Step 2: Presentation of value and market demand – Here we’ll present your property-specific asset valuation and share information about the market demand as it relates to your property type and location. With this information, you’ll feel confident in your property valuation and pricing strategy.

Step 3: Listing and marketing your real estate asset – As your trusted partner, you’ll sign the listing agreement, and our marketing and investment sales team will get to work marketing your investment property. To learn more about our highly competitive process, please see question “How do you market a property for sale?” below.
