Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I work with a commercial real estate broker?

Here are the several advantages in working with us:

Market Knowledge: We have in-depth knowledge of the local market, including trends, pricing, and available properties. This can save you time and effort in finding suitable properties.
Access to Listings: We have access to listings that may not be publicly available. We can help you find properties that meet your specific criteria, including size, location, and budget.
Negotiation Skills: We are skilled negotiators who can help you secure the best possible deal.
Expertise and Advice: We can provide valuable expertise and advice throughout the entire process, from property selection to closing. We can help you navigate complex legal and financial issues and provide guidance on zoning regulations, lease agreements, and more.
Save Time and Effort: Searching for commercial properties can be time-consuming and overwhelming and working with us allows you to leverage their expertise and resources, saving you time and effort in the search process.
Connections: We have extensive networks of contacts in the industry, including architects, contractors, lenders, and other professionals.
Due Diligence: We can assist you with due diligence, helping you assess the condition of the property, review financial records, and identify any potential issues or risks.
Streamlined Process: We can help streamline the buying or leasing process, coordinating inspections, appraisals, and other necessary steps to ensure a smooth transaction.

How much do you charge as part of the commission?

Our commission structures varies based on type of transaction, property, and price. Our agency agreement will outline who is responsible for paying the commission as part of the transaction. Also, as a landlord or seller agent, we always share our fees with cooperating real estate brokers. We also offer referral fees to licensed real estate brokers as well.

How long does it take to complete a real estate transaction?

The time it takes to complete a commercial real estate transaction can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the complexity of the deal, market conditions, financing arrangements, due diligence requirements, and the parties involved. We always tell clients it’s best to begin the consultation process with an agent at least 9 months out from anticipated leased execution and/or sale closing. A typical due diligence timeframe can be between 60-75 days.

Could a residential real estate broker represent me?

We work with residential real estate brokers on referral opportunities frequently as most residential real estate brokers don’t have the market knowledge and experience to successfully complete a commercial real estate transaction, even though the real estate license is the same. We are more than happy to share referral fees with your residential agent given the opportunity to represent you on a commercial real estate transaction.

What is your response time?

Communication is fundamental to our success so we always tell our consumers and clients that we will be in response to you within 24 hours via phone call, text, or email during the business week. Unlike residential real estate brokers, most of our business activities are conducted Monday through Friday between 8am and 6pm. We always ensure that our clients have access to our team.

How is your brokerage different from larger national brokerage firms?

Since we are a small, boutique brokerage, we align our values and tailor our processes to entrepreneurs, which means you receive a more personalized approach to business. We are also more adaptable in our approach because we continuously implement feedback from our brokers, partners, and clients.

What areas do you service?

We service Colorado and have worked outside Colorado with a broker of record. We would determine how we could best assist during our initial consultation.

Do you provide referrals to industry business partners?

Yes! We have an active vendor database of over 70 professionals and businesses that continues to grow. We are always asking feedback as well to further qualify those business partner relationships. If you are interested in being a preferred business partner for Innovate Commercial Real Estate, please contact us to set up a meeting to learn more.

How can I search for properties on my own?

CREXI and Loopnet are the largest databases for commercial real estate properties that are accessible to the public, with no required membership or fee. However, if you are looking to see all available active and off-market opportunities, it is always best to engage a commercial real estate broker.

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!

Donovan W.

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.

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.

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. We represented our perspective clients, and the transactions were brought to close without any set back. I recommend Charly whole heartedly as a consummate commercial real estate professional.
– Mathew A.

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.

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.

We met Charlie through another investor and couldn’t be happier with his abilities. As new out of state investors he was very helpful in helping us throughout the process.

I appreciate his knowledge and professionalism and would highly recommend his services.
– Scott G.
