In today’s commercial property market, the sale process is quite specific and very special. All factors of the property and the market must be looked at by the agent before the marketing campaign is established and actioned. If you really want to sell the property, pay particular attention to the preparation process for every quality listing. Exclusivity is required.So what can you do? When you fully understand the prevailing market conditions and the factors of the property as it exists today, you can productively move ahead in marketing and promotion. You may even have some property challenges to work through before you establish the campaign of promotion.Here are some things to look at:
Review all leases relating to the subject property. As part of that make sure that any weaknesses are addressed. There is no point in having ‘hurdles to address’ in the upcoming advertising or property inspection period.
Review the services, amenities, improvements, and locational factors. Look for the strengths and weaknesses in each.
Assess the competition properties in both price and location. The other properties locally will have a history of marketing and enquiry; that will give you hints and ideas of the issues that are working when it comes to property promotion.
Understand the prices recently through the area. Are prices lifting or are they stable? Perhaps they have fallen over the last few years (that’s not unusual). There are cycles to the pricing process and they are quite easy to see.
Look at the time on market that applies to the property type today locally. Given the chosen method of sale, the time on market will be quite important. Choose the method of sale that brings the best results in a timely and efficient way.
The property owner will have price and market perceptions that may need to be shaped. Get details of comparable sales as part of that process.
Look at what competing agents are doing locally with other properties. You may have some other listing challenges in the area that impact your marketing campaign.
Go through your database to see if you can create a ‘short list’ of qualified buyers that are still in the market looking for property. They can be quoted the property as soon as it is released to the market.
Establish a marketing campaign that is targeted to the right segment of buyers. Make sure that the promotional process is quite specific and complete. You will need vendor paid marketing funds for that.
Review the property for any repairs and maintenance issues that should be addressed prior to the promotional process commencing.
So there are plenty of things to do as part of preparing a commercial or retail property for sale today. A good property preparation will help the inbound enquiry rate considerably and shorten the time on market. Most marketing campaigns should be very focused for the first 4 weeks of release.

Casual Dining Furniture Can Lend Elegance to a Home
Many homes these days don’t have formal dining rooms. Homeowners who want to create good-looking dining areas often don’t want to spend a lot of money. Some people think that casual dining furniture might be an answer, but are concerned it may look cheap. There are some furniture stores in the Albany, NY area that can advise homeowners on what casual dining furniture would look best in their home. Whether one lives in Glens Falls, Queensbury or Albany, NY or elsewhere, purchasing casual dining furniture can add a touch of style to one’s home.
Casual dining furniture can look elegant and local furniture stores can introduce homeowners to collections of casual dining sets. Depending on the look that the customer is after, casual dining sets can be chosen to complement a modern or more traditional style. The shape of the dining table is the first element that people focus on when shopping for dining furniture. Some sets feature small circular tables, and others include square or drop-leaf tables. Rough-hewn tables offer a more rustic look. Chairs can make a statement too; slat back, bar stool or bench, the chairs offer more than a place to sit; they help complete the look.
Style is part of the process when selecting dining furniture, but the color of the dining set is a critical point as well. Ash or oak furniture with a light stain can brighten a dining nook. Walnut and cherry furniture can add warmth to a room. Darker stains such as an espresso brown offer an upscale look. Some sets even feature metal table frames with glass tops that give a light and classy look that offers a cheery setting for every meal.
Table height is another consideration when shopping for a casual dining set. People who want to have a space where food preparation and eating can take place together may want to consider purchasing a counter-height table. These tables are usually at least 36 inches high. They are perfect for people who have dining areas that overlook an opening between the kitchen and living room. The attraction of open concept homes is a larger kitchen. A counter-height table can provide more food prep space, extra dining space and a beautiful addition to the kitchen’s décor.
Homes that don’t include formal dining rooms offer people the flexibility to create unique dining spaces. Furniture store staff can help people decide on a dining set style, shape, color and even table height that will fit their needs. A good rule of thumb is to take photos of one’s dining area and bring them in to the furniture store to give the staff an idea of where the new furniture will be set up in the house. Some furniture stores even offer design services. Store designers sometimes will come to customers’ homes to help them plan out their furniture groupings. Shopping for casual dining room furniture doesn’t have to be difficult. Furniture store sales consultants welcome the opportunity to help people create comfortable and elegant dining spaces.
