Harrison Comercial Properties - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why would I pick a small company over one of the larger brokerage companies?
A: Our business is a relationship business. Whether you pick a small company or a large company, your relationship is primarily with your agent. We are staying small by design. Our agents are experienced real estate AND business professionals. We are able to give a higher, more comprehensive level of service to our customers. You do not get "lost in the crowd" with Harrison Commercial Properties.

Q: Is now a good time to buy commercial real estate?
A: Yes. Prices that had been falling are stabilizing. Our local market is not particularly over-inventoried. The decrease in valuation that we have seen is more a function of the economy than a problem of over supply. Interest rates are low. Owner-occupied properties can be financed for low, fixed rates for the life of the loan; something that was unheard of just a few years ago. Capitalization rates are creeping back to "pre-bubble" levels, creating considerably better returns and lower pricing for investors.

Q: How much longer before we see a turn-around in the commercial real estate market?
A: No one can answer this question with 100% certainty. However, we are seeing signs of an improving market. The demand for retail and food service space is the highest we have seen in several years. Lease rates are still aggressive at this time, but we expect to see rates increase as inventory is absorbed.

Q: OK, then why should I sell or lease my property now?
A: Often, whether or not to sell your property is a double-edged question. Not only do you have to consider the selling price of your property; there are usually other factors that can be just as important as the selling price. The time value of continuing to hold a particular property can often more than offset waiting for prices to go up. Sometimes it's a lifestyle question. What else can I do with the equity in my property? Can I grow my business in some other area with the equity in my property that may offer me a better return than continuing to own my property? Can I be more efficient by down-sizing my present space? Contact us, we will gladly help you sort these questions out.
