Your Buying Advantage
How we help you buy smarter
Buyer Representation
When you buy commercial property through Lornell, we work exclusively in your interest. We search both listed and off-market properties, screen opportunities against your criteria, and present only the buildings worth your time. Our buyer representation costs you nothing -- the seller pays our commission.
Due Diligence
Before you buy any commercial building, our team coordinates thorough due diligence including property inspections, environmental assessments (Phase I and Phase II), title searches, zoning verification, and lease audits for tenanted properties. We identify risks before they become your problem.
Financing Guidance
Buying commercial property requires the right capital structure. We connect you with lenders experienced in commercial real estate, help you evaluate SBA 504 loans, conventional mortgages, 1031 exchanges, and seller financing options to find the structure that maximizes your return on investment.
The Process
How to buy commercial property.
Buying commercial real estate in Worcester follows a structured process designed to protect your investment and maximize value. Whether you're purchasing your first commercial building or adding to an existing portfolio, understanding each phase helps you move decisively when the right opportunity appears.
Search and evaluation begins with defining your acquisition criteria -- property type, size, location, budget, and investment goals. We then source properties from listings, off-market leads, and our broker network to build a targeted shortlist.
Financial analysis includes underwriting each property's net operating income, calculating cap rates and cash-on-cash returns, projecting rent growth, and stress-testing the investment against your financing terms before you make an offer.
Negotiation and closing involves structuring a competitive offer, negotiating price and terms, managing the due diligence period, coordinating with attorneys and lenders, and navigating the closing process to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership.
Financing Options
Smart ways to finance your purchase.
The right financing structure can be the difference between a good investment and a great one when buying commercial property in Worcester. Multiple lending programs serve different buyer profiles, and we help you identify the best fit for your situation.
SBA 504 loans allow owner-occupants to buy commercial property with as little as 10% down, offering fixed interest rates for 25 years. SBA 504 is widely used for purchasing commercial buildings in Worcester where prices fall within program limits.
Conventional commercial mortgages typically require 20-30% down with 5-10 year terms and 20-25 year amortization. Interest rates and terms vary by property type, buyer experience, and lender relationship.
1031 tax-deferred exchanges let you sell an existing investment property and buy commercial property in Worcester while deferring capital gains taxes -- a powerful tool for investors looking to trade up into a stronger market.
