What helps us understand your property
Apartments and small multifamily
Share the unit count, current occupancy, approximate collected rent and known repairs. If available, a rent roll and recent operating expenses help separate scheduled income from actual collections. Explain concessions, owner-paid utilities and upcoming lease expirations.
Retail, office and mixed-use
Start with the building size, tenants, vacant space and lease expiration dates. Mention reimbursements, outstanding tenant improvements and any space you use yourself. If you want to remain after a sale, raise that early so any leaseback can be discussed explicitly.
Industrial and outdoor storage
Describe the current use, building and yard area, access, loading, clear height and power information you have. Mention known environmental reports or unresolved property notices. A useful review distinguishes existing features from improvements a future user would need.
Land and development sites
Share the address or parcel numbers, acreage, access and known utility availability. Existing surveys and written zoning information help when available. We separate the current property from potential uses that still require investigation or approval.
How MN CRE approaches it
We begin by confirming the property type, location and your timing. If there is a fit, we identify the information needed for a preliminary valuation and discuss how access would work. A first response is a next-step conversation; a completed offer depends on the property and the information available.
Our illustrative property review shows how income assumptions can affect an evaluation. Our published transaction list gives you specific properties to discuss with a principal. Ask about the team’s role and a relevant reference.
What we need for an initial review
Can I start without all the documents?
Yes. An address or parcel location, property type and a way to reach you are enough to begin. Tell us what is missing; we can agree on the next steps before you spend time assembling files.
Should I send tenant or financial records through the first form?
Keep the initial inquiry to a property summary. Discuss an appropriate document-sharing method with the team before sending leases, tenant details, bank records or sensitive financial information.
Do I need to make the property vacant?
We consider occupied and vacant assets. Describe the actual lease and access situation. Any tenant obligations, notices, possession arrangements and diligence conditions need to be addressed for the specific transaction.
What should I compare in an offer?
Compare the price with stated diligence conditions, deposits, closing timing, costs and the buyer’s funding plan. Ask what remains subject to verification. Use the net-proceeds worksheet with your own estimates, then confirm settlement figures with the closing team.
