Sell your Los Angeles commercial property.
We are a principal buyer of commercial real estate, purchased for our own portfolio and held for the long term. A discreet, direct acquisition without a public marketing process.
What would we pay for your building?
Send the address. You get a written offer, usually inside a business day, with no obligation attached.
Seller Testimonials
“Jeff was always available, day or night, to discuss any issue. Two weeks before closing we needed an emergency repair and he found the contractor and arranged it himself.”
“They agreed to pay nearly my full asking price and were easy to work with. The whole process was a lot easier than other buildings we sold at the same time.”
“We were considering selling our West Adams four-unit and they gave us a solid offer. If you are considering selling, I would definitely recommend getting their offer.”
One building, one buyer, no audience.
A well-run listing is the right answer for many owners. But a listing puts your building, your rent roll and your reasons for selling in front of every broker and competitor in the market. If you would rather not do that, or you simply want a firm number to measure a listing against, selling direct to The Beverly Group is faster, quieter and a great deal less work.

As-is condition
Deferred maintenance, a roof at the end of its life, unpermitted work. We price it into the offer instead of reopening the number after inspections.
Leases in place
We buy occupied buildings and take the leases as written. Nothing to renegotiate, and nobody to move out before closing.
No listing costs
No marketing period, no offering memorandum, no tours for buyers who were never going to close. Nothing to carry while the market makes up its mind.
Your timeline
Close in three weeks or six months, whichever suits you. Rent-back and 1031 identification windows accommodated.
Four ways this is not an apartment sale.
We buy multifamily too, and the two processes share almost nothing. If you have sold an apartment building before, most of what you learned does not transfer.
Commercial rent is a contract, not an ordinance.
This is the structural difference between your building and an apartment building, and it changes everything about how a number gets built. The Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance governs residential rental units. Commercial tenancies are governed by the lease you signed. There is no registered rent ceiling, no annual allowable increase, no Costa-Hawkins vacancy question. What there is instead: lease term, escalations, options, who carries taxes, insurance and maintenance, and whether the tenant can actually pay through the end of the term. We underwrite the leases as written, which is why a rent roll is never enough on its own — we ask for the documents.

Measure ULA is not a mansion tax.
The single most expensive misconception among Los Angeles commercial sellers. Measure ULA applies to all property types — commercial, industrial, retail, office, land — not just homes. For closings after 30 June 2026 the rate is 4% above $5,400,000 and 5.5% at $10,900,000 and up, and the City calculates it on gross value, including the value of any lien or encumbrance remaining at the time of sale. A buyer assuming your loan raises the taxable base even though no cash moves for it. And once a threshold is crossed the rate applies to the whole consideration rather than the excess, which turns the threshold into a cliff rather than a bracket. On a building anywhere near $5.4M this belongs in the first conversation.

Concrete buildings carry a retrofit clock.
Los Angeles has a mandatory retrofit ordinance aimed squarely at commercial stock, and most owners think only of soft-story wood-frame. Ordinance 183893, adopted 13 October 2015, covers reinforced concrete buildings whose construction permit was applied for before 13 January 1977, excluding detached single-family homes and detached duplexes. The City identified roughly 1,500 buildings in scope, with up to twenty-five years from the order to comply to finish the work. An outstanding order and its deadline travel with the building, so it is a diligence item and a price item, not a footnote.

There is no statutory disclosure form on your side.
California’s Transfer Disclosure Statement regime applies to residential property of one to four dwelling units. Sell a commercial building and no equivalent form exists, which sounds like less work and is usually more: with no statutory script, everything migrates into representations, warranties and the buyer’s diligence, and that is where deals slow down or die. Commercial leases carry their own wrinkle — Civil Code section 1938 requires a commercial lessor to state in every lease whether the premises have been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist. The duty attaches at the lease, not at the sale, which means a buyer inherits whatever posture your existing leases took. We would rather see the leases early and price what is actually in them.

Our buy box, stated plainly.
Fits the box? You will hear back fast. Does not fit? You will hear that just as fast, usually with the name of someone who does buy it.
Four steps, start to close.
You reach out
Use the form above or pick up the phone. Nothing is owed either way.
We underwrite
Leases, rent roll, trailing twelve months and comparable sales, all modeled in-house by our acquisitions team.
Written offer
A real number on an offer contract, plus a walkthrough of exactly how we got there.
Escrow and close
Your escrow, your title company, your closing date. We drive the process and work around a 1031 if you have one running.
Put a real number on your building.
Free, private, and you are under no obligation to sell.
What owners want to know before they call.
Question not here? Ask us on the phone.
(310) 620-2290Will I owe a commission?
Not to us. We are the buyer. If you are represented by a broker, Beverly Group respects executed fee agreements and works directly with your broker.
A major tenant's lease is expiring soon. Is that a problem?
Tell us up front. Near-term rollover changes how we underwrite the income, and we would much rather build it into the offer than run into it during diligence.
Do I need to deliver the building vacant?
No. We buy occupied buildings and take on the existing leases. You do not need to clear anyone out or hold space off the market while we close.
What condition does the property need to be in?
Whatever condition it is in today. Failed inspections, open code cases, work done without permits, systems past their useful life. We price all of it up front rather than using it to chip the number later.
I am selling out of a trust or probate.
Familiar ground. We are used to court confirmation timelines, multiple heirs and estate counsel, and we will work to whatever schedule the court sets.
I need to complete a 1031 exchange.
Tell us your dates. We will structure the close around your identification and 180-day windows, and extend escrow if that is what makes the exchange work.
How do you determine your offer?
We model the leases, the trailing twelve months of operating statements and comparable sales in-house. If the numbers support a higher price, that is the number you get.
Do you underwrite before or after offering?
Before. Our offers come from completed underwriting, not a number we revise once inspections come back.
How long does a sale take?
Three to six weeks from agreed terms is typical. If your tax planning, a rent-back or a 1031 clock calls for something slower, we will hold the schedule open as long as you need.
What types of property do you buy?
Commercial investment property across Los Angeles County and the surrounding markets, stabilized or value-add. Rather than guess whether yours fits, send the address and we will tell you.
Do you buy property outside Los Angeles?
LA County and the markets immediately around it are where we concentrate. Our principals have bought elsewhere in the country as well, so it is worth asking.
What if my property has code violations or open permits?
Raise them on the first call. Building and planning department files are routine work for us, and an issue priced into the offer is far cheaper for you than one uncovered mid-escrow.
Will you ask me to make repairs before closing?
Never. Whatever needs doing, we do it ourselves once the building is ours.
Who pays the closing costs?
Usually us. The purchase agreement spells out the split, and our starting position is that what it costs us to buy should not come out of what you walk away with.
Can I choose the escrow and title company?
Usually, yes. Name the firms you want to use and we will open with them.
What do you need from me to make an offer?
An address gets us started. Send a rent roll, copies of the leases and a trailing twelve months and we can tighten the number, but none of it is required for a first conversation.
What happens to my tenants after the sale?
Nothing changes for them. We step into the leases exactly as written, and residents are treated right through the transition.
Do I have to sell if I request an offer?
Not at all. Plenty of owners ask purely to find out where they stand. You get the number, and that can be the end of it.
I have a broker. Can I still sell my property to you?
Of course. Point them our way and the offer goes through them.
