Background
Unsparingly renovated to the studs in 2017 and located one-mile from The Grove, this Fairfax District turnkey triplex is located in a 'Grade-A' rental market that is consistently sought-after by high-income young professionals. The triplex had been previously listed with another multifamily team and received minimal activity and no offers. Frustrated with his previous experience, the Seller turned to Kenny Stevens Team to get the job done.
Challenge
After entering escrow, the appraisal came in $300,000 under the contract price. Kenny and Max quickly identified a backup buyer in under a week and were back in escrow. However, during the second escrow, Kenny and Max discovered Ellis Act language on the title report making it impossible for the buyer to find a lender.
Result
Despite the obstacles, max and Kenny identified a third buyer who was comfortable with the due diligence challenges and submitted an all-cash non-contingent offer AT A HIGHER PRICE. Escrow opened in early December and closed 30 days later at $3,200,000. 401 N. Vista sold for over $1,000,000 per unit, making it the highest rent-controlled triplex sale in 90036 over the last 4 years.
