Seller Reality

What Most Owners Get Wrong
When Selling.

Serious sellers do not usually lose value because they lacked interest. They lose value because the process was aimed at the wrong buyers or the wrong offer was chosen.

01

Pricing Off Comps Alone

Closed sales matter, but live buyer demand matters more. A comp does not tell you who will actually perform on your building today.

02

Taking the Highest Offer

The highest offer is not always the best offer. Structure, deposit strength, contingencies, and buyer history determine what actually closes.

03

Letting Everyone In

Too much exposure attracts noise. A controlled process keeps the focus on qualified buyers who understand the asset and can execute.

04

Underestimating Deal Risk

Financing, inspections, tenant disruption, and legal timing all affect outcome. Good sales processes are designed around those risks from day one.

Who We Sell To

We Already Know Who Will
Buy Your Building.

Before a property ever goes out, we know which buyer categories are most likely to compete, close, and pay up for the right configuration.

Local Operators

Active Brooklyn and Queens buyers already owning comparable buildings and adding to existing portfolios.

1031 Buyers

Time-sensitive exchange capital looking for replacement property with a clear path to contract and closing.

Owner-Users

Buyers looking to occupy part of the property while underwriting the remaining income correctly.

Developers

Buyers focused on small assemblages, vacant redevelopment plays, and buildings with future value beyond current use.

5 Unit Building Sale
SOLD
Williamsburg, Brooklyn

5-Unit Building Sale

150 Targeted Buyers7 Serious Bidders29 Days from Contract
Situation

The estate executor tried to sell the property with two different brokerages for three years, with deals continually falling through due to unreliable first-time buyers and inspection issues.

Strategy

We marketed the property to the 150 most active buyers in the immediate area. Within two weeks, the property was under a hard contract after a competitive bidding process among seven top professional buyers.

Result

Sold in 29 days from contract signing with zero repairs.

Mixed Use Astoria Building
SOLD
Astoria, Queens

Mixed-Use 3-Unit — Owner Ready to Retire

20 Bids40 DaysAs-Is Closing
Situation

The building had been in the family for over 40 years. The retail tenant had stopped paying and owed six months of rent. The owner wanted a private sale with no disruption to the residential tenants.

Strategy

We marketed the opportunity directly to the most active retail buyers in the market, finalizing the process with 20 bids in just 40 days. The buyer dealt with the eviction process for the retail tenant and bought the building as-is.

Result

Sold in 40 days with no tenant disruption. Proceeds were rolled into a cash-flowing 1031 exchange property.

4 Unit Building Bed-Stuy
SOLD
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

4-Unit Building Sale

10+ Violation Buyer Profile45 DaysDeveloper Sale
Situation

The owner inherited the property from his mother and had over 20 violations. The property also had one holdover tenant.

Strategy

We targeted buyers who had already purchased buildings with 10+ violations in the immediate area and could look past the current use to project future value.

Result

Sold in 45 days to a developer. The owner retained the proceeds and acquired a single net-leased asset that doubled current net income.

Sell a Mixed-Use Building

Mixed-Use Building Sales
in Brooklyn & Queens.

Mixed-use buildings require underwriting that accounts for both the residential income and the commercial component. This section focuses on how those assets are positioned and sold.

Mixed Use Building
Investor Demand for Mixed-Use Assets
Strong demandFree-market residential above retail
Premium pricingDual income stream commands premium
1031 exchangeHighly sought for exchange buyers
Developer interestGround floor conversion & air rights
Valuation Methods for Mixed-Use
Income approachNOI ÷ cap rate = value
Commercial lease analysisLease term, rent, use
Residential incomePro forma market rents
Development valueAir rights + zoning upside

What Makes Mixed-Use Buildings Complex — And Why It Matters

A mixed-use building has two distinct income streams, two sets of tenants, and two valuation frameworks. Generalist brokers often present only the residential value. We present both — and identify which buyer type will pay the highest price for the building’s specific configuration.

  • Complete retail lease analysis — term, rent, and tenant quality
  • If short-term leases exist, we analyze the pro forma retail and residential rent in the market
  • Air rights analysis — unused FAR is frequently significant
  • Ground floor conversion potential and zoning review
  • Positioned to retail-to-residential conversion buyers when applicable
In mixed-use sales, value comes from reaching the buyer who can underwrite both the current income and the upside.
