And with our extensive database of qualified buyers, investors and affiliated brokers, your commercial real estate property will be marketed aggressively and effectively to sell in the shortest period of time, most in as little as 21 days. Often, our listings are under contract within a matter of days.
The Westwood Difference: Finding the Right Equity Partner
With a database of tens of thousands of active investors from institutional partners in search of a $100 million project, to individual buyers with under $1 million to invest, Westwood will find the right match to get your deal done. No other database has a more complete registry of pension funds, banks, investment management firms, private and public REITs, equity funds, TIC sponsors, insurance companies and high net worth investors in search of investment projects. Whether you want to build investment properties and sell to your partner, or hold long term, we will bring you partners for your existing income properties, as well as any new development or acquisitions. We can even structure a leaseback arrangement or fee simple package, so you can move on to new commercial projects.
The Westwood Marketing System™
This proven method for selling investment property provides each client with an individualized marketing plan backed by unparalleled resources. Upon execution of your exclusive listing agreement, we prepare a comprehensive strategic plan and a marketing brochure of your commercial property and present to you for approval.
Our unique database of buyers
We have spent years compiling one of the most comprehensive databases in the United States of commercial real estate investors. Our database contains over 35,000 private affluent investors who buy retail, office, industrial, multi-family, hospitality and land. No other database has a more complete registry of pension funds, banks, investment management firms, private and public REITs, equity funds, TIC sponsors, insurance companies and most importantly, the hard to find private income investors. Our database has grown steadily over the years as the result of new customer visits to our nationwide website, referrals, networking and a very substantial investment made by Westwood in its New Business Development division. This company division features a large research staff that has been monitoring sales and transaction activity for years. Westwood has never purchased a buyer “list.” An alliance with Westwood is an opportunity to expose your income properties directly to the most appropriate buyers – institutional or private!
Using our technology to pinpoint the right buyer
Our database is maintained using CRM technology, which allows us to manage, expand and categorize our database of investors in a way that few other commercial real estate companies in the industry can. Besides years of compiling our database, we have spent nearly $150,000 in order to provide the most powerful web-based, vertical Customer Relationship Management software out in the market, allowing us to uniquely target investment buyers that are matched for a particular offering.
Fast and Comprehensive Exposure
Within the first week, your income property brochure is distributed to thousands of qualified buyers selected from our proprietary database. You can be sure that your listing will get the most extensive exposure in the industry. Your property will also be posted on all the major internet portals—including Loopnet.com—where investors and buyers search for commercial investment properties.
Featured Listing
With a preferential banner ahead of thousands of non-exclusive listings. This prime exposure will differentiate your listing to thousands of qualified buyers and investors from the multitude of investment property on the market. Our vast database of investors visit our site on a regular basis to learn of our new commercial listings we have to offer; and a link to your income property listing will be prominently displayed on our properties page, providing your listing even further exposure. No other investment property website offers this level of individualized preferred advertising to such a large qualified audience.
Qualified Buyers Only
Many Westwood investors are repeat buyers, a testament to our commitment to service, integrity, and professionalism. All potential buyers must undergo a process of qualification that begins with an extensive pre-screen and reference verification. We substantiate the source of funding and make certain that the buyer and decision making team (including the real estate attorney, CPA, and Qualified Intermediary) fully understand the purchasing details.
A Pro-Active Approach Selling Approach
Active investors are bombarded with investment property opportunities on a daily basis via e-mail and post mail. Much of the time, they fail to recognize the true value of the income property offering. At Westwood, we filter through our massive database of investors and create a short list of who we think are the best buyers for each listing. Our associates then call this list of qualified buyers explaining why our listing warrants their attention. Having a 10 minute phone conversation has a much greater effect than just sending an e-mail or post card.
Advertising Your Property
We will aggressively advertise your commercial property to ensure maximum exposure to potential buyers. As your exclusive advisors, we will match your objectives with the most effective advertising approach to getting your property sold. A multi-tiered advertising plan may include listings in national, regional and local publications, in addition to popular online listing portals such as Loopnet. Best of all, Westwood will absorb 100% of the advertising costs.
Your Property Brochure
We put together a fully comprehensive Class A marketing brochure that is so informative there is really no need for a prospective buyer to visit the property site.
The brochure will include the following information:
- Property Information
- Tenant Overview
- Financial Pro-forma
- Competitive loan quote
- Market Profile
- Tenant Summary
- Overview
- Highlights
- Demographic Information
- Summary
- Photos
- Maps
- Site Plan
Industry Trade Shows
Our Investment Brokers attend the major real estate investment trade shows to network with the numerous investors and professionals who attend. Our presence at these events provides further exposure of our clients’ income property listings. In fact, we’ve found trade shows to be an ideal opportunity to conclude deals.
Listing Time Frame—The Unique 21 Day Listing Solution
Most brokers require six month exclusive listing contracts and tend to limit their marketing efforts when you negotiate a shorter agreement. At Westwood, because the majority of our commercial listings sell within 21 days, our exclusive client agreements are only written for twenty one days. We are committed to devoting all our resources to selling your income property within 21 days as well. In the unlikely event that your income property does not sell within 21 days, Westwood absorbs all advertising and selling expenses and you will owe nothing, nor will you have any further obligation to us. With our self-imposed time constraint, you can be sure that we will pull out all the stops from the very first day to get your property sold.
Keeping you informed
Westwood will provide you with a weekly progress report to update you on the marketing activities we have initiated on your behalf. You will receive detailed information on offers received and how negotiations are progressing to achieve your asking price. You will also receive the names of principals and brokers who have requested information, progress on offers received, refusals, and reasons for not buying. Our objective is to sell your investment property for the price you want in the quickest possible time.
