Commercial Real Estate
in Santa Rosa and Sonoma, CA
Finding the Perfect Space for Your Business
Finding a home for your business can be just as exhilarating as finding a residential property. However, certain aspects of commercial real estate sales, such as zoning and triple net leases, can make locating a commercial real estate property feel overwhelming. Having gone through this process as a former restaurant owner and commercial real estate agent, I use my expertise to help you buy and sell commercial real estate in Santa Rosa and throughout Sonoma County. I know what it takes to open a business in Sonoma — I’ve done it over five times!

Is Sonoma County the Right Place for my Business?
The quick answer is a resounding YES!
After four decades of owning property and operating small businesses in this area, I have seen the vine of tiny, rural towns that link Sonoma County together blossom into a well-known tourist destination. I have spent many years frequenting the county’s downtown areas, taking long drives through wine country, and touring the area’s greatest venues. Sonoma is flourishing! It’s an excellent time to become part of this community.

Considerations When Purchasing Commercial Real Estate
Zoning
You found the perfect property, but what happens if it isn’t properly zoned for your intended business? I will help you navigate local zoning ordinances to ensure you find a property in a great location and appropriately zoned.
ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the 1990s and requires businesses to make their properties accessible to those with disabilities, including bathrooms, entrances, and service counters. If you are constructing a new commercial property or renovating an existing one, you’ll need to ensure your building complies with ADA guidelines. As your Santa Rosa commercial real estate agent, I will connect you with local service providers who will help your establishment get up to code.
Property Inspections
Every city is required to regulate commercial construction. Each town has guidelines for building inspections during construction or when the business changes ownership. These inspections help identify the building’s integrity and safety for staff and customers. As a former carpenter, interior designer, and commercial property renovator, I can help interpret these inspections to identify key issues that may need attention before the sale is complete.
Commercial Leases in Sonoma County
I can assist with a variety of commercial leases, from gross to triple net.
Leasing property is complex. However, I leverage 12 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry to help demystify terms like common area maintenance (CAM) charges, lease duration, and non-waiver provisions. We will discuss their impacts on your business to determine whether the property is a good fit.
