“2022 has been all about interest rates, and the negative impact they’ve had on values,” said Peter Rothemund, Co-Head of Strategic Research at Green Street. “The good news is that commercial property valuations have improved quite a bit over the past several weeks as bond yields have retreated. While pricing may continue to go down, the large moves should be behind us.”

Pasco County
West Pasco Industrial Park, Odessa
Two years ago, the CRE Boss Ladies represented the Buyer, who purchased 2510 Merchant Avenue in Odessa, FL. We thought the property hit the market approximately $325,000 below true market value. The Seller was represented by an Agent who was not familiar with the local market or industrial property values. We strategically submitted our offer on Friday night with a response deadline of Saturday and we secured an incredible deal at $950,000.
Fast forward almost 2 years later, the same Customer, now the Owner of the building, called to discuss leasing some of his space. We counseled him on market values, lease vs. purchase, and guided him on how to maximize his profits. He came to the conclusion he should sell instead of lease. Within a couple of days, we contracted his property and it closed 45 days later with $1,900,000 cash. Now that’s called Double or Nothing!!
South Pinellas County
68,000± SF Building, Pinellas Park
The CRE Boss Ladies were hired by Douglas Machine, an innovator of commercial and industrial washers for containers used in bakery, meat, poultry, food processing, packaging, and distribution industries, to relocate their manufacturing company near Clearwater. We were able to find them their new Manufacturing Headquarters at 4500 110 Avenue North, Pinellas Park, FL 33762. The property was a 68,000± SF building located on a 5.99-acre site with 800 AMP and 3-phase power. This property checked all the boxes for the Buyer to include 5-grade level doors and 5 truck wells with levers. Although we had to navigate some repair and fire code issues, we closed the deal and the Buyer was thrilled to have made it across the finish line.
Testimonials
“In my professional life, I am a successful McDonanlds franchisee, owning and operating 11 restaurants in Pasco and Hillsborough County. I understood the importance of building a Team to assist me with expanding my business footprint and search for a new corporate home office. I selected the CRE Boss Ladies to represent my corporate real estate needs. I selected this team based on their solid reputation, expertise, and outstanding professionalism. We successfully closed on my 20,900± SF corporate office in 2018 located in the West Pasco Industrial Park.”
“Look no further for an incredible team! Our business was expanding and we quickly realized we needed more warehouse space to operate efficiently. We put our trust in the CRE Boss Ladies to find a new building to purchase and the Ladies made it happen for us! The market was extremely tight with no properties available. Thanks to their consistent hard work and perseverance, the CRE Boss Ladies called us within a week with an OFF-Market building. This resulted in us being the first to tour the warehouse and able to make an offer the same day!”
