What Arlington owners can expect

We start by understanding your goals and timing, then look at the rent roll, expenses and condition. From there we'll share an honest view of your options — including whether a private sale or a traditional listing fits better.

How multifamily valuation works

Most buyers start with net operating income (NOI): rent and other income collected, minus operating costs such as taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and management. They divide NOI by a capitalization rate that reflects the market and the property's risk. For example, $100,000 of NOI at a 7.5% cap rate suggests a value around $1.33 million. Recent comparable sales, condition and upside then refine the number.

What buyers look at

  • Rent roll and lease terms
  • Operating expenses
  • Deferred maintenance
  • Unit mix
  • Proximity to employment and transit
  • Existing debt

Private sale vs. listing

Private (off-market) sale

No public marketing, fewer showings, tenants undisturbed, flexible timing and terms. Less buyer exposure.

Broker listing

Wider exposure to buyers and competitive offers. Public marketing, more showings, commissions and a longer process.

Neither is right for everyone. We'll tell you honestly which we think fits your goals.

Common reasons owners sell

  • • Retirement or wanting less day-to-day management
  • • Partnership or family ownership changes
  • • An inherited property
  • • Deferred maintenance or rising costs
  • • Freeing up capital for another investment
