How can The Hellwig Team get better multi-family sales results than the other guys? Candidly, we all have most of the same tools to market your property. So why do so many of the other commercial brokers keep all their listings ‘in house’? Is it pressure from management to do it that way? Is it because they don’t want to spend the money and effort for in-depth and detailed marketing? Is it greed…trying to ‘double-end’ all their sales?

We’re not sure why, but we know it’s definitely not in an owner’s best interest to have their listing kept ‘in-house’. We have seen so many commercial agents do it this way—for over 30 years—and still now, even with all the new tools to give properties incredible exposure to the market.

We think it’s unethical to ‘hide’ an owner’s listing from the open market. Unfortunately, it’s been done this way for decades… at the risk of costing sellers literally hundreds of thousands of dollars during their transaction.

The Hellwig Team will make sure your property quickly gets the maximum exposure you deserve. No hidden ‘in-house only’ marketing. That’s ridiculous. We promise we will get your property listed on all 6 MLS systems with expediency, so buyers statewide, nationally, and worldwide can see your listing. Don’t settle for anything less!

Why should your property be in all 6 MLS systems? First there is Crexi, Moody’s, and Costar. All three are MLS systems used nationally by the commercial real estate brokerage industry when searching for properties for their buyers. In addition, for larger properties or properties that can be assembled, these 3 MLS systems are also used as a prime search source by REITs and syndicators.

Loopnet is used by many commercial brokers when searching for their buyers but more importantly, it is the ‘public commercial MLS’ (similar to residential Zillow), used as a source by many buyers who are looking on their own.

IRES and REColorado are the two residential MLS systems that we also utilize for our sellers. Why use residential MLS systems when marketing commercial real estate? First, both have a commercial and multi-family listings section. But most importantly, we have found that about 25% of residential agents have at least one big investor they know and are actively searching for, so these two systems can be a solid source for marketing. In fact, many residential brokers have a multi-family portfolio themselves and are networked with other multi-family buyers.

We know residential specialists who have not only done big multi-family deals but also large office deals and even hotel transactions. As a seller, you’d be missing a significant amount of prospects by skipping the residential MLS systems as a valuable marketing source.

While the other guys are ‘hiding’ their listings only within their office, we are covering all the bases for our sellers… to get them in front of every potential buyer… and to get them the best opportunities for great offers!

The Hellwig Team has a reputation for bringing apartment owners multiple offers on their buildings. By positioning your property with professional interior, exterior, and aerial drone photos, current and pro forma financials, incisive property and area descriptions, an informational offering memorandum (OM), all combined with outstanding marketing through all 6 MLS systems, we will give you the best chance to have maximum interest and multiple offers. We’ve done it for other owners. Let us do it for you!
