How to Prepare Your Commercial Space for Property Tours

When you’re selling or leasing a commercial property, it’s important to make a positive first impression. Your commercial real estate advisor will likely bring prospective buyers or tenants, along with their brokers and other stakeholders, for a tour. Here are some tips to prepare your commercial space for property tours:

Clear Out Clutter

First, try to tidy up both inside and outside the space. This includes organizing desks and common areas if the space is occupied. If the space is vacant, take advantage of the opportunity to ensure everything is neat and welcoming.

Clean the Space

A thorough cleaning can make a big difference. Vacuum, dust, mop, and clean the carpets. Removing all trash will help the space feel more inviting, making it easier for potential buyers or tenants to imagine themselves there.

Consider Minor Repairs

Small touch-ups, like fixing visible issues or touching up paint, can greatly improve how your property is perceived. These little details show that the space is well-maintained.

Light Up the Space

For vacant properties, make sure the power is on. Turn on the lights, replace any burnt-out bulbs, and open the windows to let in natural light. A well-lit space feels warm and inviting.

Freshen the Air

To create a pleasant atmosphere, run water through the pipes and use air freshener to eliminate any stale odors. A fresh-smelling space can leave a lasting positive impression on visitors.

By following these simple steps, you can create a welcoming environment that highlights the best features of your commercial space, making the selling or leasing process smoother and more successful.
