Capitol Commercial Real Estate and Business Sales


 

First Impressions of a Business or Property
 
When we start our evaluation of a business, one of the first things we look at is the housekeeping of the business or property. It is just an experienced point of view after doing this for so many years. Simply put if the project is dirty, or as they say, "it has a lot of deferred maintenance" it tells us there are probably more problems going on that we're not being told about. Before we go to market, we give the seller a checklist of items that they need to fix, repair, or clean if they expect to get Fair Market Value for the project.

If you think about it, why should a buyer have to clean, fix, hose out, or whatever what you left behind -- especially if they paid you a good price for the business or property? A great comparison is if you were going to sell your car wouldn't you wash it, detail it, make sure it's in good running condition to hopefully get a good price for it? That is why when we see a shaky project -- even if it is making money -- it's in the seller's best interests to do everyone a favor and clean it up. This is only fair. You only get to make "one" first impression.

Testimonials!
 
"I have bought and sold several businesses in the Sacramento area and have worked with as many brokers in the past. This time when selling my business with real estate I wanted to work with the best. I interviewed several well known brokers in the area before choosing Doug and Nina.

I could not be more impressed! They found a perfect match for my listing within a few weeks. During the process we ran into several obstacles (out of their control) with the project, but they continued to push forward with confidence, enthusiasm, and a level of commitment that truly surprised me. Their communication with both me and the buyer throughout the process was incredible. I was always in the loop, and they were always available to answer any questions when I called.

Doug and Nina are a top-notch, professional outfit that produce results. I would strongly recommend them to anyone trying to find the right business broker to work with in the Sacramento Region."

"If it wasn't for Doug Perry we wouldn't have found our great business. It has been everything we had imagined and truly appreciate him making it so easy for us."

Victor Sr. & Victor Jr.
Roseville, CA


I had been considering selling my trucking company for quite some time and buy a bigger business. After I interviewed several different brokers I chose Doug Perry and Nina Kovalyov to represent me. They were very honest, educated me on the market conditions but more importantly prepared me for the business I wanted to buy. By following Doug's advice in just my first year of owning my new business my income has shot up over $120k more than the previous owner. After working with both Doug and Nina over several months they earned my sincere respect for their great advice, great service, and proved themselves as real professionals. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their business or are considering buying a business.

What's Happened Since Y2K?

by Doug Perry
Broker, Capitol Commercial Real Estate

 

What's happened since Y2K when we were told the sky was falling? Well we all got through that event with some people simply being very embarrassed. Then you had the fear mongers telling everyone they had to pay out countless dollars to make sure their computers didn't crash.That was quite a time.


picture of Doug Perry, commercial real estate agent and manager

Then our country experienced a horrible setback caused by September 11th and the paralyzing affect it had on our psyche and financial markets. Like the yellow ribbons and American flags displayed across our country, we closed ranks and renewed our faith in our ability to overcome terrible events.


We then moved into the largest financial boom our economy has had since the 1920's thanks in a large part to the low interest, easily accessible equity lines that were available to homeowners. With property values at the time sky rocketing, the banks took the point of view they had nothing to lose by loaning up to 100% of the appraised value.They knew in another two months the property would continue to go up even more. We all know the rest of the story from 2003 to the latter part of 2007 as we hit the top of the rollercoaster.

Here comes the bad news: like everything that goes up, the market would eventually level off and begin its correction path downward. As the market began to stagnate, people realized they were unable to pay for these huge mortgages and the foreclosures started to mount. Fortunately, fast forwarding to 2009 the residential market has bottomed out and is back to more affordable prices. Most of the residential sales in 2008 and 2009 have been largely from the short sale and foreclosure market. The rest of the market has been slow to restart. We are seeing a little glimmer of new construction starts here and there, but it will take up to another year to eighteen months before we see new subdivisions come back. This is a shame because these are trained craftsmen who build our homes and will be stuck in the unemployment lines until things finally pick up.

What this means to buyers is that you can find some very good deals out there in both residential and commercial real estate. For the business opportunity market, it is also heating up by people deciding to take their futures into their own hands by buying a business versus living in the fear of whether their employer is going to lay them off.

The silver lining to all of this is as Americans we are industrious, hard working, and will do whatever it takes to provide for our families. In spite of the stress everyone is feeling today, the people we talk to are still hopeful about their futures and things to come both personally and professionally. If we can help make your dreams come true whether by selling your business or helping you buy a business of your own, we are here to help.

Warm Regards! Doug Perry & Nina Kovalyov,
