Whats The Best Way To Find Out When Large Buildings Get Sold?

Posted by Anonymous on 6/3/2004 at 7:58 PM ET 125 Points
My company sells property management software for managing work orders, doing preventive maintenance tasks and tracking vendor information and insurance to mention a little about it. It seems to me the best time to sell our system is when buildings are changing hands. What is the best way to find out this information. I have tried the county assesors office and it seems like they dont have the capability to search the criteria that I'm interested in obtaining. I'm looking only for buildings that are at least 100,000 sq ft.

    Get in touch with a local buyer or real estate agent who has access to the property listings. Offer them a % commission for every property they refer you to that makes a purchase.

    I know an agent or two...not sure if they are interested or if it is even legal, but we can find out!

    The Commercial Real Estate Exchange is the industry standard (similar to Multi-listings for homebuyers/sellers)
    www.commrex.com

    CREE has a feature that allows users to mark their properties as SOLD. But why wait for the “sold” event. Instead contact the leading commercial brokers (Coldwell Banker, Ellis, Century 21 plus the area’s top regional brokers) representing buyers BEFORE they buy. Precondition them to buy your software before they buy a property.

    There are many ways to identify and directly contact your prospects through lists and trade media. I’m sure others will follow with great ideas.

    Good luck

    If you're in one of the 40+ metropolitan areas that is covered by bizjournals.com, you should subscribe to that weekly paper. I've noticed in the Houston edition that there's a section in EVERY edition listing recent commercial real estate transactions.

    I don't know if that's a feature in their online edition, but it's always there in the ink-n-paper copy.
