Featured Project
Sometimes, Burr & Temkin has the privilege of providing both lease and sale support to a single client. In 2017, a private investment group and Burr & Temkin client for nearly 3 decades contacted our team to sell their LA metro distribution facility. We had initially represented the owners in the lease negotiations on this property and were very familiar with the market and property as a whole. The owners’ goal, like many owners’, was to make a high return on their investment in the shortest time.
To produce top results, the selling team of Jim Kemmerer, Gabe Temkin, Mark Gibbs, and Andrew Gibbs combined to develop a marketing and negotiation strategy. Their ultimate plan involved exposing the property through a range of media outlets, hosting multiple property showings, and hosting multiple offering and negotiation rounds.
The brokers’ strategy paid off as the property ultimately went through a series of offering rounds, producing an initial batch of 20 written offers. After further negotiations, Burr & Temkin received offers from 8, highly qualified buys who competitively bid the final sale price to a record breaking $300,000 “per door” price with an imputed <4% cap rate. Our team’s extensive market and product knowledge, coupled with their excellent marketing and negotiation skills, resulted in this record-breaking sale.
