Commercial Acquisition Process

What to Expect When
You Sell to Patron

A clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the commercial acquisition process — from initial underwriting to cash at closing. Commercial closings run 4–12 weeks depending on asset complexity, title, and due diligence, with no broker fees, no financing contingencies, and no financing fall-throughs.

Appraisal

We evaluate your commercial property as-is — from office and retail to multi-family, industrial, and mixed-use. Our team assesses income potential, occupancy, cap rate, and market position, then presents a transparent, no-obligation cash offer within 7–10 days.

1

Discovery & Underwriting

You share the property's story — asset type, lease structure, tenant rollover, deferred maintenance, and why you're selling. We underwrite the deal based on stabilized income, in-place rents, replacement cost, and current cap rates.

Your role: Provide rent rolls, T-12 financials, and any lease abstracts you have.

2

Site Visit & Condition Assessment

We walk the property and review structural, mechanical, roof, and environmental condition. Distressed and value-add assets welcome — we acquire as-is, including buildings facing vacancy, code violations, or deferred capital needs.

Your role: Grant access for a site tour and share inspection reports if available.

3

Transparent Cash Offer

Within 7–10 days you receive a written cash offer with a clear breakdown — stabilized value, assumed rehab, and your net number. No broker fees deducted from your price, no hidden concessions.

Your role: Review the offer at your pace. No obligation to proceed.

02Week 2–3

Agreement

Once you accept, we lock in terms with a clean purchase and sale agreement. No hidden clauses. We agree on a due-diligence window, a firm closing date, and any post-closing arrangements — such as tenant transition or a short leaseback for ongoing operations.

1

Terms & PSA Negotiation

We agree on price, escrow amount, due-diligence period, closing date, and any assignment or leaseback terms. Commercial deals need clearly defined inspect and financing windows — ours are cash-backed, so the only contingency is title and your decision.

Your role: Tell us your target closing date and any operational transition needs.

2

Sign the Purchase & Sale Agreement

We deliver a clean PSA for your review. You're encouraged to have counsel review it. No realtor commissions, no financing contingency, no repair demands baked into the contract.

Your role: Have your attorney review and sign when ready.

3

Earnest Money to Escrow

Good-faith deposit is wired to a licensed commercial title company or escrow attorney, securing the deal and demonstrating our commitment to close.

Your role: Confirm receipt of the deposit — we handle the wire.

03Week 3–10

Escrow & Due Diligence

A licensed title company or escrow attorney clears title, while we complete commercial due diligence — lease audits, environmental Phase I, survey, and estoppels. Because our offer is cash, there's no lender appraisal, no loan committee, and no financing fall-through. The bulk of the 4–12 week timeline lives here.

1

Title Commitment & Lien Clearance

The title company researches ownership, recorded encumbrances, UCC filings, and mechanic's liens — then works to clear them so you receive clean proceeds at closing.

Your role: Provide the deed, lien payoff statements, and entity documents.

2

Commercial Due Diligence

We complete lease audits, tenant estoppel certificates, a Phase I environmental review, ALTA survey, and a property condition assessment. Cash offer means no third-party lender underwriting stands between us and closing.

Your role: Sign estoppel requests and cooperate with reasonable info requests.

3

Closing Date Confirmation & Settlement

Before closing you receive the closing statement showing your exact net proceeds — wire amount, payoff figures, and prorations, with no surprise deductions.

Your role: Review the settlement statement and confirm the closing date.

04Week 11–12

Liquidity

Close and walk away with cash. No bank approval delays, no financing fall-throughs, no holdbacks. Your commercial asset is unlocked and your capital is free to redeploy.

1

Sign at Closing

You execute the deed and closing documents — in person at the title office or remotely through an escrow attorney. Commercial closings often settle in a single business day.

Your role: Bring entity authorizations and a valid ID.

2

Funds Released

Upon recording, the title company wires your proceeds directly to your account. No commission deductions, no closing-cost surprises, no escrow holdbacks beyond agreed prorations.

Your role: Receive your cash — the transaction is complete.

3

Asset Handover

You hand over keys, access systems, tenant files, and any operational documents. We take the property in its current condition — no punch-list repairs or final walk-through demands.

Your role: Turn over the asset and move on with cash in hand.
