Commercial Brokerage
Experience, perspective, connections, expertise
For nearly four decades, PDF has served owners, tenants, buyers, and sellers across every property type and deal structure. We bring uncommon perspective, leverage a dedicated network of over 88,000 agents nationwide to complete even the most complex transactions, and guide you through the process regardless of the size, type, or location of your commercial real estate need.
Brokerage with a developer’s perspective
PDF traces its roots to commercial real estate development, and that developer's perspective sets our brokerage apart. We bring real command of land use and zoning, architecture and engineering, permitting and entitlements, and financing, enabling solutions other brokers simply cannot provide across buying, selling, leasing, and complex 1031 exchanges.
One team across the whole transaction
Whether you are buying, selling, leasing, or holding, the sequence is similar. The expertise applied at each step is what changes.
Establish the objective
Income, growth, consolidation, exit, or relocation. Everything downstream depends on being honest about what the transaction is actually meant to accomplish.
Analyze the market
Comparable sales and leases, current inventory, absorption, and where pricing is trending in your specific submarket and asset class.
Prepare and position
On the sell or lease side, that means pricing strategy, materials, and targeted exposure. On the buy or tenant side, it means building the option set and the leverage that comes with it.
Negotiate and close
Terms, contingencies, due diligence, and escrow or lease execution, managed through the details that decide whether a deal closes on time or falls apart late.
What we bring to a commercial transaction
Commercial deals turn on preparation and information. These are the areas where that shows up.
Market intelligence
Current comparables, active inventory, and the off-market conversations that never show up in a database.
Valuation and pricing
Defensible pricing built from income, comparables, and replacement cost rather than from optimism or a round number.
Marketing and exposure
Professional materials and targeted distribution to the buyers, tenants, and brokers who actually transact in your asset class.
Negotiation
Terms, contingencies, credits, and timelines handled by someone who does this daily and knows what is standard and what is worth fighting for.
Due diligence management
Inspections, title, survey, environmental, and financials tracked so nothing surfaces at the eleventh hour.
Closing coordination
Escrow, lender, title, and legal kept aligned so the transaction closes on the date everyone agreed to.
Questions we get across asset types
What types of commercial property do you handle?
Retail, industrial, office, medical, multi-family, land, development sites, and operating businesses, on both the buy and sell side and for leasing on either side of the table.
How is commercial different from residential real estate?
Commercial transactions are driven by income and use rather than by emotion, the due diligence is deeper, the documents are longer and more negotiable, and timelines run longer. The analysis matters more than the presentation.
What does representation cost?
Every engagement is different, so compensation is discussed openly and agreed in writing before any work begins. There are no surprise fees and nothing is owed based on a conversation. We will explain exactly how it would work for your situation, in plain terms, before you commit to anything.
Do you only work in the Sacramento region?
Greater Sacramento is our home market and where our relationships run deepest. Through our eXp affiliation we can also support clients well beyond the region, bringing in local expertise wherever your plans take you.
Whatever your commercial need, we can help.
One team across every asset class, from the first call to closing.
