Sam and his team provided a detailed valuation and market analysis to position the property competitively. To maximize exposure, they executed a multi-channel marketing strategy, leveraging direct outreach, paid advertising, and high-visibility exposure on commercial real estate platforms. Additionally, recognizing the impact of rising interest rates on buyer confidence, the team worked closely with prospective purchasers to highlight the stability of the tenant mix and future development potential.

Market Insights

Testimonial

"After decades of proudly owning 3012 Edgemont Boulevard, I decided to sell my commercial property. Sam Emam provided us with all relevant and recent market data and a proposal that included his custom marketing program. During the sale process, the real estate market changed drastically due to an increase in interest rates, which put pressure on property values. Sam and his team remained laser-focused on getting the property sold by aggressively marketing the asset in a changing environment. He also helped us lease an empty portion of our property, which increased our net income and generated more buyer interest. After nine months of hard work, Sam and his team successfully closed the deal. We thank him and highly recommend him to other commercial building owners, as he demonstrated professionalism and dedication throughout our sale."

— Rose Young, Former Owner of 3012 Edgemont Boulevard, North Vancouver
