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. Contact us to get in touch with an experienced and local commercial agent to help you find the perfect commercial space.

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.

Holiday Decor Storage - J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc.

From October through December, the joys of the holidays are abundant. Unfortunately, so is the cleanup afterward. If your storage area is a nightmare full of boxes and bags, it's time to roll up your sleeves and organize so that all of your beautiful decorations are out of your way and ready for next year. But where should you begin? Our real estate agents have a few tips to help you get started.

  • Invest in matching storage containers
    This is not to make your garage look pretty, although it will be far nicer to look at than a pile of sagging, dirty boxes. Matching containers mean that you can stack them high to utilize all the vertical space available without creating a huge footprint. While you're at it, buy plenty of labels so that each container can be marked with its contents. That way, you won't have to search through Thanksgiving linens to look for the Halloween skeletons. Cardboard invites pests to investigate the contents, so opt for plastic containers. This is one time that biodegradable is not the best choice.

Fall Home Decor Ideas - J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc.

Fall is one of our real estate agents' favorite times of the year. With apple cider donuts, spooky themes, and pumpkin spice lattes, we can't help but feel excited about all things fall. And while nature's magic is happening outside, it's time to dress your home with colors and materials that make your space look and feel as cozy and homey as possible. The interior décor trends we're seeing for fall 2021 revolve around comfort, color, and convenience. Here are the biggest fall home décor trends of 2021.

  • Heirloom Furniture and Décor
    Bespoke furnishings and vintage décor are all the rage for fall 2021. This trend centers on taking accessories and furniture often seen in grandma's house and pairing them with modern ones to create a mashup style. This, for instance, could mean displaying an heirloom vase on a simple, modern dining table or dusting off old picture frames. This fall is the perfect time to display your flea market finds, grannie's heirloom pieces, and travel mementos.

Closet Turned Office - Wichita, KS - J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc.

Have you found yourself working from home a little more frequently this past year? You're not alone if you have, and you're not likely to return to the office anytime soon. Most Americans have indicated they would prefer to work from home rather than return to the cubicle. However, many Americans have discovered that working from home daily requires finding creative ways to transform areas into ad hoc offices. If you're looking for a fast and easy way to find space and close up the office at the end of the day, our real estate agents recommend taking a closer look at your cluttered closets. 

Clutter Can Go

Closets are catch-alls for clutter. They are filled with old sporting equipment, packing materials, shopping bags, old shoes, items for Goodwill, and more. While that little voice in the back of your head says, "You'll use this someday," that little voice is blowing smoke. You'll never need it. You'll never use it. And, you'll never miss it. So, clear it out and toss or donate it. With spring cleaning in high gear, now is the perfect time to motivate yourself to create a cloffice you will use week after week, year after year.

Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters' annual For Kids' Sake Campaign has been a tradition for over thirty years and accounts for about one-third of the KSBBBS overall revenue budget. Weigand became directly involved as an organization in 2019, forming fundraising teams and raising $8,200 in its first year to support the youth served by KSBBBS. When the pandemic hit, it was apparent that the 2020 fundraising efforts and bowling parties would have to be canceled, resulting in a significant loss of funds for the organization.

 

As a result, Johnathan Weigand and Josh Turner stepped into action with other ways to help. Weigand employees came together and collected food items for the grocery care packages that were distributed to the KSBBS youth and their families. Then, the idea was formed to host a golf tournament in the fall to provide additional financial support.

 

On Friday, October 9, 2020, the 1st Annual J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc. Charity Golf Classic was held at Terradyne Country Club. Twenty-one sponsors and teams raised more than $15k to support the nearly 800 Big/Little matches in Sedgwick County.


"Weigand is proud to partner with Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters to support our local youth," said Johnathan Weigand, BBBS Community Leadership Council member. We were pleased to be able to provide assistance to their well-deserving program when it was much needed, and we look forward to continuing our partnership in the future."

 

 

Recruiting volunteers for youth waiting for a Big Brother or Sister is an ever-present need. And, during these times, our youth need us more than ever. You are encouraged to join the thousands of mentors across Kansas who are making a difference, including Weigand's very own Big Sister, Kelly Watkins.
