Client objective

What needed to happen

The owners wanted to sell a Cuyahoga Falls duplex while addressing the realities of a two-unit property and occupancy needs connected to one side of the building.

02

The challenge

What made it complex

Investment properties attract buyers who analyze condition, rents, expenses, financing, and occupancy. The transaction also required clear post-closing occupancy language so the accepted contract reflected the sellers’ practical needs.

03

The strategy

The plan and execution

  1. Marketed the property’s two-unit configuration and documented improvements to buyers and agents seeking income-producing real estate.
  2. Provided clear property details so owner-occupants and investors could evaluate the opportunity.
  3. Generated concentrated exposure and managed questions specific to financing and occupancy.
  4. Negotiated post-closing occupancy terms directly into the accepted agreement rather than leaving expectations informal.
