Property Overview
I represented the Seller of a prominent Walmart Outlot located at 545 Conestoga Pkwy, Shepherdsville, KY 40165. The property was part of a larger development with several restrictions imposed by Walmart and the original developer, which included business uses, building types, and parking regulations.
Client Background
My client was a lender headquartered in Puerto Rico. They had recently foreclosed on the developer who owned the property and sought to sell it based on a 2021 appraisal.
Strategic Insights
Upon reviewing the appraisal, I realized the proposed listing price was well below the current 2023 market value. I convinced the lender to adjust the pricing strategy, nearly doubling the original listing price based on my market analysis.
Challenges Encountered
This transaction had several complexities, including:
- Navigating the development’s restrictions on usage, structures, and parking.
- Filtering through offers to ensure compliance with these criteria.
- Convincing the lender to trust my market analysis and adjust the pricing strategy.
Negotiation & Outcome
Once listed, the property quickly generated interest and attracted multiple offers. After reviewing development documents and evaluating buyers, we selected a strong offer that aligned with the development’s requirements. The property ultimately closed at a price well above the lender’s initial expectations.
