local brokerages just can’t match our huge nation-wide network of investors that are eager to invest here.

More importantly, we pride ourselves on being responsive. We’ll make ourselves available to answer all your questions and get you to the closing table on average, 20% faster than the competition. Plus our advisors take the time needed to help you to understand the strategies that are best for your situation. Here are a few that we’re utilizing regularly:

Seller-Carry: With the current state of the financial system, and banks still clutching their money tightly, seller-carry options have received a lot of attention lately. In fact, over 50% of recent transactions are seller-carry because both buyers and sellers find this option attractive.
1031 Exchanges: Do you know what a 1031 Exchange is and how you can benefit from one? We do! 1031 Exchanges can potentially defer thousands in capital gains taxes. To see if this option will work for you and your goals, please talk with your tax advisor.

Sale-leasebacks: Is your property in need of a revenue boost? How about a sale-leaseback? Sale-leasebacks can help show your property as income-generating so that the valuation reflects positive revenue figures. By agreeing to lease your existing property from the future owner, you’ll likely receive a much higher sale value and move to the closing table sooner than you’d expect. Essentially creating income creates value.

To learn more about these strategies and how they might be right for you, please call one of our advisors today.me day as your free consultation. Imagine meeting with one of our experts in the morning and having your property being actively marketed by the end of the day? That is service worth writing home about. Just a few of the potential marketing vehicles that we regularly use include: direct mail, email, target phone calls, online advertising and more.

Thinking about a 1031 Exchange? Or maybe you need advise on a seller-carry agreement. We’ll coach you through that as well.

It can be frustrating to try and sell your property these days. Even the best locations aren’t selling as quickly as they did a few years ago. But our professional advisors are equipped with the tools that are designed to help you maximize your investment while selling your property as quickly as possible. Our advisors are more than just brokers. We’re professional marketers. Regularly, we market properties using the Internet, online advertising, email, direct mail, and phone calls targeting the right people at the right time.

More than 50% of transactions these days are seller-carry because banks just aren’t lending to buyers like they used to. If you’re able to carry the note, you’ll not only potentially sell your property more quickly, you’ll also get these benefits:

• Lower your taxes by spreading out the capital gains
• Help to get the deal done in times when banks are often unwilling to lend
• Use the asset as your collateral
• Establish steady income so you can cash-flow other investments
• Potentially receive higher interest rates than other investments
• Help the buyer to close faster by eliminating appraisals and the red tape caused by lenders

Landlords:

With so many businesses closing their doors, retail space is widely available. Lease incentives have become the norm and many landlords are paying for operating costs on properties that sit vacant. If you need to find a tenant, our proactive marketing system has proven to produce results even in the worst real estate markets. We regularly use email, direct mail, cold calls and more to market our properties. Plus many of our clients’ properties receive additional visibility on on sites like Costar, Xceligent and IRES.
