Broad vs. Limited Marketing

We have the capabilities to market your property as broadly or as secretly as you would like. We generally believe that broad marketing is the best way to achieve the highest price for a property. We also believe that there is a high likelihood that the buyer for your property will be a local investor.

Limited Method

We understand that some owners do not wish to list a property on the open market. If this is your preference, we will work to generate an offer from our existing buyer relationships. It’s completely up to you if you want us to share the property information with one buyer or one hundred. Upon request, we will gladly insist that any potential buyer execute a Confidentiality Agreement prior to viewing any financial information related to a property.

Broad Method

Whether you are interested in marketing your property to the entire Bay Area or the entire country, we have the capabilities to fit your needs.

Local marketing entails ensuring that every possible Bay Area buyer is aware that your property is available for sale. Through our website, direct mail, local print advertising, the local brokerage community, and local industry marketing websites, we maximize your property’s exposure.

Our team members maintain relationships with national institutional and private investors, as well as real estate investment trusts and insurance companies. We are members of premium services that specialize in distribution of information to targeted buyers of retail investments on a national level.

Broker Cooperation

We believe that working together with other brokerages is beneficial to maximize exposure and number of offers. We maintain close relationships with other brokerages in our industry, and we encourage cooperation within the industry.
