Frequently Asked Questions — Selling Commercial Real Estate in Atlanta
What types of commercial real estate does Jimmy Carey sell? Jimmy Carey Commercial Real Estate specializes in restaurant and food & beverage commercial properties — including freestanding restaurant buildings, restaurant-occupied retail spaces, and food & beverage investment properties.
This focus means every buyer in our network is specifically looking for the type of property you own.
How is commercial real estate valued differently from residential? Commercial real estate is valued based on income potential, cap rate, and the physical asset itself — not comparable home sales. For restaurant properties, factors like hood and ventilation infrastructure, grease trap capacity, hood suppression systems, ADA compliance, and existing permits all affect value significantly. A restaurant-specialized broker understands these factors in ways a general commercial broker typically does not.
What is a cap rate and why does it matter when selling? A capitalization rate (cap rate) is the ratio of a property's net operating income to its purchase price. It is the primary metric commercial real estate investors use to evaluate value and risk. A lower cap rate means higher value relative to income — typically seen in prime locations with strong tenants. Understanding your property's cap rate is essential to pricing it correctly for the current Atlanta market.
How long does it take to sell a commercial property in Atlanta? Commercial real estate transactions in Atlanta typically take longer than residential sales — anywhere from 6 to 18 months depending on property type, pricing, financing requirements, and buyer due diligence. Restaurant properties with strong infrastructure and favorable lease terms tend to move faster.
Do I need to have a tenant in place to sell my commercial property? Not necessarily. Vacant properties are typically valued using the cost approach — based on replacement cost of the improvements — or the income approach, projecting market-rate income at stabilized occupancy. A property with a qualified tenant and a well-structured lease in place will command higher value as an income-producing investment. Jimmy Carey can advise on the best strategy for your specific situation.
What is the difference between selling a restaurant building and selling a restaurant business? Selling a restaurant building is a real estate transaction — you are transferring ownership of the physical property. Selling a restaurant business is a business brokerage transaction — you are transferring the operating entity, its equipment, its lease, and its goodwill. Jimmy Carey handles both types of transactions and can help you determine which approach is right for your property and goals.
