Listing a Texas commercial property is not "putting it on LoopNet and waiting." Done well, it's a coordinated marketing campaign — broker book, drone photography, custom property website, CoStar / LoopNet / Crexi syndication, direct outreach to qualified principals — combined with disciplined negotiation and diligence management. Done poorly, your property sits on the market for 12 months, signals distress, and trades at a discount.

CRECO's leasing and sales practice handles owner-side representation across all commercial property types in San Antonio and the Hill Country: retail centers, industrial buildings, office buildings, mixed-use, flex, and land. Whether you're leasing up vacant space, listing a stabilized asset for sale, or testing the market — we bring institutional-quality marketing materials, target the right buyer or tenant pool, and negotiate aggressively for your outcome.

Every CRECO listing is worked directly by our team — not handed off to a junior associate. You get senior-level attention from listing day through close, including weekly progress reports, real-time activity tracking, and direct availability for buyer/tenant questions.

Our Process

How a Landlord Representation: Leasing & Sales engagement works

Property Evaluation

We tour the asset, audit operating history, and benchmark recent comparable local transactions. We deliver a Broker Opinion of Value (BOV) and recommended price/rent strategy within 5-7 business days.

Positioning Strategy

We craft the marketing narrative tailored to your asset and target buyer/tenant. Class B retail center messaging is different from Class A office tower messaging — we calibrate.

Marketing Launch

Property hits the market with full materials, MLS-style syndication, and direct outreach to qualified principals. Weekly progress reports show every showing, every inquiry, every level of interest.

Offer Negotiation

When offers come in, we tee up multi-offer competition where possible, walk you through tradeoffs (price vs. terms vs. certainty), and negotiate aggressively. Your goal — top dollar, fast close, or lowest risk — drives our strategy.

Diligence to Close

We coordinate with your attorney, accountant, lender, and the buyer's diligence team. We don't disappear after the contract is signed — we manage every deliverable through close.

Who This Is For

Use Cases

Stabilized asset disposition

You own a fully leased property and want to sell. We position the cash flow story, target investor buyers, and execute on a defined timeline.

Vacant building lease-up

You own a property with significant vacancy. We design and execute a leasing campaign — direct, sublease, or hybrid — to fill the building and stabilize NOI.

Value-add disposition

You own a property with upside but want to redeploy capital. We tell the value-add story to operator buyers who can execute the business plan.

Owner-user marketing

You're selling a building you operated yourself. We translate the owner-user story into investor language and price aggressively.

Landlord Representation: Leasing & Sales FAQ

What's the typical commission for commercial real estate sales in Texas?+

Commercial sales commissions in Texas typically run 4-6% of the sale price for the listing brokerage. The listing broker pays 50% to the cooperating buyer's broker (who represents the buyer). Larger deals ($10M+) often negotiate down to 3-5%. Marketing campaign costs (drone, broker book, website, professional photo) are typically included in the commission — not invoiced separately.

How long does it take to sell a Texas commercial property?+

Marketing-to-close timelines vary by asset type and condition. Stabilized retail/industrial: 90-150 days. Class A office: 120-180 days. Value-add or specialized assets: 180-300 days. Vacant or distressed: 180-365+ days. CRECO consistently outperforms market average days-on-market by 20-30% through aggressive marketing and proactive buyer cultivation.

Can CRECO market my property "off-market" or "quietly"?+

Yes. Confidential marketing engagements (no signs, no public listing, owner identity protected) are common for sensitive sales — divorce/estate situations, tenant-occupied with active operations, owner-user not wanting employees to know. We tap our principal network directly and negotiate without public exposure.

Do you handle ground leases or sale-leasebacks?+

Yes. Ground lease structures (you keep the land, sell the improvements) and sale-leaseback transactions (you sell the property and lease it back as the operating tenant) are both specialty structures we handle. Each unlocks capital while preserving operational use; the right structure depends on your tax position, cap-rate sensitivity, and lender requirements.

What if my property doesn't sell in the listing term?+

Our standard listing agreement is 6 months. If the property hasn't sold or stalled near close, we sit down with you to evaluate: was the price wrong? Marketing wrong? Market shifted? Tenant credit? We recommend a path — re-price, re-position, withdraw, or renew listing on adjusted terms — based on what the market told us.
