Problems solved

North Miami Owner to confirm facts and client permission

Bridging a price gap with terms instead of a lower number

Challenge: The buyer wanted the site but did not want to tie up all of its capital at once. The seller was focused on price.
Strategy: Keep the price the seller needed and change the terms: a meaningful down payment, interest-only seller financing, and a short balloon.
Solution: The seller received a proposal that protected the headline price, while the buyer preserved liquidity. Every deal is an ecosystem.
