When people hear “real estate,” they often think of cozy houses with white picket fences. But what about the skyscrapers, bustling shopping centers, and those quirky strip malls with one too many vape shops? That’s commercial real estate—the other side of the coin in the property world. And yes, it’s a whole different ballgame from residential real estate.
So, what is commercial real estate? In short, it refers to properties used for business purposes. Think office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-family complexes (yes, those apartment buildings count too). Essentially, if it generates income and isn’t someone’s primary residence, it falls under the commercial umbrella.
Here’s where it gets fun: commercial real estate isn’t just about buying and selling—it’s about strategy. Unlike residential properties, where you’re selling someone their future nest, commercial real estate is all about ROI (return on investment). Businesses are looking for locations that maximize foot traffic, storage space, or operational efficiency. For example, Indiana has seen significant growth in warehousing and logistics facilities due to its central location and strong transportation infrastructure. Did you know Indiana is home to the "Crossroads of America," with 14 major highways intersecting the state? This makes it a hotspot for commercial investments.

Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or lease commercial property, I bring expertise, humor (to ease the stress), and a commitment to finding solutions that fit your business goals.
