Your representative knows what you’re looking for, but can they find it? Realtors may not cooperate. Sellers may not be willing to pay a fee. The result is that many deals are done in-house and many more are done privately, with only a small percentage of transacted multifamily properties ever gaining wider exposure at a given time.

Ontario Apartment Group’s Buyer Brokerage program changes the game. Using our vast proprietary database of Ontario apartment buildings, we identify a list of potentially suitable properties matching your own specific criteria. Searches can be refined by geographic location, style of building, number of suites, local area amenities, and more. Our industry knowledge and local market insights are then employed to identify the best candidates within the subgroup.

Upon selection of a target, your mandate through our Buyer Brokerage program then allows Derek to approach the owner of an unlisted property on your behalf with an expression of interest without asking them for a fee, or to work with a non-cooperating sales representative who would otherwise be unwilling to share information.

Simply put, our Buyer Brokerage program removes the obstacles and opens the options. If it is out there, we will find it.

In every disposition, our singular goal is to negotiate the best possible price and terms for our seller clients while simultaneously minimizing potential complications through attention to detail, seamless transaction management, and constant collaboration within the group.

We also believe in collaboration with the larger apartment brokerage industry, as simple economics dictates that higher values are achieved through greater exposure to the investment community, and research has shown that on average, apartment buildings sell for more money when exposed to the broader market.

Before going to market, the group works with the seller to perform detailed pre-sale due diligence. Areas of hidden value are identified, documentation is assembled, and a customized marketing plan is crafted according to the unique strengths of the asset and the goals of the client.

Once the sales plan is established, workflows are created and the entire Ontario Apartment Group is mobilized on your behalf. According to the principle of “maximum value through maximum exposure”, our marketing process is both wide and deep. Introductory marketing material is distributed to our vast database of building owners, managers, and buyers, as well as our associates within the broader commercial real estate community. A special focus is given to recently-active multifamily buyers and those whose holdings include assets in your area. Detailed information is made available to qualified buyers behind a security wall upon completion of a confidentiality agreement.

In the negotiation process, the same deep industry knowledge and market research by which asset value was established is brought to bear in defending it. Offers are evaluated not only according to price and terms, but also according to the strengths, goals, transparency, and past behavior of the buyer. Negotiations are focused on establishing financial and positional strength for our clients, and we routinely consult with our clients’ legal and tax advisors as we drive the form and content of the Agreement in the direction most advantageous to their goals. The dynamics and collaboration within Ontario Apartment Group allows for real time responsiveness throughout the sale, streamlining the process and minimizing complications during the buyer’s due diligence and moving the sale toward a successful close.

From underwriting to marketing to transaction management to final close, Ontario Apartment Group provides care and attention to every detail. We invite you to speak with us about your next transaction.
