When looking for commercial space, there are many factors that need to be taken into account in order to ensure you find the right property. Location, price point, and size are all important considerations when selecting a commercial space. To make sure you find the perfect fit, here are some of the things you should consider before signing a lease or making an offer.

• LOCATION
  The location of your property is one of the most important aspects to consider when looking for commercial space. You want to make sure that it's easily accessible for customers and employees alike. This means taking into account traffic patterns and potential parking availability. Additionally, take a look at what other businesses are located within the area—this can give you an idea of how popular the area is amongst customers and how easy it will be for them to find your business.
  
  
• PRICE POINT
  Another key consideration is price point. Be sure to factor in all associated costs such as taxes and fees prior to signing any paperwork or making an offer on a property. It's also important to consider what amenities are included in the lease agreement as this can impact your bottom line as well. Make sure you review all documents carefully before agreeing to anything so that you have a clear understanding of what is being offered and expected from both parties involved in the transaction.
   
• SIZE
  Finally, size matters when it comes to choosing commercial space! You want to choose a space that can accommodate the needs of your business without feeling too cramped or too large for its purpose. Additionally, think about any potential expansion plans when assessing size requirements—you don't want to have to move again in just a few months once your business starts growing!

Finding commercial space can be an overwhelming process but by keeping these three considerations in mind—location, price point, and size—you'll be well on your way toward finding the perfect fit for your business needs! With careful planning and research, you'll be able to find a suitable property that meets all of your expectations in no time.

When it comes to selling commercial or residential property, auctions can be a great way to move a property quickly and efficiently. An auction is an accelerated method of sale that draws many potential buyers, generates competition, and increases the likelihood of getting the best price for your property. Before deciding whether an auction is the right choice for you, there are some signs that indicate you should consider doing an auction.

• QUICK SALE
  The first sign is if you want to sell quickly. Auctions greatly expedite property sales due to their competitive nature; often times buyers are willing to bid more than they may have with other methods of sale in order to secure the property. If speed is your main goal, then an auction may be the best way to go about it.
   
• MAXIMUM MARKET EXPOSURE
  A second sign is if you're looking for maximum market exposure. During auctions, properties often receive attention from national, regional, and local markets; this allows more buyers to participate in the bidding process and can draw top dollar for your property. With traditional sales methods, you miss out on reaching potential buyers who are outside of your immediate area; with an auction, however, anyone may potentially take part in the bidding regardless of their location.
  
  
• MULTIPLE PROPERTIES
  Another indication that an auction might be right for your situation is if you have multiple properties or large parcels of land that could benefit from a collective sale. Auctions allow you to "package" multiple items into one lot and draw more interest than each individual item would receive through traditional means; this could also generate higher bids from investors with specific interests in certain types of properties or geographic areas. Additionally, when multiple properties are being sold at once during an auction, it reduces paperwork and administrative costs associated with separate purchases over time; this gives sellers greater returns on investment when done properly.
  
  
• "STALE" LISTING
  Finally, you should consider doing an auction for commercial or residential properties if the listing has been on market for too long without any real buyer interest or offers coming through—sometimes called "stale" listings by real estate agents—as this could signal potential problems such as title defects or overpricing issues that need addressing before any type of sale takes place. An auction provides fresh energy and excitement around sales while allowing more flexibility with terms regarding inspections and financing which can help bring out buyers otherwise hesitant due to those concerns.

In conclusion, there are numerous indications that point toward doing an auction when selling commercial or residential properties such as needing a quick sale, wanting maximum market exposure for your listing(s), having multiple units/parcels available together rather than individually listed, or having stale inventory from longer-than-usual marketing periods without substantial offers coming through regularly. If even one of these conditions applies to you then it might be worth considering giving auctions a chance as they offer considerable advantages over traditional selling methods while helping to get the most value out of what's being sold quickly and effectively.

Art comes in so many forms. While many people keep art in their homes for their own enjoyment, there's also art displayed publicly for the enjoyment of all. Outdoor sculptures fall into this category of public art, and Wichita is home to some lovely ones. Here are some sculptures our real estate agents think you'll enjoy.

• Keeper of the Plains: 650 N. Seneca St., Wichita, KS 67203
  Keeper of the Plains is a magnificent steel statue built where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers intersect. It was created in 1974 by Blackbear Bosin, a Native American artist, in honor of the surrounding land's sacred significance to the Native people.
  
  Stretching more than 44 feet into the sky, this statue is truly a sight to behold. If you visit at 9 pm in the spring or summer or at 7 pm in the fall or winter, the accompanying Ring of Fire will be lit, casting a gorgeous light on the statue.

Our real estate agents suggest stepping into the past at these Wichita destinations.  

1. Old Mill Tasty Shop – 604 E. Douglas Ave., Wichita, KS 67202
