No One Wants to Buy Your Property

To 99.999% of buyers in the market, your property is a pass. They simply aren’t even interested enough to notice it’s for sale. To that remaining .001% your price is too high, except for that single buyer willing to pay the price, clear due diligence, and follow through on closing the deal.

When searching for a buyer, it can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. It’s even worse when a seller’s price expectations are above what a buyer is willing to pay. This has been the situation over the past 2 years in both commercial & residential. Most buyers aren’t willing to pay record high pricing, leaving us in a declining transaction volume situation.

That’s just how the market works. How many buyers were willing to pay more than $16M for our shopping center in Las Vegas? Only one. Thank God they cleared DD and closed. Money is in the bank & already re-invested.

How many buyers are willing to buy that freshly renovated house flip you have for sale? Well, in that Covid era of low rates, you might get threatened by many offers, but only one can actually close.

Now, in this more normalized market, I can tell you from the 235 deals closed this year, most deals went to closing with a single offer from a single buyer. Many Miracles. Thank God for every single buyer on every single one of those deals.

Most buyers pass on most deals because the PROPERTY is NOT a fit for them.

Buyer needs a house with 2 bathrooms, and yours has 1, it’s a pass.
Buyer buys shopping centers and you have a warehouse, it’s a pass.
Buyer wants more land than your .25 acre lot, it’s a pass.

Diamond Equity is a Market Maker

Our company, Diamond Equity, does not operate a “buy box” the way most buyers are constrained by. We are MARKET MAKERS. We will review any piece of real estate in the U.S. and MAKE AN OFFER. We don’t discriminate, we buy MANY properties which almost everyone would rather not own.

Diamond Equity IS that .001%, that willing buyer, for nearly any asset. Sure, there are some lots, buildings, & locations which are simply economically unviable for some reason, but 99% of the property that crosses our desk will get fully underwritten for an offer & closing. I know of no other buyer in the U.S. (and I know quite a few) who is willing to engage in such broad asset class targeting & ownership.

400+ Problem Properties this year, undesirable for some reason:

We bought them.

2 Bedroom house in a flood zone? We bought it
60,000 sq. ft. shopping center 60% vacant? We bought it
Undeveloped 1/2 acre land in a low income area? We bought it
30k Sq. Ft. Landlocked Warehouse? We bought it

I will not waste your Sunday with the endless list of 235 property examples bought this year. Instead, if you have a deal you want to exit, I invite you to email me the details.

PLEASE NOTE: We are VALUE ADD buyers. Any deal we make, we MUST be able to increase the value by adding value. Renovations, upzoning, entitlements, permitting, leasing at market rates are a few examples of value we expect to add. We may not be the highest “offer” you can extract, but what’s important is actually going to closing & collecting your proceeds! (not going under contract & re-negotiated before closing)
