Background

This value-add twelve unit property is located in a PRIME WeHo pocked, located 1 block South of Santa Monica Blvd (between Fairfax Ave and La Cienega Blvd). After owning the property for nearly three decades and hassled by property management issues, the Seller brought KST onto the listing to get the job done.

Challenge

Despite being located in a super-walkable neighborhood and offering significant financial upside, potential investors felt the price was steep due to low rents, length of tenancy for a majority of the units and the amount of deferred maintenance. 

Result

Given the feedback, Kenny knew he was looking for a “needle-in-a-haystack” 1031 exchange buyer looking for a value-add project in a ‘Grade-A’ location. Two days before Christmas, an outside agent had a 1031 exchange client that needed to close by the end of the year. They submitted an all-cash non-contingent offer shortly after touring the property, and escrow closed 2 weeks later at $3,500,000. Ultimately, the Seller was relieved to finally get the deal closed, having minimal success before bringing on KST’s multifamily expertise.

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.

“It was truly a pleasure working with Kenny. He is professional, honest, hardworking and most importantly did what he said he would. Kenny sold the property at list price in less than 60 days from start to finish.”
