8-Unit Apartment Building in Venice

This 8-unit apartment complex in Venice Beach located at 52-60 Market Street half a block from the world-famous boardwalk, skatepark, and sandy beach. There are twelve tandem parking spaces onsite and the soft story retrofit was completed in 2018.

When the Seller passed away last year, the beneficiaries hired a Trustor to help them dispose of the estate’s assets. We met with the Trustor and presented ambitious pricing, but knowing the local market intimately, we felt confident. We received offers from 8 Buyers, some even above our aggressive asking price. To tease out the best Buyer, we issued a call for best and final, and were surprised when the Trustor and Beneficiaries were most interested in a lower priced non-contingent offer. The Sellers placed a higher value on surety of close over pricing. Armed with this new information we went back to all the potential Buyers and gave them an opportunity to submit their best and final non-contingent offer. The Sellers reviewed all the offers received and chose the best non-contingent offer. We opened escrow immediately and closed in 15 days.

Sometimes a sale isn’t only about the highest price. In this case, having confidence in the closing and not lingering in escrow was what the client wanted most of all. Eve Capital places the highest importance on supporting the goals of our clients in every instance.

14 Unit Apartment Complex in Inglewood

Eve Capital knows the Inglewood neighborhood well, and was contracted to sell a 14-Unit apartment complex located on a lovely block in a prime location. 428-432 Regent Street presents beautifully, as the property is lined with palm trees, filled with mature landscaping, and consists of a mix of bungalow-style apartments, a 4 bedroom house, and a multi-unit building on two parcels of land. Fifteen parking spaces are part of the property, and there is abundant street parking nearby.

Underlying challenges came with the property, however, as it included a non-conforming unit, and a tenant in arrears. There was substantial deferred maintenance, including foundations and roofs in need of repair. Not to be deterred, the team at Eve Capital knew exactly how to highlight the incredible opportunities of this investment property, while communicating openly about its challenges.

We broadly marketed this unique property to a lengthy list of investors, and generated immediate interest, despite its current condition. We also called upon our list of aggressive Buyers in order to drum up interest among those whom we knew would appreciate this type of investment.

It was important to choose a Buyer who would perform according to contract. While in escrow we continued to market and field backup offers until all contingencies were removed. We were also able to negotiate Seller carried financing terms that benefitted all parties.

Eve Capital adeptly represented both the Seller and the Buyer in this transaction.

Eve Capital understands the uniqueness of every commercial property, and has the expertise to communicate that vision with integrity and enthusiasm to potential buyers and investors.

This is not just a triplex! Relative to surrounding traditional buildings, Eve Capital priced 12000 Washington Place higher per unit and per square foot than anything else in the neighborhood because of its special qualities. We immediately recognized the unique aspects of this property as benefits, not obstacles, and were able to successfully find multiple Buyers who also saw its value.

We were able to go under contract quickly with an owner-user who had been looking for this exact type of asset for years.

The property was sold to an out of state Buyer who was traveling internationally during the entire escrow process. We adeptly navigated the time difference with the Buyer’s attorney on the east coast and the Buyer in South Korea. Like many out of state Buyers, this property was purchased sight unseen and the Buyer relied heavily on our team to manage the inspections and negotiate with the existing tenants including Family Dollar and Crown Castle, the roof top telecom lessee. The Seller was a small syndicated group and we were charged with working intimately with all parties towards a successful close.

By utilizing our creative solutions strategies and leveraging our valuable relationships, we were able to help our Seller net a purchase price that was both above asking price, and had a short close of Escrow.
