From purchase to profitable resale

Objective
Buy at an attractive point in the market, improve the property, and realize the gain on resale.
Challenge
This was a full-cycle investment decision. Acquisition price, improvements, ownership timing and eventual resale all had to work together.
Asher's role
Represented the clients through both the purchase and the later sale
What Asher did
Asher helped the clients purchase during a market dip, advised them throughout ownership and the resale process, and managed the eventual sale, which attracted multiple offers without contingencies.
Result
Sold for $1,665,000. The clients nearly reached the maximum home-sale gain exclusion available to them, subject to their tax adviser's determination.

I worked with Asher to purchase a condominium at 2000 Ellis. He guided me through the purchase, managed the property for two years, and later handled the entire sale while I was out of state. We received four offers, all above asking. I was extremely satisfied with his service and highly recommend him.
