Commercial Real Estate Sales Attorney

Helping Business Owners & Investors Navigate Complex Property Transactions Across Northern Illinois

Selling or purchasing commercial real estate involves more than just a signed agreement. It requires due diligence, strategic structuring, and attention to every legal detail. At The Real Estate Law Firm in St. Charles, we represent buyers, sellers, and investors in commercial property transactions throughout Kane, Will, DuPage, Lake, and McHenry Counties.

Our experienced legal team works closely with business owners, landlords, developers, and investors to minimize risk, protect your interests, and close your transaction smoothly—whether you’re selling a single-use building or a multi-unit investment property.

Legal Guidance for Commercial Property Transactions

Commercial sales differ from residential deals in both complexity and risk. Our attorneys provide hands-on support at every stage of the process, including:

Contract Review & Negotiation

We review and draft purchase agreements, lease transfers, and assignment clauses to ensure favorable terms. We’ll also advise you on negotiating key contingencies, disclosures, and risk allocation—so you’re not exposed after closing.

Due Diligence & Risk Assessment

Buyers don’t get the same protections in commercial transactions as in residential deals. We guide clients through document reviews, title examinations, lien checks, and inspection processes to uncover any hidden issues before you commit.

Entity Structuring & Tax Planning

Selling or acquiring real estate through an LLC or trust? We help you set up or evaluate the right ownership structure, including asset protection, liability shielding, and estate planning integration—especially for long-term investors.

Lease Transfers & Tenant Rights

When commercial buildings include active tenants, we help ensure proper lease assignments or renewals are handled as part of the sale. We evaluate lease terms and advise on tenant rights, security deposits, and post-sale responsibilities.

Zoning, Use, and Compliance

We verify that your intended use of the property aligns with current zoning laws and local ordinances. Our team will flag any potential red tape, including environmental, ADA, or land use regulations that may impact your project.

We Also Advise on:
  • 1031 Exchanges
  • Asset purchase vs. entity purchase strategies
  • Financing and lender requirements
  • Tax and estate planning for commercial real estate portfolios
