How are you feeling?
You have a commercial property to sell, which is probably as exciting as it is daunting. The earning potential has your wheels turning, but if you’re like most, there’s this underlying fear you can’t seem to shake. “You better not mess this up.”
The truth is, your instincts are spot on; they’re signaling that this is a high-stakes situation. They’re guiding you to approach the process with eyes wide open. And your first big decision? It’s hiring the right real estate team—a team that understands your goals and has the expertise to help you achieve them, on your terms.
Hi, I’m Ted.
Looking back with regret is not an option. That’s why I founded Realty Economic Advisors. We go layers and layers beyond recent comps to develop your strongest sales stance on a timeline that aligns with your goals.
Sometimes, that means we help you secure offers quickly with cash buyers. Other times, a more patient approach is chosen, exchanging a flexible timeline for maximum proceeds. Either way, we’ll spell out all your options in plain English so you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you’re making the wisest decision for you.
You deserve to know what you have, what it’s worth, and precisely how to sell it to meet your goals. Here’s how we help:
IN-DEPTH APPRAISALS
To understand your property’s true value, we go beyond generic comps. With nearly two decades as a state-certified (AZ) appraiser and the highest designation (MAI) from the Appraisal Institute, I do the deep analysis so you can move forward with confidence.
Precision over presumption.
FULL-PICTURE ADVISORY
All commercial real estate is nuanced, and some properties are especially complex. Early in my career, I became known for my expertise with complex properties and ownership interests. I carefully analyze all available and relevant metrics so no scenario is underdeveloped or overlooked.
Insight over impulse.
FINE-TUNED MARKETING
A good marketing strategy can’t be copied and pasted. After understanding your goals and gathering critical data, we determine the exact way to introduce your property to market—at the right time. Then, we negotiate offers to ensure you come out on top.
Bespoke over basic.
Let’s talk about your property.
We had a great experience working with Realty Economic Advisors. The team went above and beyond to keep us updated on market opportunities as we searched for the ideal property to expand our business. When the right building came up, they acted quickly and successfully assisted in closing the deal in a highly competitive environment.
Ted has been great to work with in my experience – he is easy to work with, quick to respond, proactive in his approach, and best of all, he is very good at his job! I highly recommend Ted to anyone looking for a true partner.
We have worked with Realty Economic Advisors on both the buying and selling sides of commercial and residential real estate transactions, and they have been phenomenal every step of the way. I appreciate Ted Knoell’s approach, his deep understanding of numbers, and his analytical mindset. They’ve been a breath of fresh air in what can often be a frustrating industry.

We’re not paid a cent until you close.
You may still be wondering…
If you want to sell quickly for cash, we can definitely help. While marketing time across the marketplace can vary significantly, generally ranging from 6 to 15 months, many property owners prefer faster solutions for a variety of reasons. Some prioritize personal convenience or need to implement tax strategies like a 1031 Exchange. Others may wish to reposition their equity into a different asset, type, or market. Some choose to move to a cash position to limit exposure to market risks while seeking a new opportunity. We can expedite the sale, allowing you to advance the timeline and take advantage of what’s next in life. If you plan to redeploy the sale proceeds into another property, we can also assist in identifying quality replacement properties.
Yes, if you’re okay with waiting for a higher price, we’re a great match. We focus on creating customized marketing plans to enhance your property’s appeal and maximize market exposure. With a more flexible timeline, we can capitalize on a broader buyer outreach, targeting the right audiences. By strategically positioning your property, cultivating interest, and negotiating effectively, we work to secure the highest return on your investment while also increasing the likelihood of a successful closing. Our goal is to help you get the most out of your sale while making the process as smooth as possible.
Beyond a “gut feeling,” clients choose to work with us because of our comprehensive real estate expertise, deep knowledge, and proactive commitment to quality service. They recognize our team as professional, experienced, and highly knowledgeable, with a proven track record of integrity and tenacity. We simplify the process, making it straightforward and stress-free, so our clients achieve better results in less time.
Our unique expertise spans property analytics, valuations, appraisals, strategic packaging, promotion, negotiations, and transaction management. At the helm, you’ll find me, Ted Knoell. I hold an active Real Estate Broker’s license and a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser license in Arizona. I also hold the prestigious MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute—the highest achievable credential for real estate appraisers, earned through rigorous experience and advanced education in real property valuation and analytics.
The interplay between these disciplines serves as a force multiplier, enhancing outcomes in meaningful ways. You can rest assured that your property will be thoroughly reviewed, expertly packaged for promotion, and backed by a robust, targeted marketing strategy to achieve the highest and best results.
When you hire us to sell your property, you centralize the entire process—leveraging my deep valuation experience, strong market relationships, results-driven marketing, and hands-on transaction management through a successful close of escrow. The same applies if you hire us to identify and secure a property purchase, including replacement properties for a 1031 exchange if needed.
Absolutely, we can help with that. Inheriting commercial property, land, or lots will provoke many questions and the need for decision-making. We’ll assist you through the entire process, from evaluating the property’s marketability and price to evaluating the best course of action, whether that’s selling, leasing, or holding onto it. Our goal is to make it as straightforward as possible while delivering the highest and best results for you.
Yes! We’re experienced in supporting religious organizations, charitable foundations, nonprofits, and private and charter schools to make sure you get the best outcome for your organization and community.
- Schools: We’ll handle selling your current facility, help you find a temporary spot, and/or locate and secure a permanent site for development that fits your community’s long-term needs.
- Nonprofits and Foundations: If you’ve been gifted a property and/or need to get the best value from a sale, we’ll guide you through the entire process to ensure the benefit of your gift is maximized.
- Churches and Religious Organizations: We have extensive experience working with religious communities to sell property, including ancillary property and land, and identify new properties for community relocation or expansion purposes.
Whether you intend to vacate the property before selling or wish to structure a sale with a lease to the new business or practice owner/operator in place at the close of escrow, we can absolutely assist. In fact, we love working with local business owners!
Absolutely! If you need a reliable property valuation without listing services, we can handle that. We can prepare a certified appraisal that conforms to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for independent, credible results applicable to your specific property. The scope of work is property-specific.
With confidence, no other boutique real estate firm offers our unique blend of sales representation (brokerage), consulting (advisory services), and certified property valuations (appraisal services) across both residential and commercial real estate.
At the helm, I (Ted) hold an active Real Estate Broker’s license and a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser license in Arizona. I also hold the prestigious MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute—the highest achievable credential for real estate appraisers, earned through rigorous experience and advanced education in real property valuation and analytics. The synergy between these disciplines acts as a force multiplier, enhancing outcomes in meaningful ways.
At other real estate firms, including national and global companies, these skill sets are typically divided across multiple departments. That means working with multiple professionals for each service, which quickly becomes costly. It also creates inefficiencies and gaps in knowledge, experience, planning, and execution—introducing vulnerabilities that can impact your results.
There is usually zero cost to you when you hire us. We front all our costs associated with property research, market research, development of the marketing package, and promotion of the subject property offering and outreach.
Our compensation is earned upon the successful close of escrow and is paid through the escrow company handling the transaction. The fee is negotiable and depends on factors such as the asset type, location, and scope of work. Before we begin, all terms will be clearly outlined in a client service agreement, giving you the opportunity to review and provide feedback.
Our services begin with a deep dive into the property’s physical and economic characteristics as well as an analysis of its market segment and overall marketability. This thorough evaluation informs the development of our marketing package, offering strategy, and targeted buyer outreach. As we build the property file, we share key findings and recommendations—many of which continue to evolve throughout the marketing process.
Our deep dive includes gathering zoning information, aerial imagery, county assessor (assessments) and treasurer (taxes) data, city or county zoning details, flood designation, property leases, rent roll, etc., and preliminary entitlement review to the extent they are available. This can be especially insightful if a change in use is being considered or if market data suggests untapped potential. Additionally, we conduct a highest and best-use analysis, evaluating what is legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive in the property’s current as-is condition.
If you don’t work with a team that brings our level of expertise and integrated approach, you risk wasting time and effort or even selling your property without a clear understanding of its value, a strong sales strategy, or a cohesive marketing plan. Critical details could be missed, leading to unnecessary complications, missed opportunities, or money left on the table. Our guidance ensures you’re positioned to maximize your sale with confidence while avoiding costly mistakes.
We are so confident in our services that our clients may cancel anytime and without cost.
