A useful perspective
Buying for your business or for income?
An owner-occupier may prioritize access, layout and room to grow. An investor may focus on tenancy, expenses and future leasing potential. Tell us which objective matters most so we can shape the search around it.
Good questions. Clear next steps.
Before your next move.
What should I prepare before searching?
Bring your preferred areas, approximate budget, target size and timeline. If you are buying for your business, include your intended use, parking, loading and power requirements.
What does due diligence mean?
It is the investigation of a property before you commit on the agreed terms. The questions may cover condition, permitted use, tenancy, financing and other matters specific to the property. Your professional advisers help determine the appropriate checks.
Can a property suit my business but still need work?
Yes. Layout, equipment, accessibility and fit-out requirements deserve attention early. We help identify questions for the appropriate specialists so you can consider the space alongside the work it may require.

Good questions. Clear next steps.
Before your next move.
What information should I have ready?
Start with the property address, size, current use, occupancy and your ideal timing. For an income property, available leases, rent information and operating expenses can help buyers understand the opportunity.
Should I make improvements before selling?
Start with a conversation before committing to work. The right preparation depends on the property, likely buyers and your budget. We can discuss presentation priorities and where specialist advice may be useful.
How will we decide on an asking price?
We discuss comparable market activity, property characteristics, tenancy and your objectives. Asking prices are only one part of the picture; the strategy should also consider relevant completed transactions and current competition.

What should I submit?
Provide the property address, current use, approximate size and whether you are considering selling or leasing. Add your timeline and any other details you would like us to consider.
Is this a formal appraisal?

Can we discuss a property that is currently leased?
Yes. Let us know its occupancy and the documents available. Tenancy details can be relevant to a sale or leasing strategy. Avoid sending confidential tenant information through the initial enquiry form.
Commercial Leasing
The right space. The right leasing plan.
Looking for a place to grow your business, or a tenant for your property? We help tenants and landlords navigate commercial leasing across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley.
A leasing strategy starts with the space and the tenants it can serve. We help present your property's strengths and manage the path from inquiry to agreement.
Review the property, asking terms and target tenants.
Prepare a focused listing and marketing approach.
Coordinate inquiries, tours and prospective tenant information.
Support lease negotiations and communication through the process.
Two spaces with the same base rent can have different total costs. Ask what is included, which expenses are additional, and how costs may change during the term. Fit-out, moving and utilities also belong in your budget.
Leasing, explained
A few terms worth knowing.
Base rent & additional rent
Base rent is the charge for occupying the space. Additional rent covers other costs assigned to you by the lease, which may include property taxes, insurance and shared maintenance. Check exactly what is included.
Triple net (NNN)
A lease structure where the tenant typically pays base rent plus a share of property taxes, insurance and operating or maintenance costs. The lease defines the actual responsibilities.
Tenant improvements
Changes that adapt a space for your business. A landlord may negotiate a contribution toward the work; confirm the amount, approvals, payment conditions and who owns the improvements.
Renewal options
An option may allow you to extend the lease under specified conditions. Notice deadlines and the method for setting the new rent matter—renewal is not automatic.
General information only. Your lease wording determines your obligations; review it with your legal adviser before signing.
A conversation is a good place to start.

Preparing commercial property for sale: build your information package
A clear information package gives prospective buyers a practical starting point. Before marketing a commercial property in Metro Vancouver or the Fraser Valley, organise the records that explain what is being sold, how it operates and what still needs checking.
Put the guidance to work
For property owners preparing to sell: organise a consistent information package before marketing, and keep a record of what has been verified, requested or updated.
For municipal records, identify the municipality responsible for the address. Other records may come from the owner, strata corporation, relevant registry or advisers. A strata unit, tenanted building and development site each need a different document list.
1. Define what is included
Start with the legal property description and a plain explanation of the offering. Is it one strata lot, several lots or an entire building? Identify parking, storage, equipment and other items you intend to include. Separate the real estate from any business or inventory that is not part of the proposed sale.
Keep an issues list beside the document index. An unanswered question is easier to manage when it has an owner and a next step. Do not describe a feature as approved simply because it has been used that way.
2. Organise operating and building records
Gather available plans, property expenses, maintenance records and reports. For leased space, collect executed leases and amendments and reconcile the rent summary against the agreements. Mark estimates clearly and distinguish recurring operating costs from one-off work.
Use consistent file names and dates. An old quotation should not look like a current construction estimate. Keep personal tenant information and confidential business material out of a public marketing folder.
Compare the details consistently
Organise the package around buyer questions

Property basics
Address, plans, measured areas and current use.
Record the source and date; explain differences between documents.
Occupancy
Current tenancy summary and available lease records.
Separate current arrangements from proposed changes and protect confidential information.
Operating records
Available income, expense and maintenance records.
Keep periods consistent and distinguish actual figures from estimates.
Condition and work
Available inspection, repair and improvement records.
Identify missing information and the person who can supply it.
A practical example
An illustrative example—not a client transaction: a brochure and an older plan show different floor areas. Rather than choose the larger number, record both sources and arrange clarification before publishing a definitive figure. A tidy package should expose an unanswered question, not conceal it.
3. Resolve questions before launching
Review gaps with the relevant adviser. A missing approval, unexplained expense or outdated plan may affect how a buyer evaluates the property. Decide whether to obtain updated information, explain the limitation or price the uncertainty into the strategy.
Ask your real estate professional and lawyer about disclosure obligations. A tidy presentation is useful; it does not replace accurate disclosure or a buyer’s own investigation.
Questions for your working notes
What is the source and date of each key property fact?
Which documents are current, and which need updating?
Who will answer questions about tenancy, condition and operating records?
Which material should be shared only through an agreed review process?
4. Control the handover of information
Prepare a short public overview and a separate due-diligence folder for appropriately qualified prospects. Track document versions and keep a record of information supplied. Set a process for property access that respects existing occupiers.
Before an offer arrives, identify who can respond to legal, accounting, building and lease questions. That preparation can reduce avoidable confusion once conditions and deadlines are negotiated.
When to pause and investigate
Different marketing documents describe the same property inconsistently.
A projected figure is presented alongside actual results without a clear label.
A missing document is treated as confirmation that no issue exists.
Before moving to the next stage
Before launching, agree which facts are ready for marketing and how outstanding questions will be handled. A complete-looking folder is less useful than a clear index showing the source, status and owner of each item.
Prepare for the questions that follow
Once the package is organised, review how price, conditions and completion requirements will be compared when offers arrive.
