Buyers Registration
And Businesses Wanted Section Added To Restaurant
Realty's Website - www.RestaurantRealty.com
Effective immediately we have added a "Buyer
Registration" section to our website. This section
allows a buyer to enter his/her criteria for an
acquisition and/or lease of a restaurant, bar and/or
club into our system. The buyer's information
includes the following:
a) Does he/she want to buy and/or
lease a restaurant, bar and/or club?,
b) What geographic area(s) is the
buyer looking for?
c) How much cash does the buyer
have to invest?
d) Other information includes how
many square feet, number of seats, and any other
specifics such as type of restaurant - full
service, fast food, ethnic and other buyer's
data such as name, address, email address, phone
and fax numbers.
After we receive this information we assign the
buyer a code number and enter the data into our
"Businesses Wanted" section which is a separate
section found on our home page. The "Businesses
Wanted" section is categorized by county for buyers
looking for restaurants, bars, and/or clubs in the
following counties: A is for Alameda County, M is
for Marin County, SF is for San Francisco County, SM
is for San Mateo County, SC is for Santa Clara
County, ME is for Mendocino County, N is for Napa
County, S is for Sonoma County, C is for Contra
Costa County and 0 is for two or more counties
listed above or another county not listed above.
This section will allow restaurant, bar and/or club
owners who do not have their businesses listed but
wish to sell their business the opportunity to
search our "Businesses Wanted" section to see if
there is a buyer listed whose criteria matches the
owners criteria for a potential sale. Similarly this
section will afford another real estate agent/broker
who has a particular restaurant, bar and/or club
listing for sale the opportunity to go to our
"Businesses Wanted" section and locate a buyer for
his/her listing. We feel that these new sections
will increase our sales volume and provide a viable
service to business owners and real estate
agents/brokers to locate qualified buyers and
complete transactions.
