“Executing our comprehensive marketing approach and international platform to expose the asset to the widest possible buyer pool, we generated 12 offers for the property and sold the asset for 96% of list price. We were able to attract a Miami buyer, who was performing a 1031 exchange from a land sale and negotiated a 45 day total the contract period. The cross-product type buyer appreciated the gentrification and resurgence of the submarket and we were able to prove the future value growth and upside of the area through the design of several proprietary analyses models which validated the price from a multitude of angles,” says Mr. Shiebler
