Background
Featuring a front duplex and back structure built in 1987 (6 units subject only to AB1482), the subject property was a prime value-add investment property in East Hollywood. Despite a number of large-scale developments and signs of change over the last several years, the Seller was tired of property management headaches and wanted to capitalize on a surging multifamily market fueled by low interest rates.
Result
After one week of being listed, Max identified an outside agent who represented a 1031 exchange client; and submitted an offer $200,000 over the asking price. Despite economic uncertainty, escrow closed in 45 days at $4,000,000. Safe to say, our Seller is thrilled with the speed and outcome of the sale, cashing out 90 days after signing the listing agreement and walking away with extra cash in his wallet. Closing at $500,000 per unit, the sale of 1758 N. Kingsley ranks in the top 3 transactions on PPU in East Hollywood over the past several years.
