Background

Sitting across from the Heritage Square Gold Line station, this 25-unit mixed-use portfolio sits on approx. 51,000+ SF of land and features approx. 60% upside in rents. Despite the long-term promise, the Seller considered these properties an outlier in his portfolio and contacted Max to cash out.

Challenge

Despite the significant financial upside and neighborhood revitalization, the property’s unique unit mix, low rents for most units and a “laundry list” of deferred maintenance would shrink the buyer pool. Max had to manage the Seller’s expectations while looking for a value-add investor capable of taking on a major mixed-use project.

Result

Thirty days after signing the listing, Max identified a well-qualified buyer. Escrow opened in Nov. 2021, and despite multiple obstacles during the due diligence period, closed at $5,270,000. The Seller was thrilled to cash out on his portfolio outlier, and the Buyer is eager to explore multiple mixed-use ideas in this developing Northeast LA neighborhood.

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.
