Investment acquisition
Sourcing income properties that match your return profile. Pro-forma stress-tested against realistic vacancy, capex, and rate scenarios.

How I work
Four commitments to every commercial client.
Confidential by default
Sensitive sales — especially business sales — start under NDA. Your name, address, and operating details don't reach the open market unless you say so.
Evidence over salesmanship
Every list price and every offer recommendation comes with the comparable transactions, cap-rate calculation, and assumptions behind it. You see the math.
Vetted buyer network
Qualified investors and operators contacted directly when appropriate. Quiet listings before MLS, when that protects your interests.
Connected partners
A working network of commercial lawyers, accountants, valuators, environmental consultants, and lenders — brought in when needed, on your terms.
Featured opportunities

Common questions, answered honestly.
What's the difference between an asset sale and a share sale?
In an asset sale, the buyer purchases specific assets of the business (equipment, fit-out, inventory, goodwill) — but not the corporate entity itself. In a share sale, the buyer purchases the shares of the company, taking on the entire entity including its liabilities and tax history. Asset sales are common for small and mid-market business sales; share sales are common where corporate tax attributes or contracts are valuable. Your accountant and lawyer will weigh in on which structure fits.
How is a commercial property valued?
Three approaches: income (cap rate applied to net operating income — most common for investment property), direct comparison (recent sales of comparable properties), and cost (land value plus replacement cost less depreciation — used mostly for special-purpose buildings). I'll typically build all three and reconcile to a recommended price range, with the math shown.
How long does a typical commercial transaction take?
From engagement to close, expect 90 to 180 days for a stabilized commercial sale; longer for sales involving environmental work (Phase I / II), zoning changes, or complex tenant arrangements. Business sales involving extensive due diligence often run 120 to 240 days. We'll set a realistic timeline at the start.
Can my sale stay off MLS?
Yes. Many commercial and business sales close without ever hitting public listings — particularly when employee, customer, or supplier relationships need to be protected. We'll discuss a quiet-marketing plan that contacts a vetted buyer network directly.
What's typical commercial commission and how is it structured?
Commercial commissions are negotiable and structured by deal type — typically a percentage of sale price for sales, and a percentage of total lease consideration for leases. I'll quote a transparent fee in writing before any engagement, with no surprises at close.
Confidential consultation
Tell me what you're working on.
A first conversation costs you nothing and obligates you to nothing. Share what you can, hold back what you'd rather discuss after an NDA. I'll reply personally — usually within one business day.
