How It Works

How Selling Directly Works

No listing agreement, no commission charged to you by us, and no obligation. A property review simply tells you whether a direct sale is the right tool for your building.

Step 01

Tell us about the property

Share the address, property type, occupancy, condition, and the situation you are working through. A few minutes by phone or form is enough to start.

Step 02

We review the building

We look at the property, ownership and title, any tenants and leases, the debt or payoff picture, and any liens, taxes, or code concerns. We may visit the building.

Step 03

We discuss a direct purchase

If it is a fit, we talk through a direct purchase path and price. If it is not, we tell you plainly. Either way you get a straight answer from the people who own the company.

Step 04

We close through title

Closing is handled through a title company and the proper closing process. We coordinate payoffs and lien releases, and we can often move faster than a financed buyer.

How a direct sale works in four steps: 1) Share details — the seller provides property information and financial performance; 2) Rapid review — the team assesses property value and fit; 3) Make an offer — a direct purchase proposal to the owner; 4) Close the deal — transfer of ownership in weeks.

What we review before we make an offer

Commercial buildings are not interchangeable, so the review is specific to your property. Depending on the asset and the situation, we look at:

  • Physical condition, age, and any deferred maintenance or known repairs.
  • Occupancy, tenants, leases, and rent roll for income property.
  • Title and ownership, including liens, judgments, and back taxes.
  • Zoning and permitted use, access and parking, and any environmental or code concerns.
  • The debt or payoff picture, and any lender or foreclosure timeline.

What you can expect from us

We are a direct buyer, not a broker. That means an off-market sale: no listing, no public marketing of your situation, and no commission charged to you by us. It also means the answer is honest: we will either move toward a direct purchase or tell you the property is not a fit for us. Because decisions are made locally by the owners of the company, you are not waiting on a national committee.

Listing with a broker versus a direct sale with Kentuckiana Commercial Co.: commissions 4–6% versus none; closing costs about 2% versus minimal; repairs often required versus none, sold as-is; financing and inspection contingencies versus basic due diligence; public, multiple showings versus none, private; months on market versus weeks to close; a deal that can fall through versus capital in place.

A review is not a commitment. Asking us to look at a building does not obligate you to sell, and it costs nothing.
