THE PIVOT

Listed for six months with another apartment brokerage firm without success, the property required a fresh approach. The owners, having worked effectively with our team on a separate deal, recognized our unique capabilities and we earned the exclusive property assignment

CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED

  • Condition Concerns: The property needed significant attention, including graffiti removal, bulky item pickup, and landscaping enhancements.

  • Tight Timeline: The sellers had already identified their upleg for their 1031 exchange, creating a pressing need for a timely sale.

STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED

Our team, understanding the stakes, set an ambitious goal: secure the right buyer within a month.

Our efforts culminated in attracting multiple buyers by leveraging dynamic marketing strategies and ability to tap our large network of apartment investors. We were ultimately able to attract the right investment group which was a seasoned 1031 exchange buyer who owned in the area.

Our coordinated efforts ensured the property was presented in the best possible light. During the course of the listing we huddled up with the buyer and seller in order to keep the property clean and have it look it’s best for the appraisal. We scheduled multiple bulky item cleanup pickups, had management hose down the property every week and scheduled the landscapers to keep the grounds clear of any trash overflow and debris.  

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

This rapid turnaround not only met but exceeded the seller's expectations, highlighting our team's focused and effective results. The buyer was excited about this value-add purchase and were elated that the building appraised for full value and obtained their desired loan.

Icing on the cake was that according to Costar’s all-time historic sales statistics - at the time this was reported, this sale ( ranks #1 ) in price per square foot for an apartment building in the city of Wilmington.
