Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

eCommission Financial Services Inc. (eCommission), the nation’s leading provider of commission advance services to real estate sales professionals, announced the launch of Commercial Real Estate Commission Advance. Under the program, Sales Representatives and Brokers can receive commission advances on pending commercial transactions as well as closed commercial lease agreements. Funds are wired to the clients bank account within 24 hours from approval and the cost to advance is added to the repayment amount due upon a successful settlement.

Sean Whaling, eCommission Founder, explains the new program. We have advanced commissions on pending residential sales for years and continue to do so. But commercial agents and brokers also find themselves waiting weeks, often months, to receive commission payouts on pending transactions. This new program gives them greater control over their business cash flow. Its something no other advance company is currently doing.

Commercial Resale Advance provides advances of up to $ 10,000 per transaction on the basis of having a pending multi-family, office, industrial, retail or commercially zoned land transaction that is scheduled to close within 120 days. The contract must be within the non-refundable stage and advances are made by wire transfer directly to the customers bank account.

Commercial Lease Advance provides advances of up to $ 10,000 per transaction to commercial leasing agents and brokers on completed (closed) office lease transactions where the tenant has moved into the space and commissions are expected to be paid out by the landlord within 8 months.

With over 300 million in commission advances since launching their service in the United States in 2000, eCommission is the endorsed national alliance partner for COLDWELL BANKER

Clopton Capital is a semi truck financing provider and is located in Chicago, IL. They primarily focus on commercial mortgages, SBA loans and niche financing mechanisms such as gas station loans and owner operator financing. The founder of Clopton Capital is Jake Clopton and this press release is part of Clopton Capital’s consistent effort to remain involved with the public, namely their future clients. Clopton Capital can be contacted at CloptonCapital.com.

Clopton Capital is currently seeking networked relationships with successful real estate development firms. The firm is a commercial real estate loan provider that wants to arrange competitive and mutually beneficial commercial loan relationships with companies currently developing high end commercial and dense residential real estate projects. The advantages the firm is willing to provide to secure such loyalty includes discounted fees on their services and an increased efficiency in underwriting loans by having in-house credibility before a project is even presented by an existing client. If I already have succeeded in proving you with a certain type of commercial loan once then it’s going to be much easier to provide financing for a similar project using a similar product the next time. You get the appropriate and trusted partnerships in place and you nurture them, this is how we intend to thrive, said Jake Clopton, the founder of Clopton Capital.

Clopton Capital believes that they can offer better service and more competitive loan services to firms who currently source commercial capital on a case-by-case basis. The transactional cost of constantly having to source commercial financing from new sources is bad business for both the provider of commercial loans and the user of them. We can both benefit by creating loyal relationships with real estate developers, said Matt Reed, an associate of the firm. To inquire about such a partnership with Clopton Capital, visit their website CloptonCapital.com and fill out the contact form.

Clopton Capital can be contacted at their website CloptonCapital.com or at 866.647.1650 during regular business hours central time. Their website contains more specific information about their commercial loans. Their website dedicated entirely to semi truck financing is SemiTruckSource.com.

Vancouver Investment Commercial Industrial Real Estate Sector Getting Strong Vote of Confidence from Investors

A recent Newswire.ca news release contained some strong numbers for commercial real estate investment across most major Canadian markets. Commercial real estate sales in dollar volume in Canada has already surpassed the 2009 total. The strong activity has largely been driven by a healthy demand for retail space and an active REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) sector.

By the end of the third quarter this year, over $ 12 billion in commercial real estate will have changed hands in Canada, up over 57% for the same 9 month period the previous year. Toronto has been the most active market while Vancouver has been the most expensive (with an overall capitalization rate of 6.12% and falling.)

Bill Ageropolous, VP and Director of Research for commercial real estate broker Avison Young comments that

” Compared to last year, the results to date are a welcome sign that the commercial real estate investment market is gaining traction in Canada,” continues Argeropoulos.

“This upswing is attributed to a number of factors, including stable and improving market fundamentals, historically low borrowing costs, high availability of debt, a narrowing bid-ask gap and the emergence of REITs as active buyers.” Ageropolous added that cap rates may continue to drop from those buyers venting their frustration at being previously shut out of the market and now have the capital sitting on the sidelines ready to deploy.

Vancouver Avison Young Principal Mike Gill commented that “”the recent influx of foreign capital from Europe, the Far East and the Middle East, together with competition from local investor capital, has applied further pressure to already declining cap rates for the premier assets”.

It looks like condos and houses are not the only real estate assets whose prices are being affected upwards by Asian foreign investment.

As real estate investors are looking for new entry opportunities and ways to make bigger profit in the current economy, much of the typical and conventional “wisdom” that may work for some may not work for all.

A prime example is the so-called Commercial Gold Rush Foreclosure “Opportunity” This example of over-hyped real estate information from marketing gurus, is all about the “huge” profits to be made with commercial foreclosures. There are quite a few new expensive real estate courses being sold by these self-proclaimed gurus who seem to know everything about marketing and sales in the industry. But do they?

Thousands of new investors have been essentially taken in with these products. They have been enticed with the promise of quick profits and real estate success. The sales pitch about the opportunity involves snatching up distressed real commercial property and then quickly selling it for a profit. Their idea revolves around the assumption that building owners just want to walk away from their troubles by giving the property back to the bank. Since many banks do not want the bad debt, it goes to the assumption there are some good profit-making opportunities.

Typically, these courses purport to include information on where to look for foreclosure opportunities or how to legally “steal from banks”. These commercial real estate courses also teach methods for “capitalizing” on property owners in distress. The sales pitch is that all the new investor has to do is simply put new management in place, get the building rented out, then turn around and sell the property for “massive” profits. Since this is the “valuable” information they taut that give investors the inside track on how to get a hold of these so-called “goldmine” opportunities, it’s no surprise that new real estate investors have been buying (into) these types of products in droves!

The Flaw with Commercial Foreclosure Opportunity Products

On the surface, especially for newbies, the opportunity that could have them making huge amounts of profit is tempting and seems rather legitimate. However, these real estate courses are definitely not for everyone and frequently teach the process in much simpler detail than what it really takes to succeed in Commercial Foreclosures.

What DOES work in today’s real estate market is getting back to the basics of real estate investing and learning from the ground up! Though money may not come as quickly, the building of relationships builds credibility! This is KEY as a real estate investor, whether new or experienced. It is fundamentally VITAL to your success. In these economic times it can be difficult for anyone but especially for the “newbies” just coming on to the scene.

TRUE success in the real estate investment field involves market research, figuring out which commercial foreclosures represent good opportunities, and finding buyers for those properties. Finding buyers, especially in this rough economy is tough, it takes practice, it takes experience to know how to be a success in this business.

Like the California Gold Rush of its day, this “Commercial Gold Rush” will have both winners and losers, too. If you remember your history your will recall there were far few winners… True, some experienced investors and some new real estate investors can profit from these opportunities that are created by commercial foreclosures, BUT the many inexperienced individuals who have been falling for these fly-by night, expensive real estate courses promising RICHES are only doomed for failure. I highly recommend not becoming one of those “Sheeple”, following the crowd over the cliff… and Investing in Commercial Real Estate the tried and true way!

Commercial real estate agents deal with companies and investors searching for a space to operate their businesses. As there are residential real estate agents that connect people to homes, commercial real estate agents connect investors to profit. Commercial real estate can be evaluated by two things: cash flow and value build-up.

Here are a few tips that you should remember when you plan to invest in a commercial real estate property.  Commercial real estate sales are quite few on the market. Select at least two or three properties that you would invest in. Broaden your search to include farther sales opportunities. Commercial real estate agents can provide you a list of recent commercial sales.

Inspect the property personally. Similar to residential real estates, you must examine the internal and external structure of the property. Take note of the roofing, utility systems, ceiling heights and amenities such as in-office bathrooms and reception areas.

Parking lots and security systems are also amenities and qualities that potential tenants may require.

Potential repairs that will take two to three years should be taken into account. Impress the clients by getting renovations and room improvement for the commercial establishment. Also, consider the neighboring competitors around the area. This could greatly affect the success or failure of your venture.

Tenants are attracted to office spaces that would increase their sales and productivity. So it is important to foresee what can be achieved through the location of a raleigh office space.

Evaluate and search for potential entrepreneurs fitted for the property and location. There are different building and structure classifications for commercial real estate.

A newly renovated raleigh office space appeals to high profile tenants and is usually occupied by doctors and lawyers. These structures belong to Class A buildings. Functional spaces are often rented by economical companies that operate walk-in transactions and cash-and-carry businesses. These establishments belong to Class C buildings.

Assess property value. The value of commercial real estate can be divided by the tenant’s rent to the average return investment. It would be wise to use a commercial marketing analysis on your raleigh office space to determine its price. Know which type of property has a high possibility to be sold or rented by companies.

When most people think of real estate investment, they think of rental homes and apartments. However, current economic conditions make rental real estate riskier than ever. Even good honest tenants are subject to losing their jobs and being unable to pay rent. Furthermore, declining property values and rising taxes and insurance negatively impact profit potential.

Commercial real estate investment offers an attractive alternative to residential real estate. Leases are long-term and the checks are less likely to bounce. There are two basic types of commercial real estate investments: direct and indirect.

In direct commercial real estate investment, you purchase one or more business buildings. This option requires a large amount of capital and offers little liquidity. As the owner, you will be responsible for management and maintenance issues. Office buildings and manufacturing facilities usually provide long-term tenants and greater stability than retail establishments. But if you need your money, you have to find a buyer for the building. And again, you will have tax and insurance issues.

Novice investors have been burned by hidden environmental problems or zoning issues, so make sure to seek the advice of an attorney knowledgeable in commercial real estate issues.

Indirect real estate investments allow the smaller investor to enjoy the benefits of commercial real estate with fewer disadvantages. Funds from many investors are pooled and used for commercial investments. The fund’s directors hire managers and address maintenance issues. Furthermore, shares in the fund can be sold at will, improving investors’ liquidity.

There are many options in indirect real estate investments. You can consider the pros and cons of various investment types. For example, you may decide that America’s aging population makes medical building investments a “sure thing”. On the other hand, concerns about national health insurance issues leading to restrictive regulations in the medical industry may lead you to look elsewhere for investment opportunities.

The global marketplace makes it possible to invest in real estate anywhere in the world. However, differing regulations and politics may increase risk. On the other hand, rapid growth and profit potential may make the risks worth taking.

Like most investments, the costs of real estate investment shares have dropped considerably. However, the returns are still excellent compared to other investments.

And the real estate investors’ mantra “They’re not making any more land” is as true as ever.

You can go online to research major real estate investment funds. Maybe you can find the perfect commercial real estate investment to meet your financial goals.

It does not matter how many commercial real estate deals an investor goes through, they always have an established process that they utilize every single time to assure they cover all their bases and increase the likelihood of a great investment. Synergy has a lot of meaning in the commercial real estate market. By utilizing synergy of process and assets one can realize huge results and profits by making minor adjustments to strategy. Those minor adjustments can often mean the difference between success and failure.

With the most quoted statement of the day, serious attention was suddenly thrust on the commercial real estate market. It came from Representative Carolyn Maloney, democrat from New York and Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee: “The commercial real estate time bomb is ticking.”

This was in reference to some shocking statistics they came up with that indicate the commercial market may end up crashing within months, like the real estate market did, and might take until 2012 or 2014 to begin to recover.

The numbers are stunning. More than 5,300 businesses have bailed on commercial real estate loans as of June of this year, more than twice the number as of last year at the same time. Around $ 700 billion in commercial mortgages need to be refinanced before the end of 2010, and banks aren’t giving up the money. Losses on commercial mortgage-backed securities are expected to be between 9 and 12%of the market, or as much as $ 90 billion, and another $ 140 billion in losses are expected from construction loans made by banks.

Commercial real estate debt is sitting around $ 3.5 trillion (yes, the dreaded “T” word). And commercial property values have dropped anywhere from 40 to 55% across the country.

In April, the second largest owner of shopping malls in the nation filed for bankruptcy protection, and other mall corporations around the country are finding banks playing hardball by either ending loans already in existence or not loaning out anything new. In New York, one corporation is actually suing Citigroup, trying to get the courts to force a bank to lend them money.

Why is this all such a big deal? At stake, states James Helsel of the National Association of Realtors, are 9 million jobs that these companies provide, and with unemployment already at 9.5% across the country, no one needs another 9 million people looking for jobs that won’t exist without a place to go to work those jobs.

The Federal government is trying to do its part. First, they launched a program trying to get banks to lend more money to consumers and small businesses. The program, known as the Term-Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, was opened to commercial real estate loans last month. The government is expected to make the program available for existing commercial mortgage securities, and announced back in June that they would accept as collateral the new issuance of commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Jon Greenlee, associate director of the Federal Reserve’s division of banking supervision, told the Joint Economic Committee panel that the central bank has stepped up training of its bank examiners so they are ready to deal with rising losses from the commercial real estate industry.

The worries are that, one, what already exists or is coming might not be enough and two, that these programs all expire at the end of the year. However, since many programs are actually extensions of some programs launched last year, and knowing that Congress is working hard to figure out ways to stem the slide of our economy, it’s expected that most of these programs will continue in some form, hoping to affect a turnaround in a much quicker time period.

Just like residential real estate contracts, Dallas commercial real estate contracts have their share of contingencies. In short, contingencies are found in most real estate contracts and are essentially escape clauses for both the buyer and the seller.

Each party wants to make sure they are protected in the real estate contract, so real estate contingencies are a common occurrence. They often make the contract much easier to handle for both the buyer and the seller, as it provides them with an opportunity to back out of the contract for a number of reasons.

Although both residential and Dallas commercial real estate contracts both have contingencies, the contingencies themselves are quite a bit different. The following list details some of the common contingencies found in Dallas commercial real estate contracts:

When purchasing a parcel of land for Dallas commercial real estate, the contract may be subject to the approval of the buyers attorney. Because Dallas commercial real estate contracts may be decidedly more in depth than residential real estate contracts, waiting on the approval of your attorney when buying Dallas commercial real estate is quite common. It is also common to have a contingency that is based on a business professionals partner or investor, as it is important to get approval from everyone involved before the contract is finalized.

Many commercial real estate contracts include contingencies that are based on financing approval for the buyer. For tracts of land, this contingency may include approval of a legal survey, if one has not already been done. In addition, a buyer will likely want to include in the purchase agreement some language about obtaining necessary permits and zoning for the commercial property.

When speaking of commercial tracts of land, there may be a contingency with verbiage regarding liens on the property. In particular, the purchase of the land will be contingent on no environmental cleanup liens.

It is common to have a contingency based on: the buyer achieving a loan of at least 75 percent of the purchase price of the Dallas commercial real estate property; the buyer being satisfied with the inspectors report; and the buyer being satisfied that the property can be remodeled or renovated to his or her satisfaction. In other words, the buyer will likely include a series of contingencies based on the use of the commercial property and how it can and cannot be used.

The use of a realtor qualified in commercial real estate is crucial, as he or she will be able to guide you when making a commercial real estate transaction. Real estate companies, like VIP Realty, have a plethora of highly qualified and experienced realtors who have extensive experience in dealing with commercial real estate contracts. It is important to never enter into any type of real estate purchase agreement, whether residential or commercial, without advice from a trusted realtor and real estate attorney, as they will be able to best protect your interest in the real estate transaction.

In its most recent report released Jan 24, The National Association of Realtors anticipates “solid” gains in the US commercial real estate sector.

David Lereah, NAR’s chief economist said “Even with a lot of new construction around the country, we are seeing healthy levels of commercial real estate space being purchased, rented and occupied.

As a result, vacancies are declining across the board – this is improving the fundamentals for commercial real estate sectors into the foreseeable future.”

The report also sees rising concerns at the Fed that commercial real estate is being concentrated in some banks. According to Federal Reserve Governor, Susan Bies, The Fed is considering issuing “supervisory guidance” on risk-management to avoid commercial real estate exposure that was typical of previous economic downturns.

According to NAR’s latest forecast vacancy rates are generally declining across most of the 57 metropolitan areas examined. This means rents are stabilizing in all four commercial market sectors: office, retail, industrial and multifamily housing.

Employment increases in all sectors is what is driving the lower vacancy rates. According to the NAR, these rates are expected to fall to 14.1 percent by the fourth quarter of 2005 and to 12.2 percent in 2006. This is down from 15.4 percent in 2004. They project that office space rent will grow 4.4 percent for 2005 and 4.9 percent next year That is up significantly from 2004 when the increase was just 0.4 percent.

Their analysis of specific metro areas for investment singles out New York, Los Angeles, Washington, San Francisco and Chicago as good targets for commercial real estate investment.

In the industrial sector vacancies are projected to go down to 8.8 percent by the end of 2006 compared to 10.9 percent last year. Industrial rents, actually declined slightly in 2005, but are projected to increase 2.5 percent in 2006.

Retail space vacancy is predicted to hit 6.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005, down from 7.5 percent the previous year. Rents are expected to rise 3.2 percent in 2006 after a similar increase in 2005. Increases in 2004 were 3.3 percent.

**Some Local Commercial Real Estate hi-lites**

The St. Louis region had an all-time high of $ 1.2 billion in commercial real estate transactions in 2005. Local real estate experts predict it will be even higher in 2006 – perhaps as high as $ 1.4 billion.

A Colliers report found that industrial vacancy rates in the region were at a five-year low, and demand for office and retail space had fully recovered from the recession a few years ago.

Part of what is driving the real estate boom is that investors have moved from the stock market to commercial real estate. Many investors prefer commercial real estate because it is more transparent and provides a steady cash return as well as a reliable rate of appreciation.

In the Bradenton, Florida area (Manatee County) commercial real estate is also going strong. Local experts say commercial development follows residential, so given the rapid pace of residential development in most of Florida over the last few years, there is little likelihood that commercial development is going to slow down any time soon.

Development here as elsewhere is also dependent on interest rates, but in Florida the cyclical nature of real estate development is somewhat mitigated by the unique location and climate, as well as a shifting demographic pattern.

Lack of convenient parking, and traffic on main downtown streets, as well as a limited number of downtown development sites are the biggest challenges facing commercial real estate developers in this smaller Florida city.

In the Marina Del Rey area of Los Angeles about $ 1.5 billion in commercial and residential improvements are underway. The county is encouraging leaseholders to make improvements to boost visitors and increase county revenue.

So far two shopping centers have been renovated and the marina’s shops and restaurants, called Fisherman’s Village, will be completely renovated.

Approximately 1,600 apartments are being added, at the same time as reducing the number of boat slips at the 40-year-old marina.

Owners who are seeking to promote their business properties take advantage of commercial real estate auctions for many different reasons, one of which is that there are many benefits they enjoy with participation in this selling method. Some of the rewards include a quick product sales cycle, a chance to acquire fair market value for their property, and lower overall charges, costs and fees in comparison to those of the more conventional selling methods. The popularity of this method of buying and selling is growing at a quick rate as more property owners and buyers discover these benefits and more.

With the real estate market at a virtual standstill, there really is not a bad time to participate in online commercial real estate auctions to buy property. If you are a broker, you need to make sure that any online real estate auctions website you are using is the best website for your goals. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding brokers and these types of online auctions for commercial property.

What Online Auction Service Should I Use?

Brokers, especially commercial real estate brokers, need to use an online auction service that is designed specifically for them. A good platform should generate customized auction websites for your listings using your name and brand. The best websites are distinct in fee structure; they are going to have the lowest fee structures available. A difference between the best sites and those that are standard is the way that their commercial online real estate auctions are marketed. Local brokerage teams are best equipped to reach the right pool of buyers. There are many real estate auction companies who claim that they can help brokers with marketing, and they very well may be able to, but in the end they charge higher fee structures. However, the best companies are those who know that the local broker is the best source for information about many different types of properties. And, the best companies for residential and commercial online real estate auctions use models that allow the brokerage team to keep 100% of their commission!

What are the Advantages of Using Commercial Real Estate Auctions to Sell Property?

In a stagnant market, commercial online real estate auctions create deadlines, which get the buyers motivated to move on the property they are interested in. There is a limited window of opportunity for buyers to obtain the property, and they will acquire it at the best possible price. In addition, many buyers enjoy the transparency of the process of the commercial real estate auctions that take place online.

It is probably the natural instinct of our kind to invest in a house of our own. Therefore, buying and selling of property has become so popular and the real estate business is flourishing.

Real estate refers to property that is attached to land. Generally, this term is used for things rather than for people. The term is used for land and the structure on that particular land.

In the States, real estate has become a flourishing business. Economists actually believe that the lowering of revenue in the States is related to this real estate business which generates lower revenue. When Americans once again start looking at land as a business investment, the revenue will automatically rise.

There can be residential, commercial and industrial real estate.

Residential real estate arises when a family wants to shift home. They may want to buy a house or a flat. Someone will need to sell it to them. People find it hard to do all this on their own, being new to the place they are moving into. For this, they need the help of a professional to guide them. This person will have to show them a map of the area so that they get a good idea about the place they are shifting into. They will have to decide, with his help, whether they want real estate on rent or they want to buy it. This person who helps them is the agent. He will help them to save time and money by even giving them a tour of the place, the houses and the flats. He will help them to get a good bargain as well.

Canada and The United States of America have a multiple listing system [MLS]. This helps people to find property fast. It also gives them information about who is selling the property and the rates.

Most of the time, when someone wants to buy a house, they call a real estate broker to help them out. They then tell the broker what kind of real estate they are looking for and where exactly they would want it. They also tell him how much they would be willing to pay. The broker will then look through the MLS to find something that he thinks his client will be happy with. Right now, there are about 800 MLS in the US.

A commercial real estate broker provides a service between buyers, sellers, and rental agreements of real estate. Brokers are responsible for managing a team of real estate agents, to assist people in buying, selling, leasing, or renting commercial properties.

Properties handled by commercial brokerages often include office buildings, hotels, apartments, retail, hospitality, shopping centers, and industrial properties. For clients who are building on raw land, brokers can help assist the client in managing the construction process, including inspections, identifying zoning restrictions and building codes, and guidance to ensure that necessary steps are taken to make sure that the building is completed on time, and within budget.

When working for a seller or landlord of a commercial property, the broker has a signed agreement with the client and sets out to achieve the best possible price with the best terms for their client. While a broker is working for the seller or landlord they may also assist buyers in finding a commercial property to suit their needs, and budget. But in these cases there is never a pre-written agreement, on the buyer’s behalf.

In most states, to become a real estate broker, a license is required. This allows the broker to receive money in return for services rendered. It is illegal for a broker to conduct business without a license, unless they are a practicing attorney who is not required to sit for a broker’s license in order to receive a commission.

It is important that those interested in becoming a broker make sure that they look into their respective states guidelines on becoming a commercial real estate broker, as requirements, and regulations can differ significantly between states.

In many states, licenses are issued for a certain time frame. After that, the broker is required to complete further education to renew their licenses. These further education requirements are especially important to make sure the broker is kept up to date with real estate law updates, and changes in the industry.

How To Become A Real Estate Broker
Brokers usually start out as real estate agents. This is where they gain their industry experience, and then decide to become a licensed commercial real estate broker. In order to get a broker’s license, the real-estate agent must pass a brokers state exam, as well as complete some course work, or training. Usually, after receiving accreditation, the broker will either continue to work for another broker, as an associate broker, or start a business of their own where they will manage a team of real estate agents.

Brokers, who have their own brokerage business with real estate agents to manage, must have a very good working knowledge of legal procedures, and requirements. It is their job to educate, and advise both their real estate agents, as well as clients who come to them for advice on commercial selling, rental, or building.

What Services A Commercial Broker Provides
A broker will offer services such as an estimated value of a property, marketing of that property, and assistance to a buyer, or seller with the purchase, lease or sale of a property. Brokers may be called upon to provide for sale by owner (FSBO) document preparation, and paperwork, but in commercial properties this is much less of an occurrence than with privately owned residential properties.

A broker will also offer guides to property owners on how to sell, or rent their property, and assist with property management process. A broker will often fill out the paper work needed to sell or rent a property, although they are not given the authority to sign papers on behalf of their clients.

Commissions
Commercial Brokers receive a commission from the sale of a property. This is usually an agreed percentage of the sale price or part of the monthly rental income from the landlord. Brokers in the commercial industry must be very competitive, and have a good knowledge of their local area to make a sound income. But with these skills, there are definite monetary rewards offered to brokers. According to statistics the majority of commercial real estate brokers are on an annual income above $ 42,000 per annum, while some are earning a six figure income.
