Advantages for Owners to sell privately to buyers

[Matthew Rembish]

Lately, I have been thinking about sending out letters to owners of commercial properties I've been interested in but I only get one shot at contacting them so I want to make sure I get my point across as best I can. I haven't found any deals lately on the MLS or any other public platform so I am going to try contacting owners of properties not for sale to see if they have any interest in selling them. My main question is, what are some of the advantages I could express to the owner in selling to me now instead of listing it in the future? At this moment, I can think of saving on commission, avoiding some large tax hits if they decide to go the seller financing route and just being able to move onto bigger or different investments. Is there anything I'm missing? Is there anything I should or shouldn't say? This is the first time I'm doing this so I just want to make sure I'm as effective as possible while not coming off pushy.

Any feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks!
