Where can I find buyers for a commercial wholesale real estate deal?

[Dimitra Manou]

Hello everyone, I've found some deals which I would like to discuss with a serious commercial buyer. I'm a wholesaler and I've found some deals in Ocala and Jacksonville. Do you know how can I find commercial buyers? (it's a relatively small business)

Commercial brokers will almost all have a long list of serious commercial buyers. Just drive around Ocala and Jacksonville and anytime you see a commercial broker's sign in front of a building, call them. It'll take you no more than a day to find your buyers (assuming you actually have some good deals on your hands).

The only tricky part is making sure the broker doesn't try to grab the deal from under you. Because just as these brokers know a lot of the big buyers in town, they also have relationships with a lot of the building owners. So be mindful of this as you're sharing information. Probably a good plan to only share the deal details at first, not the address itself.
