Retail space, office space, commercial real estate, and residential real estate are the four different types of real estate property, and each has multiple sub-categories that fall under them. Our real estate brokers at Knapp Properties would be happy to help you figure out which is best for you and your business Read on to learn more about your options.
A retail space is any brick-and-mortar storefront that is primarily engaged in the rental or sale of goods and/or services. These spaces are highly sought after by businesses looking to generate more foot traffic.
Retail real estate can be occupied by a variety of businesses from clothing boutiques to high-end restaurants. Because of the heavy traffic they attract, it’s typically more costly per square foot to rent retail space than your average office space.
Office spaces are rooms within a building that provide a functional space for which a business can use to operate. An office space is a commercial real estate property, and can be in one of three categories: Class A, Class B, or Class C. Each class is based on the quality of the office space including the building’s age, amenities, and aesthetics. Before you rent an office space for your business, there are a few important factors we encourage you to consider:
If you’re considering renting office space, be sure to weigh all of your options to ensure a larger space is the best fit for your company’s needs and business goals.
Commercial real estate is property that is used for income-generating activities. Businesses who choose to rent commercial real estate often experience lower costs up front, reduced ongoing expenditures, and greater flexibility. Commercial real estate encompasses a few different types of spaces including office buildings, industrial property, medical centers, hotels, malls, apartment buildings, and warehouses.

Residential real estate is any building or unit zoned with the purpose of people living there. Residential property can include either new construction or resale homes. Single-family homes are the most common but there are other examples of residence-focused properties known as multifamily real estate which include apartments, condos, cooperatives, duplexes, and townhomes.

Once we find the right property for you or your company, a real estate purchase offer or contract will be put together. The contract outlines how much you want to pay for the property, the terms and conditions of the purchase, and legal requirements. You will work with your real estate broker to determine a reasonable offer based on your own desires and the trusted agent’s advice and knowledge of the area.
Land sale amendments – a document that makes a change to a ratified contract – are a part of the real estate contract negotiation process for land and lot sales. To determine the right offer, reach out to our real estate transaction management team.
A transaction management company can be very advantageous for you and your business. We will walk you through and help with the financing and transaction process of your investment so that you can focus on your business while saving time and money.

When you set a closing date and finish any agreed upon repairs or improvements to the property, you’re one step away from moving in. We encourage sellers and buyers to settle on a closing date that is convenient for everyone involved.
Choosing the right closing date can reduce your closing costs and ensure the rest of the closing process goes as smoothly as possible. Choosing the wrong closing date can cause costly delays, and in some extreme cases, cause the whole deal to fall apart. Your real estate broker will help you determine a beneficial closing date that takes you, the seller, and your mortgage lender into account so that all parties can stay coordinated.
You’ve signed your closing papers and should be proud you’ve made it to this point of the transaction process. Though it seems like a lot of work and a long time coming, taking the time and effort to make sure everything is right is important. Now, you’re ready to move into your new property!
