Challenge – The sellers were navigating their first commercial real estate sale. They also did not speak English which required every discussion and document to be translated through a family member. One of the sellers was a foreign resident which meant the deal involved FIRPTA compliance. This created layers of legal and financial complexity.
Action – We focused on creating a clear, supportive process for the sellers. Every step of the closing process was explained and translated to ensure full understanding. We spent additional time aligning expectations, reviewing terms thoroughly, and addressing FIRPTA requirements so there were no surprises later.
Result – Despite these challenges, the property successfully closed at premium pricing meeting the sellers’ financial goals.
Testimony – “James always kept us informed with next steps even with the language barrier. He helped connect us with vendors. He made it feel like he was always there for us.” – Lorena L
