Stage 1: Establish best price; create sales materials
A client’s property is thoroughly evaluated and current operating financials are carefully assessed. Comparable sales in a particular location are also identified. After a Listing Agreement is signed, the brokers create a marketing approach tailored to achieve the client’s specific objectives. During this stage, a sales package is created and then approved by the seller.
Stage 2: Aggressive sales & targeted marketing
The brokers begin to notify their network of buyers and the marketing process begins. This stage involves an aggressive sales campaign including property tours, targeted newspaper ads, and direct marketing activities. The client is always kept fully informed as the process proceeds.
Stage 3: Present offers; begin due diligence
After a thorough review of each offer, the one which best reflects the seller’s needs is selected and presented to the client. After a Purchase Agreement is signed, the due diligence period begins, which is a comprehensive analysis of the property required by the buyer and/or the lender.
Stage 4: Problem solving to successful closing
MBG helps facilitate the due diligence process, which may take a few days or a couple of weeks. When the analysis is concluded, the sale is complete and ready for closing.
