Top 5 real estate websites dentists must visit before buying an office

Nov. 11, 2014
Finding the perfect real estate for your dental practice can be a whole lot easier with these websites serving as a starting point.

If you want to open your own dental office, you need to make sure you’re purchasing or renting in the right area of town. There are many different zoning laws and regulations throughout the country, so there will always be laws you need to follow in your area. These top five real estate websites may help you with your decision. Each of these sites is designed to help you find the perfect location for your office with the right zoning. But remember: it’s it is still important for you to ask your real estate agent questions to clarify the information offered by the websites.

LoopNet LoopNet is designed specifically for commercial real estate. You select the kind of office property you’re looking for, including "health care," and the website will inform you of the property options available to you. You can see what is for sale and what is for lease, plus you can look at property records to see which one will give you what you need and what has occupied the property in the past. When you want to open your own dental office, this is an excellent site to start with.

CityFeet
CityFeet will help you connect with a broker who will work with you on your particular real estate requirements. This includes not only the fact that you want to open a dental office, but also the general location you want and the size you’re going for. It doesn’t matter where you are in the country, this is an excellent site for you to check out to obtain a broker.

U.S. Small Business Administration
This is a must visit for your searches. The SBA is going to help you find available properties (although these listings might not be as up to date as what you’ll find with LoopNet) and give you necessary legal advice for opening your own business. The U.S. wants you to open up a business, as it is good for the country, but the government wants to make sure all laws and regulations are followed. That is why it’s a must that you check out the SBA website.

Commercial Search
Commercial Search is not only going to help you find a property for your search, but it can also help you hook up with mortgage lenders. This makes the site a helpful option, and why it is in the top five real estate websites.

CoStar
CoStar gives you connections to available property and mortgage lenders, and can also help connect you with possible investors who are looking to invest in different kinds of property. This will help you bring in more money, and you may not have to take out as large of a commercial mortgage.
