👻 Haunted by Vacancy? How to Exorcise Your Empty Warehouse

Is your industrial listing starting to feel… cursed?

No calls...no tours...just cobwebs and crickets? 👻

Before you call the Ghostbusters, let’s talk strategy. Because vacancy isn’t a death sentence, it’s a branding opportunity.

🕸️ 1. Don’t Let Cobwebs Be Your Only Tenant

First impressions matter. If your space looks abandoned, buyers will treat it like a ghost town.

• Power wash the exterior

• Add fresh signage (bonus points for bold fonts and lighting)

• Sweep out the shadows—literally and metaphorically

🧙‍♀️ 2. Cast a Spell with Killer Marketing

Generic flyers are the graveyard of good deals.

• Use high-impact visuals (think: aerial shots, branded overlays, bold color palettes)

• Tell a story: “From haunted to high-performing”

• Highlight zoning, access, and hidden perks—don’t assume buyers know the magic

🦇 3. Banish the ‘Bad Fit’ Vibe

If your space screams “only for manufacturers,” you’re missing out.

• Reposition it as flex, maker, or creative space

• Use comps and case studies to show transformation potential

• Offer layout ideas that spark imagination

🎃 Final Word: Vacancy Isn’t Scary—Stagnation Is

Your space isn’t haunted. It’s waiting for the right story, the right strategy, and the right buyer. And let’s be real, pulling that off takes time, research, branding, and hustle. That’s why you hire me. I don’t just list properties, I resurrect them.

Let’s turn that tombstone into a sold sign.

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

💼 Selling Smart: How to Position Your Commercial Property for Maximum Impact

Selling commercial real estate isn’t just about listing a building, it’s about telling a story, solving a problem, and attracting the right buyer at the right time. Whether you’re offloading a warehouse, a retail strip, or a quirky flex space, here’s how to make your property stand out in today's market.

🧠 Know Your Buyer Archetypes

Different properties attract different business models. Are you marketing to:

• Owner-operators (think: gym owners, mechanics, bakers)?

• Investors looking for stable income?

• Developers with vision and zoning fluency?

Tailoring your pitch to the right audience is half the battle. We help sellers craft listings that speak directly to buyer goals.

🛠️ Prep Like a Pro

Before you list, make sure your property is ready to shine:

• Clean it up inside and out. First impressions matter.

• Gather your docs: site plans, zoning info, utility data, lease history.

• Highlight the potential: unused square footage, expansion options, or creative reuse ideas.

Bonus points if you’ve got a Canva-powered flyer or branded pitch deck. (I can help with that.)

📍 Location Is More Than a Map Pin

Don’t just say “great location”, show it. Is your property near a major highway, a trail system, a school, or a growing downtown? These details matter to buyers who want visibility, foot traffic, or community connection.

🧾 Pricing Isn’t Just Math, It’s Strategy

Overpricing can stall your listing. Underpricing can leave money on the table. We help sellers analyze comps, market trends, and buyer psychology to find the sweet spot and build in room for negotiation.

🧨 Bust the Myths

• “It’s just a warehouse, it’ll sell itself.” Nope! Buyers need vision.

• “Zoning can’t be changed.” Not true! Variances and overlays exist.

• “I don’t need marketing.” In this market? You absolutely do.
