I need advice on selling an office building
Hi, my Dad just retired as a doctor and he's having a tough time selling his old office building. He's had a real estate agent working on it for the past 2 years, who seems like a nice guy and all. And despite the fact that I have an MBA in finance, I have no idea if the agent is doing a good job or not.

The building is in West Chester PA, and it's a double unit in an office park where single units have been selling for $170K.
Any advice on what to do, or books/sites to read would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, Ben
[{"id": "c5kq2ud", "text": "We are probably talking about an office condo here. The problem with these types of properties is that they are usually not good income producing properties in the current environment with office rents being so low. The primary market is for small businesses and professionals. Think doctor, accountant, or something similar. The problem is that demand is really low for the product as few of those professionals are looking to expand, and is much more cost effective to rent.\n\nHow can you see if the agent is doing a good job?  Other than listing the property in costar.com and loopnet.com, there isn't much an agent can do. I would want the listing to have as many pictures as possible and I have seen the agents prepare brochures with additional information and attach them to the listings.\n", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
