How far in advance should I begin preparing a commercial property for a future sale?

Selling & Exiting
Ideally, preparation begins one to three years before you intend to market the property. This allows time to strengthen occupancy, complete deferred maintenance, improve lease quality, organize financial records, evaluate capital improvements, and position the property more favorably for prospective buyers.
The highest sale prices are often achieved long before the property ever reaches the market.
Preparation creates options.
