We initially listed our apartment building with a residential agent. After several months without any offers, we decided to find a broker that specialized in apartment sales. Funny enough, the residential agent that we fired was the one that suggested Han Widjaja Chen to us. After meeting with Han and signing an exclusive listing with him, he asked us to have the previous broker remove all listings from any website postings to clean our slate. Han also let us know of his experience owning and managing his own apartment portfolio which provided assurance we were in good hands. Weeks after listing the property with Han, several prospective buyers walked through the buildings and units, and shortly after we received multiple all-cash offers from those buyers. Before accepting any of these offers, Han brought another one on the table that was even higher than our asking price. After consulting with him, this was the offer we accepted. In the end, the buyer closed the transaction successfully. Looking back after the process of selling this apartment, we realize it is not as easy as selling a single-family house. Broker selection is crucial, and we found this out the hard way with our property sitting on the market for several months without any results from the previous broker. All of us are happy that Han’s team helped us to successfully sell this apartment. We absolutely will work with Han in the future for any apartment/commercial sales as we think that his team is one of the best in the industry.
