Background

Located adjacent to Los Feliz (just south of Franklin Ave), 1801 N. Harvard featured solid in-place financials and is located near several neighborhood hubs filled with large corporate employers, a city college and an array of independent businesses. The property’s beneficiaries, who inherited the property on a stepped-up basis, contacted KST to save on their capital gains tax.

Challenge

Despite the property’s well-maintained condition and solid current financials, many investors began experiencing cold feet and adopted a “wait and see” approach.

Result

Although most investors remained on the sidelines, KST generated five offers within one month of receiving the listing. Despite several interest rate hikes, we identified a savvy multifamily investor unfazed by the outside noise and closed at $2,085,000. Our seller were thrilled we could get the job done for a second time in 2023, having sold a 10-unit building in Santa Monica for them in early February.

Speaking for myself and everyone involved, you were absolutely the best broker we could have selected to market our portfolio. You found an incredible buyer and were able to guide us through so many challenges, including a global pandemic, and secured us a price beyond our expectations.
