Commercial real estate (CRE) agents and business brokers both close complex deals, but they sell different assets. CRE agents market and negotiate property, land, buildings, income, and real estate using public exposure, comps and cap rates, and diligence focused on the physical asset (title, zoning, surveys, leases, environmental). Business brokers sell going concerns with cash flow and goodwill, whether or not real estate is included. Their playbook centers on confidentiality, screened buyers, NDAs, staged disclosures, and secure data rooms. This also includes earnings-based valuation (SDE/EBITDA, risk, industry multiples), creative financing (SBA, seller notes, earn-outs), and coordinated due diligence across operations, contracts, and financials. Choose a business broker to sell an operating company; choose a CRE agent to sell or lease only the real property; use both when you’re transferring the business and the building.
