Sell your commercial building without listing it.
We buy office, flex, industrial, retail and multifamily buildings in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul suburbs directly from owners. As-is, discreetly, with no listing fee and no financing contingency. Cash, terms, or a 721 contribution. A written offer within three business days.
A fair deal, done quietly.
We buy as-is
Deferred maintenance, vacancy, a bad roof, a tenant who has not paid since March. We have our own construction crews and leasing brokers; problems are what we buy.
No listing fee, no contingency
No broker commission on your side of the table. No financing contingency. We buy with community-bank relationships we have used for twenty years and fund equity that is already raised.
Price or terms, your choice
All cash, an installment sale, a contract for deed, seller financing at a rate that beats your bank, a partial sale, a master lease, or a tax-deferred 721 contribution. We structure options and you pick.
We are discreet
No sign in the yard, no listing on LoopNet, no tenants finding out from a broker. Most of the buildings we own were never on the market.
We close
Our affiliated title company, Velora Title, handles closing. Twenty-one years in one market means lenders, attorneys and appraisers who pick up the phone.
We are still here afterward
We keep the buildings we buy. Your tenants get a landlord with a maintenance team, not a flipper. Ask any of the owners who sold us 30 buildings.
Five steps from first call to closing.
A short call to confirm the building fits, walk through the process and hear your price expectations.
We tour the property, review leases, rent roll and financials, and talk with you about what you actually need from the sale.
We present written options: cash, terms, partial sale, 721. Your advisors are welcome in every conversation.
Underwriting, legal review, lender and investor confirmation. No surprises at the closing table.
We close, onboard the property to our management team and start the plan. You move on.
If any of these sound familiar, call.
- Tired of managing tenants or a property manager who is not managing
- Vacancy you do not have the capital or the crews to fill
- Deferred maintenance the lender is starting to ask about
- A partnership that wants different things
- Inherited property in an estate that needs to be settled
- A loan maturity, foreclosure or tax problem
- Divorce, retirement, relocation or a business that closed
- A large gain you do not want to pay tax on yet

Selling a commercial building in Minneapolis.
How do I sell a commercial building in Minneapolis without listing it?
Send the address and a rent roll to a principal buyer who buys for its own account. Commercial Investors Group underwrites the building, walks it once, and gives you a written offer. There is no listing agreement, no marketing period, no broker commission on your side, and no financing contingency. Most of our purchases are off-market.
What kinds of buildings does Commercial Investors Group buy?
Multi-tenant office, flex, office-warehouse, industrial, neighborhood retail and small multi-family in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro, generally 10,000 to 200,000 square feet and $1 million to $15 million in value. Vacancy, deferred maintenance, short leases, partnership problems and estate situations are what we look for, not reasons to pass.
What are my options besides an all-cash sale?
Three. A cash sale at one price. A higher price on a contract for deed or with seller financing, which spreads your tax over the payments and earns interest on the balance. Or a 721 contribution to AlphaDiv Real Estate Fund, which defers the tax entirely and pays you quarterly income from a 30-building portfolio. Every written offer we send includes all three.
How long does it take to close?
Thirty to sixty days is typical. We buy with community-bank relationships we have used for twenty years and equity that is already raised, so there is no financing contingency. If you are in a 1031 exchange and need a certain close date, we set the closing around your deadline.
Do you keep the building or flip it?
We keep it. Our own construction, leasing and property management teams take over on day one. Your tenants get a landlord with a maintenance fleet, not a wholesaler assigning the contract.
Will you sign a confidentiality agreement?
Yes. Owners often do not want tenants, employees or competitors to know a building is for sale. We sign an NDA before we see financials and we do not market the deal to anyone.
Get a written offer in three business days.
Send the address and a rent roll if you have one. We will tell you what we can pay, on what terms, and whether a 721 contribution would put more money in your pocket.
