Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered.

Common questions from investors, business owners, and developers exploring commercial real estate in the Southeast.

Do you charge for an initial consultation?

No. Initial consultations, market reports, and portfolio & cash-flow analyses are complimentary with no obligation. CREEA earns a commission only when a transaction closes — the standard CRE brokerage model.

What markets do you cover?

8 Southeast markets: Columbia (HQ) & Charleston SC, Charlotte & Raleigh NC, Atlanta, Savannah & Augusta GA, plus Greenville/Spartanburg SC. We also handle select opportunities in Florida.

Can you find off-market deals for me?

Yes — most of our best transactions never hit a public listing. Tell us your asset type, market, budget, and hold period, and we'll surface qualified pocket listings and pre-market opportunities from our broker network.

How long does a typical commercial transaction take?

Acquisitions and dispositions typically run 60–120 days from LOI to closing depending on financing, due diligence, and complexity. Lease transactions usually close in 30–60 days. We give you a realistic timeline upfront.

Do you work with first-time CRE investors?

Absolutely. Many of our long-term clients started with their first commercial deal at CREEA. We walk you through underwriting, financing options, due diligence, and ownership transition — no question is too basic.

What asset types does CREEA specialize in?

Retail (shopping centers, strip centers, outparcels), industrial (warehouse, flex, distribution), special-purpose (childcare, medical), office, multifamily & SFR portfolios, and land/development sites.

What's included in a free market report?

Tailored by your asset type and target market — current cap rates, vacancy rates, pricing trends, recent comparable sales, and supply/demand signals. Plus a free portfolio & cash-flow analysis if relevant. Typically delivered within 48 hours.

Can you represent both buyer and seller?

South Carolina permits dual agency with full written disclosure and consent from both parties. In most cases we recommend single-agency representation to ensure fully aligned advocacy. We'll always be transparent about which side we represent.
