Welcome to Kaizen Properties
An open letter to owners of property considering a sale to Kaizen Properties, from our founder
Hello and welcome to our site - we're glad you found us here.
We are a tight-knit commercial real estate group based out of Seattle, WA with a focus on purchasing and stabilizing self-storage facilities and other mixed-use commercial properties. We are project sponsors and are currently purchasing specific commercial properties in select markets across the United States.
Have a property you're interested in selling? Here are our criteria.
If you own a commercial property and are considering selling, we may be interested in creating an offer for you to consider. Here are the criteria we generally look for when evaluating properties. If your property meets 3 or more of these criteria, please give us a call to discuss further.
- - Metro Statistical Area (MSA) has a population of 50,000 or more
- - MSA has seen a net positive growth in the population since the last census
- - Property is located outside of a FEMA designated 100 year or 500 year flood zone
- - For self storage and industrial facilities, we are looking for properties that are over 10,000 Net Rentable Square Feet (NRSF)
- - We consider other commercial assets on a case-by-case basis, so long as the gross revenue exceeds $70,000 per year
If your property meets the above criteria, great! Give us a call to discuss a potential sale. Here are some reason why owners love selling to Kaizen Properties:
You will reach the closing table faster. We work quickly and efficiently and, most importantly, we understand what it's like to be in your shoes as we've sold many of our own properties to-date. Our offer processes are highly refined, which means we are able to create accurate offers at the speed of email.
You can be confident in our offer. We pour a substantial amount of effort into our underwriting. Our goal is a 100% close rate - if we present an offer and you accept that offer, you can feel confident that we will close. We will utilize multiple tactics to ensure we reach the closing table - even if the deal ends up not penciling for our firm, we have a substantial network of investors who we can present and assign the deal to in order to ensure your property closes at the negotiated price. And if we do assign the property to an investor in our network, there is zero cost to you - the fee will be paid by the buyer, not the seller.
You will not be blocked by banks. We are connected to a substantial network of investors through our popular podcast The Real Estate Investing Club. We are able to raise capital quickly for each deal we pursue.
You can trust a track record of excellence & integrity. We have been acquiring commercial properties since 2019 and are proud of the service we provide to our sellers, investors and customers. We work with integrity, speed and candor and aim to provide as quick and stress-free a sale's process as possible.
So please feel confident reaching out to ask questions. When you're ready to consider an offer, call us at 253-766-5100 so we can learn more about you and your property.

Frequently Asked Question
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
I own a commercial property and would like to see an offer. How do I get started?
If you have a property that meets at minimum 3 of our basic buying criteria, and you would like for us to create a Letter of Intent for you to consider, please start by submitting a form on this website or by calling our acquisitions team at 253-766-5100.
If I like your offer, how long until we can close?
If you decide that you like our offer, the due diligence and closing period can take anywhere between 1 month to 3 months.
How do I know if my property meets your buying criteria?
While every property is underwritten uniquely, we have a few buying criteria we follow to streamline our analysis process. In order for your property to qualify for our acquisitions team to underwrite the project, your property must meet at minimum 3 of the following criteria:
- Metro Statistical Area (MSA) has a population of 50,000 or more
- Metro Statistical Area (MSA) has a net positive migration
- Property is located outside of a FEMA designated 100 year or 500 year flood zone
- For self storage and industrial facilities, we are looking for properties that are over 10,000 Net Rentable Square Feet (NRSF)
- We consider other commercial assets on a case-by-case basis, so long as the gross revenue exceeds $70,000 per year
Do you buy properties in poor condition?
Yes! Absolutely. In fact, we prefer to purchase properties with some room for improvements, as we love the creative process of adding value to an existing property.
Do you wholesale or assign properties?
Absolutely! Our goal for you is 100% confidence in closing at the negotiated price, terms and within the given timeline. If you and I come to an agreement, then we will do everything in our power to reach the closing table. Even if it means we aren't the ones to close the deal ourselves. Unlike selling with a broker where the seller (you) has to pay the brokerage fee, with assignments the fee is paid by the buyer, so there is zero cost to you.
How long does it take to produce an LOI?
From start to finish, the initial offer process (from the discovery call to a Letter of Intent) will take anywhere between 24 to 72 hours.
What are the terms of the sale?
Our Letter of Intent packages include three separate sale structures - one with conventional bank financing and two with seller financing. In addition to the three sale structures, our terms of sale include 60 days Due Diligence, 30 days Financing (Conventional Financing Only), 15 days Closing, and 1% Earnest Money Deposit
How do you finance the purchase?
We have a number of tools in our financial tool-belt. Our preferred method of financing is through owner-financing - we believe this method creates the best win-win scenario for both us as the buyer, and you as the seller. As a note holder, you will benefit from interest payments for years to come, usually completely replacing your current cash flow in interest alone. If you prefer to have a lump-sum payment at close, we will finance via our pre-established commercial banking relationships. In addition, we have a number of private lenders who we work with that are familiar with our underwriting.
In what areas do you purchase property?
We buy commercial real estate in select MSA's across the united states. Our buying criteria is regions with an MSA (metropolitan statistical area) of 50,000 or more that is growing in population.
What will you need from me during due diligence?
There are a number of standard documents we will need from you in order to close. For a list of documents we will ask of you, click the link here.
