Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does W Commercial Real Estate serve?
W Commercial Real Estate focuses on Sonoma County and the greater North Bay, including Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Windsor, Sonoma, and Cloverdale. We pair hyper-local submarket knowledge with national-tenant relationships.
What types of commercial property do you handle?
We advise on industrial, retail, office, and multifamily assets — covering investment sales, landlord and tenant leasing, owner-user acquisitions, 1031 exchanges, valuations, and market analytics.
Do you represent tenants as well as owners and landlords?
Yes. We provide both landlord and tenant representation. Our principals have represented national tenants including Tesla, Caliber Collision, and G&C Auto Body, negotiating site selection, lease structure, and renewals.
What is a 1031 exchange, and can W Commercial help with one?
A 1031 exchange lets an investor defer capital-gains tax by reinvesting proceeds from a sold property into a like-kind replacement property within IRS timelines. We guide owners through the full 1031 process with a strategy focused on clarity, timing, and long-term income preservation.
How much does a property valuation cost?
Our broker opinion of value (property valuation) is free and carries no obligation. It is backed by recent comparable sales, current market velocity, and our own underwriting models.
Do you have access to off-market listings?
Yes. Many of our best transactions never reach the public listing services. We maintain a private pipeline of pre-listing and off-market opportunities for qualified buyers and tenants.
