Don’t Leave Money on the Table

The Myth of “Knowing All the Buyers”

Some commercial brokers may claim they have access to “all the buyers” and use that as a reason you should list with them. The truth is, there are thousands of prospective buyers out there. These include individual investors, pension funds, family offices, REITs, insurance companies, and even international buyers. At Vaaler Commercial Real Estate, we’ve built a streamlined system and employ cutting-edge tools to ensure that your property reaches the widest possible audience of qualified buyers.

A New Way of Thinking

It’s surprising, but many brokers still avoid working with other brokers or offering to split commissions. Why? Because they want to maximize their earnings by keeping deals in-house. This doesn’t benefit you, the seller. Our approach is a game-changer: we share commissions, every single time. This ensures your property gets maximum visibility, and you receive the best possible results.

Partnering with Brokers to Boost Visibility

We take a proactive approach by partnering with other brokers to expand the marketing reach of your property. Offering an appealing co-broker commission is one of the smartest investments a seller can make. Broad exposure to the right network leads to the best outcomes, and by involving more brokers, we maximize the visibility of your listing. 

Leaving No Option Overlooked

When you list with Vaaler Commercial Real Estate, you can rest assured that we leave no avenue unexplored in marketing your property. While some brokers might delay promoting your listing to see if they can represent both buyer and seller, we make sure your property gets full exposure from day one. We immediately post your listing on our website, CoStar, CREXi, and LoopNet, and distribute it to a targeted list of brokers, investors, and owner-operators via email.

If your strategy only involves putting up a “FOR SALE” sign on the property, you’re likely leaving significant money on the table. With high stakes, taking a more traditional and limited approach could cost you more than a few points in co-broker commissions—the potential for a much higher selling price far outweighs the trade-off.
