Commercial Real Estate Investment Sales in Metro Atlanta
Delivering Maximum Value, Seamless Execution, and Certainty of Close for Commercial Property Owners and Institutional Investors
Successful commercial property sales require three elements: accurate pricing based on market intelligence, access to a qualified buyer pool, and expert transaction execution. Our investment sales practice delivers all three.
With deep expertise in Metro Atlanta's office, medical, and industrial markets, we understand the nuances that drive value in each asset class. Our approach combines comprehensive market analysis, targeted buyer outreach across private and institutional capital sources, and sophisticated negotiation to achieve optimal outcomes.
Every engagement begins with a detailed property evaluation and strategic positioning plan. We then execute a multi-channel marketing campaign designed to reach the specific buyer profile most likely to transact at or above market pricing. From LOI through closing, we manage every detail to ensure seamless execution and certainty of close.
Selling Your Commercial Property in Metro Atlanta
Whether you're a business owner ready to retire and monetize your building, or a small investor looking to exit a commercial property, Cumberland & Worthy provides the local expertise and personal attention needed to achieve a successful sale.
We understand that selling commercial real estate is often an emotional decision as much as a financial one—especially when you've built your business in that building for decades. Our approach combines professional marketing and negotiation with the personalized service you'd expect from a boutique brokerage that truly knows the Metro Atlanta market.
From initial property valuation through closing, we guide you through every step of the process. We'll help you understand current market conditions in your specific submarket, prepare your property for sale, identify the right buyer pool (whether that's owner-users, investors, or 1031 exchange buyers), and negotiate terms that protect your interests while maximizing your net proceeds.
Our focus on Cobb County and North Fulton County means we have deep relationships with local buyers, understand neighborhood-specific value drivers, and can position your property to stand out in a competitive market. You're not just another listing to us—you're a neighbor, and we're invested in your success.

Cumberland & Worthy provides investment sales advisory to institutional investors, family offices, and private capital seeking to divest commercial assets in Metro Atlanta. Our approach is built on market intelligence, buyer network access, and disciplined transaction execution.
We understand the metrics that drive institutional decision-making—cap rates, NOI optimization, 1031 exchange timing, and portfolio rebalancing strategies. Our engagements are structured to deliver maximum net proceeds while minimizing time-on-market and transaction risk. We don't waste your time with unqualified buyers or unrealistic pricing—we bring you executable offers from vetted capital sources.
Our institutional practice focuses on office, medical office, and industrial properties ranging from $3 million to $10 million in Metro Atlanta's core submarkets. We maintain active relationships with regional and national buyers including institutional funds, private equity groups, high-net-worth 1031 buyers, and strategic acquirers. When you engage us to sell an asset, you gain immediate access to this network along with our expertise in deal structuring, due diligence management, and closing coordination.
We operate with the discretion and professionalism expected in institutional transactions. Confidential marketing, NDA management, and strategic buyer targeting are standard components of our process.

Investment Sales Specialization: Property Types & Markets
Cumberland & Worthy specializes in the sale of commercial properties valued between $1 million and $10 million throughout Metro Atlanta, with concentrated expertise in Cobb County and North Fulton County. This is the market where private investors, regional capital, UHNW families, and institutional buyers are most active—and where deep local market knowledge creates measurable value.
Industrial Properties
We sell industrial buildings ranging from 5,000 to 150,000 square feet—warehouses, flex spaces, and light manufacturing facilities in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, and Norcross. These properties typically include owner-occupied or single-tenant industrial buildings along the I-75 corridor and Highway 400 North corridor where highway access, outdoor storage, and vehicle parking drive value. Our expertise includes understanding which buyers prioritize dock-high facilities versus grade-level loading, clear heights for racking systems, and outdoor yard configurations.
Office Buildings
Our office building sales practice focuses on single-tenant & multi-tenant properties from 5,000 to 250,000 square feet in submarkets including Cumberland Galleria, Kennesaw, Alpharetta, Central Perimeter, and Roswell. These are institutional-quality buildings where private investors, family offices, and small institutional funds compete for well-located assets with stable tenant rosters and value-add opportunities. We understand Class A, B, and C office dynamics, tenant retention strategies, and the repositioning opportunities that drive investor returns in suburban Atlanta office markets.
Healthcare Real Estate | Medical Office Buildings
We represent sellers of single-tenant and multi-tenant medical office properties from 2,000 to 50,000 square feet. Medical office buildings require specialized knowledge of healthcare tenant creditworthiness, build-out amortization, physician ownership structures, and hospital affiliation dynamics. Our buyer network includes healthcare REITs, physician groups seeking to own their real estate, and private investors attracted to the stability of medical tenants with long-term leases.
Geographic Expertise: Cobb County & North Fulton County
We track every sale, every listing, and every new development in Cobb County and North Fulton County—specifically Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Alpharetta, Roswell, and Sandy Springs. This isn't national data aggregated from CoStar six months after the fact. We know what properties actually sold for (not just asking prices), which buildings are coming to market before they're publicly listed, and which buyer groups are actively seeking opportunities in each submarket. That level of hyper-local intelligence only comes from focusing on a specific market and operating in it every single day.
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Commercial Property in Metro Atlanta
Q: How long does it take to sell a commercial building in Metro Atlanta?
A: Most commercial properties in Metro Atlanta sell within 90 to 180 days, depending on property type, location, pricing, and market conditions. Well-priced office buildings in high-demand submarkets like Marietta or Alpharetta typically sell faster (60-120 days), while specialized industrial properties or off-market locations may take longer. Our process includes strategic pre-marketing to qualified buyers before public listing, which often shortens time-on-market significantly.
Q: What types of commercial properties does Cumberland & Worthy sell?
A: We specialize in selling office buildings, medical office buildings, and industrial properties valued between $1 million and $10 million in Cobb County and North Fulton County. This includes single and multi-tenant office buildings (5,000-250,000 SF), industrial warehouses and flex spaces (5,000-150,000 SF), and medical office properties (2,000-50,000 SF). We work with property owners, institutional investors, family offices, and regional capital seeking to divest commercial assets in Metro Atlanta.
Q: What is the commission for selling a commercial building?
A: Our investment sales commission is typically 5-6% of the sale price, which includes comprehensive marketing, buyer outreach, transaction management, and negotiation services through closing. This represents the total brokerage fee—if a buyer is represented by their own broker, the commission is split between both parties. Our full-service approach includes professional marketing materials, targeted outreach to our extensive buyer network, expert negotiation, and rigorous transaction coordination. Given that professional representation consistently achieves higher sale prices through strategic positioning and competitive buyer tension, our clients typically net significantly more than they would in direct sale scenarios, even after commission.
Q: How do you determine the value of a commercial property?
A: We provide comprehensive property valuations based on recent comparable sales, current market rental rates, capitalization rate analysis, and buyer demand in your specific submarket. Our valuation process includes reviewing your property's income and expenses, analyzing recent transactions of similar properties, assessing current market conditions, and identifying value drivers specific to your asset class. We offer complimentary property valuations for qualified commercial properties in Metro Atlanta—contact us to schedule a confidential consultation.
Q: Do I need to make improvements to my building before selling?
A: Not necessarily. While cosmetic improvements can sometimes increase value, major capital expenditures rarely produce dollar-for-dollar returns in commercial sales. We evaluate your property's condition and help you determine which improvements (if any) make economic sense. Often, pricing the property appropriately for its current condition and marketing to buyers seeking value-add opportunities produces better net proceeds than spending $100K+ on renovations before listing. We'll provide an honest assessment of what makes financial sense for your specific situation.
Q: How do you maintain confidentiality during the sale process?
A: We understand the importance of discretion in institutional transactions. Our process includes confidential marketing to pre-qualified buyers, NDA execution before sharing detailed property information, strategic buyer targeting to avoid broad market exposure if desired, and coordination with your timeline to minimize tenant or operational disruption. We've managed off-market transactions for institutional clients where only a select group of qualified buyers were approached, ensuring complete confidentiality until closing.
Q: What areas does Cumberland & Worthy cover for commercial property sales?
A: We specialize in Cobb County and North Fulton County, including Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Alpharetta, Roswell, and Sandy Springs. We also serve the broader Metro Atlanta market including Buckhead, Midtown, Perimeter, and select submarkets along the I-75 and Highway 400 corridors. Our deep expertise in Northwest Atlanta means we track every comparable sale, understand submarket-specific buyer preferences, and maintain relationships with active investors and owner-users in these markets.
Q: What is the process for selling a commercial property with Cumberland & Worthy?
A: Our process begins with a confidential property evaluation and market analysis. We then develop a strategic pricing and marketing plan, prepare professional property marketing materials, execute targeted outreach to qualified buyers in our network, manage property tours and due diligence, negotiate offers and purchase agreements, and coordinate all aspects of the transaction through closing. Most sellers appreciate that we continue marketing properties even after an offer is accepted to maintain backup buyer interest and ensure certainty of close. The entire process typically takes 90-180 days from engagement to closing.
