Commercial-First Approach

How Apex represents commercial buyers and sellers.

Four reasons commercial groups across the region choose Apex over the national franchises — and the local-only firms that won't return calls.

No. 01

Real income analysis.

Cap rate, NOI, expense ratio, and rent comps from real lease data — not Loopnet aspirational pricing.

No. 02

Zoning intelligence.

We know which Jacksonville parcels carry C-2 vs B-1 overlays and which Springfield districts are mid-rezoning. Saves you the surprise.

No. 03

Tenant context.

Existing tenant mix, lease terms, and operating history disclosed up front — not buried in due-diligence requests.

No. 04

No franchise filter.

Local broker, licensed by Illinois, answering your call directly. No referral fee skim, no out-of-state placement system.

Concierge Index

Four stages, start to close.

What you'll do at each stage, what we'll do, and where the deal stands when it's finished.

01

Property identification.

Tell us what you're looking for — use class, size range, market, ideal income. We pull active and pocket listings that fit.

Stage 1
02

Diligence package.

Rent rolls, lease abstracts, P&Ls, environmental Phase I status, and recent comparable transactions delivered before LOI.

Stage 2
03

Negotiation & LOI.

Strategic offer construction with the seller-side broker. We push back on contingency timelines and inspection windows that favor your position.

Stage 3
04

Diligence-to-close.

Lender liaison, title work, environmental, survey, lease estoppels coordinated through close. You get a status email every Friday.

Stage 4

Frequently asked

What buyers ask, answered.

The questions that come up most often before someone makes their first call — in plain English.

Do you represent buyers as well as sellers?+

Yes — we work both sides and will disclose any dual-agency conflict in writing the moment it surfaces. Most of our commercial work is single-side representation either way.

Can Apex run cap-rate and NOI analysis on properties I find elsewhere?+

Yes. If you spot a property on Loopnet, CREXi, or via a network introduction, we'll run the income analysis, pull rent comps, and give you our read before you submit an LOI.

Do you do 1031 exchanges?+

Yes. We've coordinated 1031s for multi-family, retail, and industrial properties — including reverse exchanges. We don't act as your QI, but we work closely with Central Illinois QIs and can recommend two.

How long do commercial deals typically take to close?+

30-75 days for stabilized assets with conventional financing. Longer for SBA, value-add with environmental review, or owner-occupied with build-out contingencies. We give you a realistic timeline at offer.

What's your commission structure?+

Standard for the market — disclosed on a per-deal basis depending on size, complexity, and time on market. Lower than the franchise national-network rate, structured around fairness, not formula.

Can you handle off-market and pocket listings?+

Yes — a significant share of our commercial activity is pocket-listed or relationship-sourced. If you have specific search criteria, we'll work the network.
