FAQ’s
What types of commercial properties can I search in Calgary on this page?
Typically retail bays/plazas, office, industrial, land, and investment assets (availability depends on the feed and listing data).
Should I buy as an owner-user or as an investor?
Owner-user focuses on operational fit (use, layout, access, parking, long-term business needs). Investor focuses on income quality (tenant strength, lease terms, expenses, future resale). The best path depends on your goal and timeline.
What should I review before I book showings?
Use, zoning fit, location quality, price expectations, basic lease information (if tenanted), and a quick reality-check on income/expenses so you’re not touring deals that can’t work financially.
Why do some commercial deals “look cheap” but perform poorly?
Common reasons: weak tenant demand, poor lease structure, high hidden operating costs, functional obsolescence, restrictive use/zoning issues, or resale liquidity problems.
What are the most important numbers to verify?
Income, expenses, NOI, lease terms and recoveries, tenant quality (if applicable), and assumptions behind the pro forma. If the numbers can’t be verified cleanly, the risk goes up.
Do you help with off-market or coming-soon opportunities?
Yes, when possible. The priority is still fit + numbers—off-market only matters if it’s actually a good deal.
How long does a commercial purchase usually take?
Timelines vary by asset type, financing, and conditions. The best approach is to set your target timeline first, then structure the offer conditions to match it.
Can you help if I’m not sure what I’m looking for yet?
Yes. A short strategy call can clarify your target property type, budget range, and the fastest path to a clean shortlist.
