The
Geenty Group, Realtors is guided by the belief that representing
Buyers, Sellers, Tenants and Landlords, is grounded in relationships.
That's why we call ourselves, "A Relationship Company."
Our Services extend beyond signing on the dotted line, whether
we are providing our clients with the names of environmental
firms, or putting them in touch with office furniture and
data providers or finding a home for the newly relocated family,
we strive to provide our clients with all the services that
they expect, and some they don't, from a Full Service Real
Estate Firm.
Broker's
Opinion of Property Value
Prior
to Listing a Property For Sale or For Lease, the Value of
the Property must be determined. We use our market knowledge,
as well as, our commercial real estate databases, including
the Commercial Multiple Listing Service, and our knowledge
of depreciation, functional obsolescence and demand, to determine
an Opinion of Value for a subject property. As Realtors, this
is a market service that we regularly provide to potential
clients without charge. We believe that providing our Opinion
of Value to our future clients, not only helps the client,
but it helps us by expanding our market knowledge. Often,
people ask us to evaluate their property, but do not list
their property for sale or lease until a later date.

Listing
Your Property for Sale/Lease
As
Commercial/Industrial Specialists, the Geenty Group, Realtors
takes special pride in our ability to list properties on the
market and successfully Close the Sale or Lease in a timely
manner.
When
Listing a Property for Sale or Lease, we inspect the subject
property, noting features, which will affect the price either
positively or negatively. Ceiling heights, power capabilities
inside the building, wiring for high-speed computer use, the
building's age and condition are all factors taken into consideration.
Then, we present the owner with a package that, not only,
includes our recommendation of a Sale or Lease price that
will produce results, but we also outline a marketing plan.
The plan includes, but is not limited to subscription property
databases, the Commercial Multiple Listing Service, Advertising,
and Brochures and Fliers.
We
consistently close Sales and Leases by working with our fellow
Commercial Brokers and Agents. Our priority is taking the
"Available" sign off the building. Working with
Agents, both local and nationwide, increases our opportunities
to move product. We exceed the national average for co-broking
property Sales and Leases with agents outside our company
by 32%.

Buyer
Representation
Buyer
Representation: Commercial Real Estate Brokerage has changed
over the past few years, just as Residential Real Estate Brokerage
has. Now, agents represent the interests of not just sellers
but Buyers too. With Buyer representation, Buyers have the
opportunity to sign an exclusive agreement with our agency
just as Sellers do. Through this agreement, we work exclusively
for the Buyer finding properties that fit their Commercial
or Industrial needs (for anywhere from one week, to one year,
one property to a hundred). The Buyer has the added benefit
of knowing that we are working to find them the ideal Office,
High-Tech or Industrial site. We report to them, every site,
which we find. We don't look at only our listings we search
all the available properties on the market, as well as, numerous
properties which are not actively on the market, or are being
offered directly by their owners.
Further,
when we speak to customers who have unique space needs, we
have a better chance of finding the best space fit by looking
at properties not on the market. When we speak to Buyers about
unlisted properties, we ask that the Buyer guarantee our commission
payment. While this may scare some Buyers, in truth, it is
a benefit. By paying our commission , the Buyer widens the
net of possible sites that we can consider. Also, Buyers nearly
always pay the commission in one form or another at the closing
table. For more information about Buyers paying brokerage
commission, see our FAQ page.

Tenant
Representation
In
the same way that Buyer Representation has evolved, so has
Commercial/Industrial Tenant Representation. An agent who
represents a Tenant, works to find each and every property
on the market that fits the Tenant's needs. Signing an agreement
and formalizing the relationship works to the Tenant's benefit,
in that, they are more readily able to hold the agent responsible
for doing the job at hand. These agreements can last for a
week to a year, one site to a hundred. Generally, agreements
to represent a Tenant do not include commission arrangements.

Consultation
Services
With
over 50 years of combined experience, members of The Geenty
Group, Realtors have made consulting a nearly integral part
of our services. When it comes to Commercial/Industrial Real
Estate, signing the Lease or the Purchase and Sale Agreement
is just the beginning. The following are items where we will
lend a hand:
Phase
I: Part of the Industrial Revolution's Legacy is contamination.
A Phase I survey (or Site Assessment) is necessary in the
State of Connecticut when Industrial or Commercial property
is transferred. We keep a list of reputable Environmental
Engineering Firms who provide these assessment services and
put the property seller (who traditionally orders and pays
for the survey) in touch with an Engineer at one of these
companies. For more information about Phase I, II or III surveys,
check our FAQ.
Construction:
No matter how perfect a building is for a Tenant, there is
always construction or demolition work to be done, whether
it's removing a hung ceiling, erecting a couple extra offices,
replacing a roof, upgrading HVAC equipment or a myriad of
other possibilities. We have knowledge, references and in
some cases, relationships with licensed electricians, plumbers,
general contractors and roofers. We often provide our clients
with names and numbers of contractors who would likely bid
on a project, and we look over bids with our clients, checking
to make sure that a toilet is included with a lav, or a sink
with a kitchenette, make sure that the depth of foundation
for a new loading dock is spelled out, or, just what that
roof warranty really means.
Beyond
Furniture: Providing our clients with the names of reputable
Office Furniture Purveyors, is just the beginning. For a back
office use, we put some of our clients in touch with reputable
used office furniture dealers. Need a conveyor system for
your distribution concern. Recently we put one client in touch
who needed racking and conveyance systems, in touch with the
consultant who was liquidating trade assets for a failed company.
Near new conveyance system for a greatly reduced price. We
take the traditional channels, and move far beyond them.
