Below are common categories used to distinguish multifamily buildings. Buyers are often looking to purchase a specific type of property, and care more about the type of deal than the location or price. Understanding what type of building you own allows us to anticipate the probable Buyer profile, know where to focus marketing efforts, and how to structure the sale. The saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure" reminds us of the power of strategic marketing - one of my strengths.
I know how to effectively market all types of buildings in a way that speaks to the likely Buyer profile and conveys why they can't afford to pass up buying your building. My tailored marketing plans create competition among top Buyers and generate multiple offers when priced correctly. This positions my Sellers to command a higher price and more favorable terms. It pays to hire me to sell your property!

"HEAVY FIXER"
Property requires a full rehab (down to the studs) and may have significant issues such as foundation, structural, non-conforming units, REAP, hostile tenants, legal or title issues. Cannot be financed with a traditional loan, so cash and bridge loans are common.
Probable Buyers: Experienced rehabbers, 1031 Buyers, well capitalized individuals, families, and funds.
