Sell your warehouse to a local buyer who keeps it

A direct, discreet sale to a long-term owner — no public listing, no MLS, no signage, and no commission deducted from your proceeds when you come direct.

If you own a warehouse, flex space, or small-bay industrial building in the New Orleans metro and you’re weighing a sale, you have a choice most owners don’t think about: you can list it publicly and wait, or you can sell it directly to a buyer who already wants it.

What a direct sale changes

A brokered listing typically runs four to nine months. It puts your building on the MLS, brings buyer tours through your space, and exposes you to financing-contingent buyers who can walk during due diligence or re-trade the price at the last minute.

A direct sale removes all of that. There’s no marketing period, no public exposure, and no contingency on a partner’s wire — we buy with conventional bank financing, committed at LOI on clean files. We’re candid about the trade-off: we’re not always the highest offer on a building. We are the most certain, and we close on the timeline we commit to.

When we buy, we hold. Your tenants stay, the building keeps its purpose, and you’re done — cleanly, on a 30–45 day timeline.

If your building is a multi-tenant flex or office-warehouse property, there’s a page written for selling flex or office-warehouse space specifically — though the process is the same either way.

12 years in real estate

Over 100 transactions closed across the Gulf South — most of them direct from owners, off-market.

Local, in Mandeville

We’re based here. Not an out-of-state operator running a mailer — the buyer you reach is the owner you close with.

Long-term owner

We buy small-bay industrial to hold, not to flip or wholesale. Your building gets the next owner, not a middleman.

The process

How selling your warehouse works

  3. Site visit

    If the deal pencils, we come to the building within a week.

    A specific number, with terms and timeline in writing.

  5. Close

    Standard Louisiana commercial PSA, 30-day due diligence, 30–45 days total on clean files.

Frequently asked questions


How long does it take to close on a commercial sale?

Thirty to forty-five days on clean files, sometimes faster. The schedule on a typical warehouse sale: a 15-minute discovery call within a business day, written underwriting in 3–5 days, a site visit within a week if it pencils, a written LOI in 10–14 days, then a standard 30-day due diligence period to close. A brokered listing usually runs 4–9 months from list to close; a direct sale removes the marketing period, the financing-contingent buyer pool, and most of the re-trading.

Can I sell my warehouse as-is?

Yes. We buy AS-IS. Roof, HVAC, foundation, deferred maintenance, vacant suites — none of that needs to be addressed before we agree on a number. The offer reflects the condition. You do not have to clean it out, paint it, or replace anything before closing.

Do I need a broker to sell my warehouse?

No. You can sell directly to a buyer. If you come direct, there is no commission deducted from your proceeds. If you already have a broker representing you, we pay the standard commission per their agreement with you. Either way, the commission does not come out of your pocket.

Are you going to relist my building?

No. We are a long-term hold owner. We buy small-bay industrial to keep, not to flip or wholesale. When we close on your building, we are the next owner — not the middleman. Your tenants and the relationships you have built with them stay in place.

Why sell to a direct buyer instead of listing with a broker?

Three reasons. Speed and certainty: a direct sale runs 30–45 days, while a broker listing typically runs 4–9 months and exposes you to buyers who walk during due diligence. Discretion: no public listing, no MLS, no signage, no buyer tours — the conversation stays between us. And commission: a direct sale means no listing-agent commission deducted from your proceeds. We are not the highest offer on every building. We are the most certain.

What size warehouses do you buy?

Five thousand to twenty-five thousand square feet. Multi-tenant office-warehouse and small-bay flex are the sweet spot, typically 8,000 SF and up. Single-tenant industrial buildings 5,000 SF and up are also a fit when pricing reflects the single-tenant risk. Roll-up doors are required; dock-high is not.

What's the contract process?

A standard Louisiana commercial purchase and sale agreement. Earnest money is deposited into escrow on contract execution, with the amount agreed at LOI. A thirty-day due diligence period covers standard inspection, environmental, and title review. Conventional financing is committed at LOI, not contingent, on clean files. A sample contract is available on request.
