hen engaged to sell property,
DeLaVergne & Company first determines our client's motivation
for selling. Sellers fall into one of two distinct categories -
those who must sell (for a variety of reasons) and those who
desire, but do not have to sell. Making this determination is
vital for the successful disposition of any commercial real
estate as it is the fundamental premise upon which we base our
marketing strategy.
Although the sales price of a property is determined by the cash
inflows and outflows (it has or is expected to have), discounted
at an appropriate interest rate that can be reasonably expected
to occur during the remaining life of the property, we have
found from experience that most buyers purchase real estate on
some increment of emotion. For this reason, we spend
considerable time and effort in completely understanding the
characteristics of the property being sold. By doing such a
careful and detailed analysis, we can project a profile of the
most probable buyer. With this in-depth knowledge of both the
property and most likely type of buyer, we sell our clients'
real estate assets for the highest price in the shortest
possible time. This non-conventional approach to selling real
property has the added advantage of conserving both marketing
time and expense.
At DeLaVergne & Company, we realize that our clients are people
who spend the majority of their time managing their businesses -
not buying and selling real estate. We are also keenly aware of
the confidence our clients place in us when they choose our firm
to handle their property dispositions.
