Connecting with commercial real estate owners is often the first step toward identifying new opportunities, building partnerships, or sourcing off-market deals. Whether you’re a broker, investor, or service provider, knowing how to find out who owns a property can give you a competitive edge.
In this post, we’ll break down practical strategies for identifying commercial building owners, reaching them directly, and using Biscred commercial real estate software to streamline the process.
Why Contacting Owners Matters
In today’s market, many valuable properties never hit the open listings. While some opportunities show up as “for sale by owner” commercial property listings, many deals are discovered through proactive outreach. Direct contact with decision-makers allows you to:
Explore off-market properties.
Build relationships with influential stakeholders.
Position yourself ahead of competitors.
Methods for identifying commercial property owners
Public records searches
Local county assessor or recorder websites often provide ownership records. This is one way to verify a commercial real estate developer or LLC associated with a property. However, these searches can be time-consuming.
Networking with industry contacts
Commercial brokers, appraisers, and even contractors can point you toward ownership details.
Specialized CRE software
Instead of manually pulling data, or buying unreliable lists, Biscred commercial real estate software allow you to instantly access verified contact information for commercial real estate owners and companies.
How Biscred makes It easier
Biscred centralizes property ownership and decision-maker data into a simple dashboard, allowing you to filter by:
Location, property type, or company.
Contact roles (e.g., owner, commercial real estate company, or developer).
Market activity and deal volume.
This saves hours of research compared to traditional methods.
Tips for effective outreach
Once you have accurate contact information, the key is thoughtful engagement:
Personalize your outreach by referencing their property or company.
Provide value up front (market insights, financing options, etc.).
Track conversations to build long-term relationships.
Drive deals forward.
