What Made the D'Avila Woods Apartments Sale Successful?
Just Sold! We are excited to announce the successful closing of the D'Avila Woods Apartments, a unique multifamily investment property in El Sobrante. Nestled in the charming community of El Sobrante, this exceptional property is situated on a massive 3.91-acre lot and offers a highly desirable configuration of 44 split-level townhouse-style units that were built to condo specifications in 1987. The new owners have plans for interior unit renovations as turnovers occur and adding exterior amenities and among other curb appeal improvements. They may also add accessory dwelling units by converting garages into units. Our process: We helped the sellers stabilize the property during the marketing process, which included completing approximately fourteen unit turnovers, new lease-ups, and numerous improvements. We also facilitated and coordinated the replacement of seven 15-foot exterior staircases. Our results: The property sold for over $1M more than from off-market offers received from other brokers in 2023 before we were hired to sell the property. The owners executed a 1031 exchange, investing the sale proceeds into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), which provides them with a more diversified and totally passive investment.
