“Lawrence, a suburb of Boston, has seen tremendous growth due to its year-over-year population increase. The investment poured into Lawrence over the last ten years has resulted in rising rents. This SRO (single room occupancy) property provides the market with a low-cost housing option. These properties are historically more management intensive than typical apartment buildings; the prior owners had no systems in place for this level of property management. They reached out to me to see if I could help them sell the property before the end of the year. We delivered the sellers a clean offer with no contingencies and closed on the property within three weeks of our initial marketing. Through our process and network of buyers, we were able to execute this sale before the end of the year. We expect to continue to be the top trusted advisors for sellers of apartment buildings throughout New England,”said Carlson.
