Background
The sellers had owned and lived at the property for over 30 years. The property had been listed with a well-known apartment brokerage house for 6 months and generated very few offers and opened no escrows. Tired of ownership headaches, the owners were ready to trade into a NNN asset.
Challenge
When the owners contacted Kenny, he took over the listing at the same price. Kenny Stevens Team used a multi-pronged marketing campaign to identify interested buyers. After 3 weeks, the successful campaign generated multiple offers at or near the asking price. Within 30 days of the listing, we were in escrow and non- contingent.
Result
After their horrible experience with the previous agent, the sellers were thrilled to see the results that Kenny could provide in such a short time and accepted an above asking offer. They are now in escrow on a NNN asset which will increase their cash flow and have no management responsibilities.
