Commercial Real Estate
Gallivan’s commercial real estate division provides licensed brokerage services purpose-built for lenders, creditors, and legal counsel navigating distressed asset situations. We specialize in the disposition of REO properties, foreclosure assets, and receivership estates across industrial, commercial, and aviation portfolios—delivering the speed, documentation, and market transparency that institutions require. Our team manages the full disposition lifecycle, including site inspections, title coordination, regulatory compliance, and transaction management, so your team can focus on resolution rather than logistics. Whether you’re a bank working through a non-performing loan, a receiver appointed by the court, or counsel managing an estate liquidation, we bring the operational rigor and market expertise to move assets efficiently and defensibly.
Real Estate Auction Services
From lender-ordered foreclosures to court-supervised receivership sales, Gallivan manages the full spectrum of commercial real estate auction transactions. Bringing licensed expertise, deep buyer networks, and aggressive marketing to every engagement.
We work directly with lenders, servicers, and asset managers to execute court-ordered and non-judicial foreclosure sales on industrial, commercial, and income-producing properties. Accelerated timelines, full compliance, maximum recoveries.
Gallivan regularly serves as the auction arm for bankruptcy trustees and Chapter 7/11 proceedings, conducting transparent, court-approved sales that satisfy creditor requirements and maximize asset recovery.
When a court-appointed receiver needs to liquidate real property, we provide turnkey auction and marketing services. Working within receiver timelines, coordinating with legal counsel, and driving competitive bidder participation.
We manage estate-held commercial and industrial properties through structured auction events, satisfying probate court requirements while ensuring heirs and administrators receive fair market value through competitive bidding.
From tax delinquent properties to sheriff's deed sales, we support municipalities and counties with organized, well-marketed auction events that increase buyer participation and improve outcomes for all stakeholders.
Whether sellers want the market-driven urgency of an absolute auction or the protection of a published reserve, we structure the right format for your property type, timeline, and disposition goals.
Receivership & Distressed Asset Sales
Receivership and distressed asset sales demand a different kind of auction partner—one who understands the legal constraints, moves quickly, and communicates clearly with courts, attorneys, and creditors at every step.
Gallivan has extensive experience operating within receiver-directed dispositions. We understand how to coordinate with appointed receivers, comply with court-ordered sale procedures, and execute marketing campaigns that produce real competition on the day of sale—not just activity on paper.
We bring the same auction infrastructure we use for major industrial liquidations to real estate dispositions: national buyer outreach, professional marketing materials, online and live bidding platforms, and full documentation for court reporting.
- Court-supervised real property dispositions
- Coordination with appointed receivers and legal counsel
- Multi-property portfolio liquidations
- Distressed commercial, industrial & mixed-use assets
- Deed-in-lieu and post-foreclosure REO sales
- Partial interest and tenancy-in-common dispositions
- Lender credit bid advisory and strategy
- Emergency and accelerated sale timelines
- Full documentation packages for court approval
- National and regional buyer outreach campaigns
Auction Marketing That Moves Property
An auction is only as good as the buyers in the room—and buyers only show up when the marketing is done right. Gallivan doesn't just list properties; we run targeted campaigns built to generate qualified competition at the sale.
We evaluate the asset, identify the buyer profile, and structure the right auction format—absolute, reserve, online-only, or live event—before a single dollar is spent on marketing.
Targeted digital advertising, LoopNet & Crexi listings, direct mail to qualified investors, broker outreach, and industry email campaigns—all coordinated around a single sale date to create urgency.
Property brochures, data rooms, site inspection coordination, and legal disclosures—presented professionally so buyers can underwrite quickly and bid with confidence.
Whether live on-site, online, or simulcast, we run the event, manage bidder registration, and shepherd the transaction from high bid through closing—including court reporting when required.
