Connecting Vision, Driving Success
We represent business owners looking to sell their businesses. Here is an overview of the typical steps involved in that process.
Preparation and Planning
We assist you in evaluating your business value by conducting a thorough analysis of profit and loss statements, balance sheets, tax returns, existing lease, any associated assets and goodwill. As part of that process, we determine your selling objectives, timeline, and any constraints or considerations that may impact the sale.
Property Marketing
We develop a comprehensive marketing strategy to promote the business to potential buyers and create an Offering Memorandum (OM). We use various marketing channels to reach a broad audience, including online listing platforms, social media, email marketing, and networking within the commercial real estate community, and can also make this confidential offering if there are concerns with customers or staffing.
Tours and Buyer Interviews
We schedule and conduct tours for interested buyers and ensure you can interview prospects after we have completed our qualification process.
Offer Negotiation
We review and evaluate offers received from potential buyers. You will consider factors such as the offer price, terms and conditions, buyer financing, and closing timeline. We negotiate with buyers to reach mutually acceptable terms.
Purchase Agreement and Closing
We will draft and review the purchase agreement, ensuring that all terms and conditions are accurately reflected in coordination with the lender and or title company.
Due Diligence
Once an offer is accepted, we will guide you in the due diligence process to assess financial performance, financial records, lease negotiation, marketing efforts, and a transition plan. We will address any concerns or issues identified during the due diligence process promptly to keep the transaction on track.
Closing
We assist with closing efforts so you can transfer ownership of the business, and exchange funds. We work with attorneys to ensure that all requirements are met to complete the transaction successfully.
Post-Sale Activities
After closing, you complete any remaining tasks such as transferring utilities, notifying clients and staff (if applicable), and updating records with relevant authorities. We will assist with any referrals or introductions you have to ensure the overall success of your business.

Charlie has not only been a wonderful broker but we actually consider him our partner in our real estate project. Charlie has held our hands through an entire process with a rather large scope of work. As a small business owner we found someone like Charlie has been instrumental in us building a solid plan for all of our tenants. I would not hesitate to refer Charlie to anyone from family to business contacts.
– Donovan W.
Ricky R.
Charlie recently helped my family’s business acquire and move into a property of our own. From the very start he was sending us several options and places to go tour. He attended all the tours with us and was requesting feedback from us, and taking that feedback into consideration when looking for the next place to tour. When we finally found the spot we ended up acquiring, Charlie was attentive to everything we needed to complete and made it very easy for us to focus on continue running our business. He worked with our lender, bankers, and potential contractors for improvements. Even after we purchased the property Charlie has been helpful whenever we had questions about the property or previous tenants. I would recommend Charlie to anyone who is looking to acquire commercial real estate. He is very professional, attentive, accessible, and knowledgeable!

Sarah I.
We had the great luck of working with Charlie during our search for a location for our store. It was our initial deduction that he must be part of the family who we were interested in renting from. It was a shock to realize he was just their broker. His level of professionalism is unlike anything I have seen from other commercial realtor. Charlie goes above and beyond for those he is representing and those who he is working with. Although, he was the representative of our landlord I consider Charlie part of my business and a big part of the reason why it will open soon. I recommend him without a doubt and if I ever need a commercial realtor again, I wouldn’t look any further.
– Sarah I.

Chris R.
I was fortunate to work with Charlie Cummings on negotiating a new lease for Fiction Beer Company Parker. While there are many things that warrant five stars I want to highlight the most important – communication and delivery. Commercial real estate can be complicated, and at times very trying. Charlie did a great job communicating through the negotiation process, as well as communicating with me about his concerns for the deal. His commitment to keeping me updated reduced lots of stress. As for delivering, Charlie did a great during the negotiation and contracting process to ensure my wants were addressed. If you’re looking for a professional real estate agent who is committed to doing the best job you should hire Charlie.
– Chris R.
Mathew A.
I had the distinct pleasure to work with Charlie Cummings on several commercial transactions. He is very knowledgeable in various aspects of commercial real estate.

Brandon G.
Charlie is an incredible broker! He helped us as new investors gain a better understanding of the process of purchasing an assisted living facility. Any time I had a question I would reach out and Charlie had the answer! He is very connected as well, when I needed help with a lender, an insurance broker, a home inspector, etc., he always had somebody ready to go and made a warm handoff via email. As an out of state investor I needed a Rockstar to help me through the process and Charlie was that Rockstar! We enjoyed working with Charlie that we found another deal and started working with him again! I have already referred several people to Charlie and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. I also wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to my closest friends and family. Charlie is great, I HIGHLY recommend him!
– Brandon G.
Dan L.
Charlie Cummings worked to find me a property while I was out of the country. As I couldn’t see the property or neighborhood in person, I really relied on his expertise more than usual. He was patient with the delay in responses due to the time difference. And did more than would be usual for an in person transaction. The transaction went so smoothly, my girlfriend had him find her a property also. If you need a knowledgeable person, with the patience for a situation that is challenging, Charlie can take care of you. I recommend Charlie without hesitation.
– Dan L.
Andrew P.

Chris C.
My Wife and I were buying a Grease Monkey and we had to get the whole deal done in three months, that also included getting an SBA loan. Buying a business and getting approved for an SBA loan all in three months is unheard of and Charlie worked very hard day and night to make sure we were able to meet the deadline that we had to close on buying our Grease Monkey.
– Chris C.
