Brokerage Services

Whether buying, selling or leasing Industrial/Office or Retail property, you need a partner that can meet your expectations and exceed your short and long term goals. Pennsylvania Commercial Real Estate, Inc. markets commercial properties both locally and nationally through the networks of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) and through strategic alliances with national real estate networks.

With Pennsylvania Commercial as your representative, your property will receive individual and personal attention, and be exposed to other prominent brokers, targeted prospects, area development groups and government agencies.

What’s more, your property will be marketed using the strongest, most successful approaches to making your deal happen, including but not limited to direct mail, foot/telephone canvassing, print media and powerful, established real estate networks.

Industrial/Office Brokerage


When it comes to industrial or office brokerage, the name of the game is timing, expertise and access to critical information at the right time. Our objective is to acquire, sell or lease your property expeditiously, at the best price the market can sustain. When a property becomes available through us, we immediately begin working with all other commercial brokers who are actively acquiring properties in that particular locale.
Retail Brokerage


Retail brokerage requires a different skill set than office or industrial brokerage. Assistance with financing, marketing, access to demographics, and ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers) information all demand a knowledge of marketplace challenges that only time and experience can provide. Pennsylvania Commercial has a history of retail leasing and development—from big box retail to neighborhood strip centers. We have successfully concluded transactions ranging from 500 square feet to half a million.

Development Consulting

Pennsylvania Commercial Real Estate, Inc. has experience in every phase of development consulting, including planning, budgeting, lease negotiations, financing, government approvals and project team contract negotiations. Our purpose as consultants is to assist the client in evaluating all alternatives available to them, and to act expediently once the best decision has been made.

We ask, and help you answer, all the right questions:


  • Negotiate lease before its expiration?

  • Consolidate office locations to reduce company’s operating overhead?

  • Purchase, develop or lease a new facility?

  • Re-evaluate or sell income producing properties?

  • Re-evaluate rental costs?

  • Is asset base fairly assessed?


  • As you can see, oftentimes it’s not as simple as just deciding to procure or build a new facility. These decisions are made in concert with our clients, combining hands-on experience, technical expertise and years of experience.
    Build To Suit


    If you are looking to build, then Pennsylvania Commercial can guide you from site selection and ground-breaking to construction of the completed facility and on-going property management. And we can help you manage and control the process at every step.

    We develop customized office and industrial facilities designed to meet specific criteria for function, location and cost efficiency. And to the company considering relocation, our experience with combining public and private funding for many of the largest corporate relocations in Western Pennsylvania has proven to be invaluable.

    The process of Development Consulting for Build To Suit includes the assembly of a team of professionals appropriate to the development of a building that fits your exacting needs. Contracts need to be negotiated and executed with architectural firms, contractors, environmental service firms, law firms, land planners, and more.

    We develop economic proformas used by public and private lenders to underwrite real estate projects—helping to secure your investment in the future of your company.

    Asset Management

    Pennsylvania Commercial Real Estate, Inc. is uniquely able to serve investors who require professional property management services.

    However, large organizations can become bureaucratic—not so with the Pennsylvania Commercial advantage. Our clients have one point of contact thereby maintaining continuity and providing an effortless service for the client’s management needs. Decisions are made locally and in concert with the property owner. No detail is too small for us to handle.

    Management of investment grade real estate is no longer simply about keeping the building “up and running.” Asset Management is now an ever-changing, fluid discipline that depends on technical know-how, experience and speed-to-market. Equipment and operating systems are sophisticated, and require expert engineering to maximize efficiency. Accounting and management information systems provide a level of property information never before seen in the industry.

    As an investor, reliable and accurate information is often needed at a moment’s notice. That’s why it is so critical to have all of the personnel who may need to be consulted for virtually any management situation available locally. The investor stays as involved in their property’s management as they would like. Regardless of their level of involvement, their property still receives prompt, efficient and effective service.

    Corporate Services

    Pennsylvania Commercial Real Estate, Inc.’s capabilities include working with corporations to assist in their portfolio management, either on a sales, leasing, or tenant representation basis. Here the structure of the Pennsylvania Commercial organization cannot be overlooked.

    A strong synergy exists between Management/Corporate Services and Brokerage Services that helps to promote the goals of the individual corporate client—maximizing the effectiveness of the overall management and leasing process. This synergy, combined with the unique relationship that allows one of the world’s largest commercial real estate firms to provide first-rate local service, results in the best choice for comprehensive real estate services in the market. For virtually any type of real estate investor.

    The Corporate Services group of Pennsylvania Commercial is comprised of a professional team of individuals who understand client needs and maintain a focus on the client’s goals. A group working every day in an environment conducive to making those goals a reality.

    Financing

    The financial services group of Pennsylvania Commercial Real Estate, Inc. is retained by clients to maximize their real estate investment profit potential throughout the asset’s life cycle, from original development to disposition or re-development.

    Our financial services group provides clients with a wide range of products and services including:


  • acquisition or disposition of real estate assets including land, single purpose buildings and income producing real property.

  • structure, negotiate and place mortgage financing

  • negotiate joint ventures

  • structure participating mortgages

  • analyze, sell/hold scenarios

  • property repositioning analysis.

  • We are involved in negotiation of all our legal contracts, operating as the gatekeeper in order to provide an overall view of a transaction. We are able to merge the business and legal requirements of a transaction during the negotiation and documentation process.

    Pennsylvania Commercial has assisted in the documentation, review and negotiation of public loan commitment letters and loan documents in addition to parking license agreements, lease agreements, sublease agreements, purchase agreements and disposition agreements. We have recommended and worked with various attorneys in small and large law firms within Pennsylvania and in other states.

    What sets us apart is our individualized selection process—we select attorneys based on their particular expertise. In other words, an attorney that specializes in zoning may not have the skill set that we would prefer in negotiating a major commercial lease transaction.

    Pennsylvania Commercial has vast experience in procuring funding for our clients from such sources as the Allegheny County EDL, Pennsylvania Infrastructure Development Program Loans and Grants, PIDA, SBA and purchase money mortgages from public agencies for land acquisition.

    From small apartment complex owners, to real estate investment trusts, Pennsylvania Commercial has been, and will continue to be involved in some of the most complex investment transactions in Western Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Commercial’s experienced professionals can help you determine what investments make sense for your organization.

    We are also able to offer joint venture opportunities for would-be investors who may not have the experience or capital to invest on their own.

    Tenant Representation

    As a Tenant/Buyer representative, Pennsylvania Commercial Real Estate, Inc. is committed to establishing and maintaining a professional approach to office and industrial leasing—an approach that is keenly developed around the client’s best interests.

    The successful representation of tenants and buyers requires a great deal more than simply knowing the real estate market. At Pennsylvania Commercial, we make every effort to thoroughly understand our client’s requirements and their objectives – before real estate negotiations begin, not while they are in progress. Only then can we consider all of the alternatives available and offer the most meaningful service.

    Upon achieving a thorough understanding of a client’s requirement, our Tenant Representation services establish a blueprint of the requirement through the architectural programming process. Specific needs and requirements of the client are reduced to a Request For Proposed (“RFP”). Responses to the RFP are analyzed based on the client’s specific criteria. After proposals are received and analyzed through financial modeling, negotiations commence leading toward the execution of a lease and occupancy of the preferred location.

    The Buyer Representation process involves a comprehensive site search and evaluation of all alternative sites or buildings meeting the client’s criteria. A thorough analysis, negotiation and selection process provides our clients with total market knowledge so an informed decision can be made.
