Buy Commercial Property
Buying gives an owner-user long-term control and a path to ownership. Our free market report matches you with potential properties, and we coordinate due diligence, including environmental, inspection, zoning, financial, and title review, so you close knowing what you're buying.

Whether you're leasing for the first time, renewing, relocating, or expanding, we represent you as the tenant and negotiate terms that fit your operation. The landlord typically pays the tenant-representation commission, so you get an experienced negotiator on your side without a fee out of pocket.

What Clients Say
Commercial Property Types in Charlotte
Office Space
Find office space that fits your team, your clients, and your plans, whether it's a first location or an expansion. We help you size the space, compare buildings, parking, accessibility, and lease terms, and plan the move.
Office space in CharlotteIndustrial Space
An industrial property has to support the way your business receives, stores, makes, repairs, or moves goods. We evaluate power, loading, clear height, zoning, and access to the interstates and Norfolk Southern's Charlotte Regional Intermodal Facility.
Industrial space in CharlotteFlex Space
Flex space puts office and warehouse functions under one roof, which can cut costs for contractors, trades, distributors, and service companies. More than half of Regent's transactions have involved flex space.
Flex space in CharlotteWarehouse Space
For warehouse users, square footage is only the first filter: loading, truck access, ceiling height, power, and room to grow decide whether a building works. If rent is eating into margins, we can also compare buying a warehouse with leasing one.
Warehouse space in CharlotteIndustrial Outdoor Storage
IOS sites need more land than most commercial uses, which makes them harder to find close to Charlotte's core. We help building supply houses, equipment rental companies, and other yard-based businesses find sites with the right zoning, surface, security, and highway access.
Industrial outdoor storage in CharlotteRetail Space
The right retail location brings the foot traffic, visibility, and parking your business needs, from a small shop or café to a space in a grocery-anchored center. We help you compare corridors, centers, and neighborhoods against your customers and your brand.
Retail space in CharlotteRegent CRE by the Numbers
Lease: $34.7M / $21.7M / $21.2M · Sales: $6.4M / $18.3M / $26.1M. 2026 figures are year to date through October 2026. Lease volume reflects total lease value over the full term.
We closed more than $128 million in sales and leases between 2024 and October 2026, and 2026 has already surpassed each of the two prior full years. Leasing makes up most of our deal count, with an average lease value of about $583,000, while sales have grown each year, from $6.4 million in 2024 to $26.1 million so far in 2026. Our clients range from small businesses signing a first lease to owner-users closing on multimillion-dollar facilities.

“The most common mistake I see is choosing a building on square footage and rent alone. In Charlotte, two buildings at the same price can work very differently once you look at loading, clear height, power, and how quickly your trucks can reach I-85 or I-77. I'd rather spend the first call on how your business runs than on a list of buildings.”Brian Smith, SIOR, CCIM, MBA
