A commercial real estate broker helps clients buy, sell, or lease properties used for business purposes. At Stricker CRE, we represent both landlords and tenants, offering guidance on pricing, negotiations, market trends, and investment strategies.

Commercial real estate includes office buildings, retail centers, industrial warehouses, land development opportunities, and multi-family properties. In the Tri-Cities, we frequently handle office, retail, industrial, and investment listings.

Unlike residential real estate, which involves homes and apartments for personal use, commercial real estate is focused on properties that generate income or support business activity. Transactions often involve longer lease terms, higher square footage, and investment-based decision making.

The capitalization (CAP) rate is a metric used to evaluate the return on investment for a property. It’s calculated by dividing the property’s net operating income (NOI) by its purchase price. A higher CAP rate may indicate higher risk and reward, while a lower CAP rate suggests stability.

A triple net lease (NNN) means the tenant pays rent plus property expenses such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance. This structure often benefits landlords by providing predictable income while tenants gain transparency in operating costs.

Commercial leases typically range from 3 to 10 years, depending on the property type and tenant requirements. Some retail or industrial tenants may sign longer terms, while office leases may be shorter or include renewal options.

The Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Richland, Pasco) is one of Washington’s fastest-growing regions. With a diverse economy, strong population growth, and central location between Seattle, Portland, Spokane, and Boise, it offers attractive opportunities for stable cash flow and long-term appreciation.

A good investment depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and financial strategy. Key factors include tenant stability, lease terms, location, market demand, and projected return. Our team at Stricker CRE provides detailed analysis and market insights to help guide your decision.

Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fees are tenant contributions toward maintaining shared areas of a property, such as parking lots, landscaping, and lighting. These fees vary by property and are typically outlined in the lease agreement.

We represent both sales and leasing opportunities. Whether you’re an investor looking to acquire income-producing property or a tenant seeking the right location for your business, Stricker CRE can help.
