When you have a vacancy at your commercial property you’ll want to take some steps to prepare it for leasing. Whether it’s a new property you just purchased or you’re preparing it between tenants, you should go through a series of steps before you market it for better success.
One thing you’ll want to do is walk through the property and see if there is anything that needs to be fixed. Even minor things like changing out burned out lightbulbs should be corrected before you have someone in the space.
Fixing problems isn’t the only step you’ll need to take though. You’ll also need to clean up the space. Don’t show the property until all of the dust and clutter is taken care of. Wait till the previous tenant is completely moved out so the potential new tenants can really get a feel for how big the space is and what the floor plan looks like. This will help them determine if it’s the right space to rent. Beyond the clutter, you need to clean the property’s interior from top to bottom, getting rid of any dirt left behind.
Give your space some new life with a fresh coat of paint and bright lights. This may mean you need to do some repairs on the walls prior, especially if you had a previous tenant. There may be holes to fill or even some drywall that needs to be fixed or replaced. Once everything is ready for painting, you can apply those coats. It’s best to stick to neutral colors that appeal to a larger group of tenants. Adding bright lights can make the space more hospitable. Most business owners will appreciate a bright space over a dull one.
When your rental is ready to be marketed, you’ll want to take some quality photos. These photos should capture multiple angles of the space and show off the amenities that the rental has to offer.
