Selling commercial property in Houston is an offering, not a weekend open house. Joyce Tang prices from income, occupancy, and replacement cost, then takes the building to qualified users and investors under the confidentiality you need.
If the asset is vacant, leased, or mixed-use, the process still starts here. Share the address and rent roll to get a sale path, not a listing template.
Who this is for
- Owners ready to sell an office, retail, industrial, medical office, or flex building
- Partners rotating capital into a 1031 replacement
- Owner-users who have outgrown the building or are leaving Houston
How a sale runs
- Assemble rent roll, expenses, leases, and physical facts.
- Set asking strategy: user sale, investment sale, or both.
- Prepare a confidential offering and a buyer list.
- Manage showings, offers, diligence, and closing.
What buyers actually underwrite
They read occupancy, remaining lease term, parking, dock, roof, HVAC, and whether a user can operate on day one. Residential upgrades do not move this price.

Questions
Do I have to list it publicly?
Not always. Many commercial sales start off-market to a qualified list. We will say when a public listing actually helps.
What if the building is vacant?
Vacant product sells to users and to investors with a lease-up plan. The offering has to be honest about downtime, tenant improvement, and carrying cost.
Can this close on a 1031 timeline?
Yes, if identification and closing dates are designed from day one. The replacement search can run on the buy page in parallel.
Next step
