The Ultimate Guide to Selling Your Warehouse or Industrial Property in South Florida
Selling a warehouse or industrial property isn’t as simple as putting up a “For Sale” sign. It requires planning, market knowledge, and the right broker to get the best value. At John Diaz Group, we help property owners manage the warehouse sales process from start to finish—with clarity, confidence, and maximum results.Whether you’re retiring, reinvesting, or ready to move on, this guide outlines the key steps to selling your warehouse successfully.
Step 1: Determine the Value of Your Warehouse
Understanding your property’s market value is the first step. A Broker Opinion of Value (BOV) provides a professional estimate based on factors like:- Location and proximity to highways or ports
- Building condition, age, and layout
- Ceiling height and loading docks
- Tenant occupancy and lease agreements (if applicable)
- Recent comparable property sales
Step 2: Get the Property Ready for Sale
Presentation matters, even for industrial properties. To improve marketability:- Clean the exterior and remove clutter
- Fix visible damage or maintenance issues
- Organize the interior if the warehouse is still in use
- Collect all important documents: title, surveys, lease agreements, environmental reports
