A common problem with marketing commercial real estate is that sellers do not recognize the highest and best use for their property.
As a result, they cost themselves money when it comes time to lease or sell.
Real estate professionals can make sure that sellers maximize their return on investment by marketing the best and most valuable use of the property.
Since the highest and best use is often a consideration of appraisals and the value of the property is directly related to what the property is used for, it is wise to take this into consideration when marketing your property for sale.
Of course, the use must also be legally allowable, physically possible and financially feasible. A certified commercial appraiser can assist with this process and works in cooperation with a licensed real estate salesperson.
As an investor, there is a real value in determining the best use for a specific property. If a commercial property you own would receive a greater return on your investment through rezoning for industrial use, then it seems like a reasonable decision to do so. If the cost of the change adds more value while increasing the net profit of your investment once it is sold, then the decision to seek the highest and best use is advantageous.
Each situation is unique, and seeking advice from experienced and knowledgeable professionals is a necessity to successfully determine the best use and the greatest value of the property in question.
