Our standard fee for commercial listings is a one-time, upfront payment that covers the listing of your property on major commercial real estate portals like Commercial Real Estate and Real Commercial until it is sold or leased. There are no hidden fees, commissions, or ongoing charges from our end. This fee ensures your commercial property receives the same broad exposure as an agent-listed property. Any additional costs you might consider, such as professional photography, a "For Sale/Lease" sign, or legal fees for conveyancing/lease agreements, are entirely optional and managed by you directly, giving you complete cost control over your commercial transaction.

Absolutely, yes. As you are managing the sale or lease of your commercial property directly, it is crucial that you seek independent legal and financial advice tailored to your specific situation. A commercial property solicitor can guide you through contract complexities, legal obligations, and settlement processes. Similarly, a financial adviser can help you understand the tax implications and overall financial impact of the transaction. For potential buyers or tenants, it's equally vital to undertake your own comprehensive due diligence on the property and its suitability for your needs, including confirming zoning, potential uses, and any other relevant factors. Our platform empowers you to list your property, but getting independent professional advice is essential to protect your interests throughout the transaction.

When it comes to pricing, we encourage you to use the free valuation that comes with your package. It is an excellent starting point, giving you a real sense of what comparable commercial properties are selling or renting for in your suburb currently. Supplementing that with a bit of your own research into recent sales or rentals of similar properties in your neighbourhood can help you feel confident in setting a competitive and attractive price. We recommend conducting thorough research by looking at recent comparable commercial sales or lease agreements in your area. Websites like Commercial Real Estate and Real Commercial often provide "sold" or "leased" data which can be very helpful.  Our platform gives you the flexibility to set and adjust your price or rental rate based on your market research and feedback from interested parties.

We understand you're eager to get your commercial property seen by potential purchasers or lessors! Once you've submitted all the necessary details and photos for your listing and completed the payment, our goal is to have your property live on Commercial Real Estate and Real Commercial within approximately 24-48 business hours. We do take a moment to review each submission to ensure everything meets the platform requirements. If we need to fine-tune anything to get it just right, it might take a couple of extra days, but we will work closely with you to get your commercial property live as smoothly as possible. You'll receive an email confirmation the moment your listing is active!

Can I make changes to my commercial property listing after it's live?

Yes, absolutely! You have full control over your commercial listing. You can log in to your account at any time to edit details, update photos, adjust the price or rent, add or remove information about features, or update its status (e.g., under offer, leased). Any changes you make will typically be updated on Commercial Real Estate and Real Commercial within a short period after you save them.

Receiving inquiries from potential buyers or tenants for your commercial property is straightforward. All inquiries that come through Commercial Real Estate and Real Commercial will be sent directly to your nominated email address and/or phone number, exactly as you've set it up in your listing. These details are also saved on your Listed By Owner dashboard by default. You'll receive these notifications in real-time, allowing you to respond promptly to anyone interested in your commercial property. We believe in direct communication, so we don't act as a middleman for these inquiries; it's straight from the interested party to you, ensuring you have full control over the communication process.

When you receive an inquiry for your commercial property through our platform, we encourage parties to discuss details of pre-approval, financial capacity, or business references early in their discussions. Serious buyers and tenants are typically prepared to share this information to demonstrate their credibility. Look for clear communication, professional conduct, and a genuine interest in your specific commercial space.

When you receive an offer for sale or lease, it will come directly to you. We strongly advise requesting all offers in writing. This ensures clarity on key terms such as price or rent, lease duration, conditions (e.g., subject to due diligence, council approvals, or finance), and settlement/commencement dates. You maintain full control to accept, reject, or counter-offer. It's a good idea to research recent commercial sales or leases in your area to understand current market value. If you reach an agreement, it is highly recommended to engage a solicitor specialising in commercial property to draft or review the contract of sale or lease agreement. While our platform simplifies the listing process, the negotiation and legal aspects of the transaction remain your responsibility.
