ABOUT THE DEAL

HOW WE DID IT

At a price point below $2M, it made sense to put the property on MLS. We had many inquiries from other agents with their buyers. Several interested parties came from Surrey and Abbotsford. An email was sent to our multifamily network, the property was promoted on social media, and a broadcast to all British Columbia commercial real estate brokers was employed.

WHAT WE LEARNED

Sharing third party market reports builds confidence with buyers. If something comes from a brokerage only, it’s seen as biased. Instead, we relied on several other publications and economic studies to prove our points. All our marketing materials come with citations and/or links to source documents. It worked. The out-of-town buyers were confident in their decisions and closed the deal.
