Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most common questions we receive about commercial real estate acquisitions, sales, development and management. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us using the form below or by emailing us at admin@cf-firm.com

Do you have the forms needed to handle commercial real estate transaction.

Yes, we have a significant form bank

I believe this purchase price seems a lower that it should be; what does that mean?
6
7
It typically means that this property most likely has strange issues such as ownership concerns, title complications, survey issues such as overlaps or gaps, governmental encumbrances or permitting needs, unresolved monetary encumbrances, etc. Having to resolve unusual complications typically translate into additional time and costs before closing.
How long should a “due diligence” or “inspection period” be?
6
7
A reasonable period of time for a buyer to conduct its due diligence a/k/a inspections (depending on the property) should be 60 to 90 days. Thirty days almost always translates into the need to negotiate more time.
Do you handle rezoning applications?
6
7
Rezoning has become a specialized area of commercial real estate that involves close interaction with local county and municipal officials. Although we handled rezonings years ago, we believe a client is best represented by a specialist who works with the applicable county or municipality. Thus we refer clients to the best lawyers we know to handle zoning needs while we handle the primary real estate needs.
