Make your commercial property stand out to prospective tenants and buyers.
If you’re preparing to show an office space, retail storefront, or warehouse, presentation is everything. A well-prepared tour can significantly increase the chance of securing interest or closing a deal. Use the tips below to make your commercial property tour-ready.
1. Start with Curb Appeal
First impressions matter.
Make sure the outside of your building is just as presentable as the inside. Clean walkways, fresh landscaping, and clear signage help guide visitors and create a positive first impression. A well-maintained exterior shows that the space is cared for and ready for business.
2. Showcase Key Interior Features
Every space has highlights—make sure yours are on display.
Focus on areas like reception spaces, conference rooms, restrooms, and break areas. Ensure lighting is bright and natural where possible. If your property includes tech upgrades, security features, or renovated finishes, make them part of the conversation.
3. Handle Maintenance in Advance
Small repairs make a big difference.
Fix any flickering lights, stains, or scuffed walls before the tour. Clean carpets and windows to help the space feel fresh and move-in ready. Make sure HVAC and plumbing are working smoothly. A well-maintained property builds trust.
4. Prioritize Accessibility and Compliance
Ensure your space is safe and accessible.
Check that entrances and common areas are ADA-compliant and that emergency exits and safety signage are clearly marked. Make your guests’ visit easy by managing door codes, parking access, or gated entries in advance.
5. Plan a Logical Tour Path
Walk your space the way a visitor would.
Start the tour with the most impressive or customer-facing areas, then work your way through the space logically. End in a bright open area or a place where you can sit down to discuss details and answer questions.
6. Have Marketing Materials Ready
Leave something behind.
Prepare brochures or flyers with floor plans, key features, square footage, lease terms, and contact information. You can also include a QR code to link to a virtual tour or highlight nearby businesses and amenities.
7. Create a Welcoming Atmosphere
Set the right tone for the tour.
Keep the lighting warm and bright. If it fits the space, play soft background music or lightly stage the area to help clients visualize the possibilities. Comfort and clarity go a long way.
