Exceeding Expectations With Empathy and Expertise

The Whyte Ridge Baptist Church needed to sell their building, but they required more help than just acquiring the best price and terms. Their conditions for their sale included finding a new owner that reserved the same integrity and values for their community and who would retain the lower-floor daycare tenants for a similar low rent. On top of these conditions, the church's location was right next to a gas station, meaning a possible hazard regarding environmental concerns and soil contamination on the property.

Ryan's job here was to be more than just a broker — he needed to be an educator and an activist, both educating the church board on why environmental consultants needed to be involved with a gas station next door and working as a spokesperson for the church to assist in finding the best possible match for the future building owners.

Ryan and his team worked with the environmental consultant to proactively avoid any potential environmental issues the gas station may have caused before listing the property.

After listing the Scurfield Boulevard property, interest picked up, and five offers came through, giving the church board some leverage on who the new building owners would be. The sale ended up being 25% higher than the appraised price, and all the church board's hopeful conditions were met and exceeded when they sold to a group of medical practitioners who agreed to maintain the daycare contract.

Not only did Ryan successfully get the highest price, negotiate the best terms, and exceed all hopes that the church board had, but he also saved the client 50% on real estate commission fees by being proficient and proactive with his ideas and execution.
