5 Critical Steps Before You Sell Your Commercial Property in Florida

If you own a commercial property in Florida and are considering selling, you’re standing at the threshold of a major decision—one that can shape your next chapter, your financial freedom, and your legacy.

With over 25 years of real-estate experience, I’ve guided countless property owners through successful sales.

As a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (SL3642627) with Jalexian Realty and a BBB Accredited Business, I understand how to navigate complex deals with professionalism and integrity.

Here are five critical steps to take before you sell your commercial property in Florida.

1️. Get your legal and ownership structure in order

Before you market your property, verify your ownership entity (LLC, trust, partnership) and ensure you’re authorized to sell. Failing to clarify this can delay or derail your sale.

2️. Conduct a title search and clear any liens

Florida buyers expect transparency. A pre-sale title search reveals hidden liens or easements and lets you resolve them before negotiations begin. Preparation pays off.

3️. Prepare your property for top dollar

Commercial buildings with strong tenant mixes, clear leases, and minimal deferred maintenance command higher offers. Simple steps like fresh paint, landscaping, and clear signage go a long way toward creating a positive first impression.

4️. Price competitively and strategically

Overpricing can turn away qualified buyers. Work with market comps and realistic cap rates to attract serious investors without leaving money on the table.

5️. Market smartly and target the right buyers

Whether your ideal buyer is an investor, developer, or 1031 exchange participant, you need marketing that reaches them directly. As a licensed professional and experienced investor, I can help you position your property for maximum visibility and speed.
