Everytime I try to search retail stores for lease I get nothing but listings of commercial property for sale?

A retail store is a business located in a commercial property. If you want to lease a currently operating retail store, then search: business opportunities for lease: retail store.





You can search for ';retail space for lease'; rather than ';retail store for lease';. If you want to lease a commercial building suitable for your store, you usually search commercial buildings by the square footage you need. Sometimes, these are listed as dollars per sqft ($12/sqft, or $5/sqft, for example). You want property zoned for retail, and eliminate the buildings not suitable for retail (like office space, medical office space, etc.)





You want to be searching a commercial real estate database, not necessarily the multiple listing system used by area Realtors. Most Realtors do not have much experience in commercial property, and most commercial properties available are not in the multiple listing system.





It is a good idea to go to a commercial real estate broker and hire them as your agent. Most retail stores available for lease are not listed anywhere. If they are vacant, there may only be a sign on the building, or out front in the parking lot. If they are operating, they may not be advertised at all. Even the employees working at the store may not be aware that the owner is willing to lease it. Only an experienced commercial agent will be able to locate the property, and negotiate your lease.Everytime I try to search retail stores for lease I get nothing but listings of commercial property for sale?

where are you searching? and if you are looking to lease, why not just call and Agent in a commercial company and let them show you what your looking for, they have more access to whats going on out there, its worth the call.





But if you want give the ones you find for sale a call they might rent to you because having a tenant in the buiding might help them get it sold.
