What questions should I ask before making an offer on commercial property?

Before making an offer, it’s helpful to understand why the property is being sold, how it has been used, whether there are existing leases, what operating expenses exist, and whether any known issues could affect future ownership or operations. Buyers should also consider financing, zoning, insurance, and long-term maintenance requirements.

Asking thoughtful questions early often leads to better decisions later. Every transaction presents different circumstances, so the information that’s most important may vary depending on the property.

I’d be happy to help you identify the questions worth asking before moving forward with a commercial purchase.
