For Texas Commercial Real Estate Owners

The Texas Commercial Property Owner's Disposition Strategy Guide

How to think about selling a Texas commercial property — pricing, marketing, timing, 1031 strategy, and the diligence that determines whether you get full value or a discount. Written for owners with 1 to 50+ properties.

16 pages 19 min readBy CRECO

Most Texas commercial property dispositions happen on a 12-week timeline. Most should happen on a 6-month timeline — with a 4-month preparation phase that doubles the eventual sale price. The difference between owners who routinely hit the high end of comp ranges and owners who routinely close 5-10% under is almost entirely in that preparation phase.

This guide walks through the disposition decision and execution process from the perspective of the owner — pricing, marketing, buyer-pool selection, 1031 timing, and the diligence work that prevents last-minute price reductions. It's written for owners with anywhere from one property to a fifty-property portfolio, because the strategic principles are the same; the operational complexity scales.

If you're considering selling a Texas commercial property — or you've sold before and want a more disciplined process next time — this is the document we'd hand you before our first conversation.
