Question 1

What types of commercial properties does Capstone Commercial handle?

Accepted Answer

Capstone Commercial specializes in four core property types across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex: Industrial (warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, flex), Office (Class A, B, and C; CBD and suburban), Retail (shopping centers, strip centers, pad sites, freestanding), and Land (residential and commercial development sites). Our typical deal size ranges from $1M to $5M, with select transactions in the $15M-$20M range.

Question 2

How much does it cost to hire a commercial real estate broker?

Accepted Answer

For tenants and buyers, our brokerage services are typically provided at no direct cost — the landlord or seller pays the commission as part of the transaction. For landlords and property owners, commission rates vary by property type and transaction size but are negotiated upfront and clearly outlined in the listing agreement.

Question 4

How long does it take to lease commercial space in DFW?

Accepted Answer

Lease timelines vary by property type and market conditions. Industrial space in high-demand corridors can lease within 30-60 days. Office and retail spaces typically take 3-6 months depending on location, condition, and pricing.

Question 5

What is a Broker Opinion of Value (BOV)?

Accepted Answer

A Broker Opinion of Value is a professional estimate of a property's market value prepared by a licensed commercial real estate broker. Unlike a formal appraisal, a BOV leverages the broker's direct market knowledge, comparable sales data, and income analysis to provide property owners with a realistic assessment of what their property would sell for in the current market.

Question 6

What is a CCIM and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

CCIM stands for Certified Commercial Investment Member, one of the most respected designations in commercial real estate. Only about 6% of commercial real estate practitioners hold the CCIM designation. When you work with a CCIM like Steve Burris, you're working with a broker who has demonstrated expertise in investment-grade commercial real estate transactions.

Question 7

Should I lease or buy commercial space for my business?

Accepted Answer

The lease vs. buy decision depends on several factors including your business's growth trajectory, capital availability, tax situation, and how long you plan to stay in the space. Leasing offers flexibility and lower upfront costs, while buying builds equity and provides more control. Capstone's brokers can walk you through the financial analysis for your specific situation.
