BUYING A GAS STATION

Finding the Right Station:

Whether you are an individual or a large corporation, CRES can help you find the gas station that you are looking for.   With approximately 500 gas stations on the market in California at any given time, working with the right Broker is the most important decision you will make and can be the deciding factor in a successful or failed investment.  Many of these stations can be misrepresented as profitable cash-flow businesses when they are actually losing money.  Put our combined 30 plus years of experience in California gas station properties to work for you and make sure you that you are making the right decision! 

Once we understand your specific needs we can begin compiling a list of stations that we can look at together.  We also have a large portfolio of California gas stations listed by our office, CRES, so there’s always the possibility we have an ‘in-house’ deal.  CRES also works with hundreds of gas station owners and operators throughout California and we will market and search within our exclusive database as part of our process.  Additionally, we have preferred relationships with many Banks that give us exclusive representation on REO’s / Short Sales & Bank Note Purchase opportunities.  Regardless of the source, we will help you identify the best buy.   As a valued client of CRES, we will send you lists of new bay area and California gas stations as they become available on the market.

Analysis & Due Diligence:

CRES will perform an in-depth analysis of the gas station before you make a decision to purchase.  We have experience both on the outside as Insurance and Real Estate Agents as well as internal knowledge as a California gas station operator.  We will analyze many important factors such as location, traffic counts / patterns, surrounding population density, competition, and many other variables that will be important components of your decision.  Additionally, we will provide our brand or non-branded recommendations along with potential conversion opportunities with C-Stores or QSR’s such as 7-Eleven and Subway.  Upon inspection of the station we will provide you with our opinion of its business enterprise.  Upon completion, CRES will provide you with an estimated profit/loss projection you can use to make an informed decision to purchase at the right price.
