By Dean Burnette, Managing Broker at B3 (Best Business Brokers)
Folks, I’ve been in business brokerage for a good while now. What’s happening across Georgia reminds me of the old gold rush — only now, the gold is in local businesses and commercial property built with hard work. If you’re a small business owner or commercial real estate investor in Newnan, Peachtree City, Warner Robins, Jackson, Milledgeville, Savannah, or Hardeeville, it’s time to take a fresh look at what your assets might be worth in this thriving Southeast market. At Best Business Brokers (B3), we understand the Southern spirit of hard work, community, and trust—and we stand ready to serve you with the same integrity and expertise as the attorneys, lenders, and CPAs you rely on every day.
Georgia’s Growing and So Can Your Business
Every day, about 230 people move to Georgia, and only 180 head out. That’s a net gain of 50 every single day. If you run a business or own commercial property, you’re set to see new faces, more customers, and plenty of opportunity. It’s as real as sweet tea in the summer.
At B3 Brokers, we’re seeing more serious buyers and investors than we have deals to show them. It’s a true seller’s market. I am more excited than a kid on Christmas morning.
Your Business Might Be Worth More Than You Think
Now, why am I sharing all this? Because we’re seeing an uptick in buyer and investor activity like you wouldn’t believe. Folks are snapping up businesses and properties left and right – but here’s the kicker: we’re running low on inventory at B3. That’s where you come in. If you’ve been pondering, “What’s my business worth?” or “Is now the time to sell my commercial real estate?”, let me encourage you: yes, it just might be. Knowing your current market value isn’t just smart; it’s empowering. It gives you clarity to plan your next chapter – whether that’s retiring on your terms, reinvesting, or passing the torch. Plus, with all this growth, values are climbing. Why not ride that wave? Many owners wait too long and miss the peak, but you? You’re ahead of the curve.
And to make it easy, we’re offering our BOV (broker’s opinion of value) at a discount through August 31, 2025. That’s right – Real Value!
What is a Broker’s Opinion of Value?
A Broker’s Opinion of Value (BOV), often called a Broker Price Opinion (BPO), is an analysis crafted by a licensed business broker to assist both buyers and sellers. It’s a valuable tool that helps a seller set the right listing price for their business, property, or a combination of both, and conversely, it guides a buyer in formulating a suitable purchase bid.
While a BOV is less exhaustive than a full appraisal, it offers a practical, fact-based estimate of value. It’s also significantly more cost-effective and quicker to obtain than an appraisal, which typically requires a licensed appraiser and can take weeks. A BOV can often be completed in just a few days. It’s important to note that a BOV differs from a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which is primarily used in residential real estate.
What Does a Broker’s Opinion of Value Include?
When we conduct a BOV, we deeply analyze the business and its market to understand its true value. We primarily employ two key approaches: the Income Approach and the Sales Comparison Approach. Imagine the peace of mind: understanding what your hard work could fetch in today’s hot market. Moreover, starting the process now lets you prepare – tidy up those books, highlight your strengths – so when the right buyer knocks, you’re ready. Therefore, don’t sit on the sidelines; this Southern surge is your invitation to thrive.
Knowing Your Value Matters, Even If You’re Not Selling
You might not be planning to sell any time soon, and that’s fine. But knowing what your business or property is worth helps you make smart moves:
- You can plan for growth or improvement with better numbers.
- Your insurance can cover what your property is truly worth, not an old guess.
- If you talk partners or investors, you’ll be armed for fair deals.
- Estate planning works best when you know what you’ve got.
- With today’s strong seller’s market, timing could work in your favor.
