Success Stories

SUCCESS STORY:
Pool of partnership interests in
commercial real estate – Nationwide
The trustee sought us to market and sell 45 separate partnership interests throughout the US. Braun MIMX created a structured sale platform in conjunction with a global, bespoke marketing campaign. The equitable, transparent bidding process found market value for each one of the interests. Court confirmation was part of the disclosure process. The net result: we found market value for each of the interests and generated substantial income for the estate where sale price expectations were low.

SUCCESS STORY:
Chevron gas station, convenience store
and retail center – California
The trustee of this rather complicated and multi-purpose property was focused on overcoming legal, partnership, ownership issues, and used us to create a global, bespoke marketing campaign to generate exposure and interest with both the expected buyer pool and non-traditional gas station/c-store buyers. With court confirmation approving the sale, Braun obtained the stalking horse buyer who understood the diverse nature of this property. The property sold for the highest price for this type of asset in the market.

SUCCESS STORY:
The historic Brandon Plantation – Virginia
Wells Fargo Trust Company and their co-trustee entrusted the Braun team with selling this historic, 4,500 acre plantation; one of the oldest in the United States, with two U.S. Senators as former owners. The clients chose to use our Worldbid auction platform in conjunction with our global, bespoke marketing campaign to create urgency and global interest. The results? The estate was shown to nearly 200 qualified bidders, 6 qualified offers were received, and the estate was sold.

SUCCESS STORY:
2 Jaguar/Volvo dealerships – Wisconsin
The trustee of this estate, who owned both commercial properties with a very specific type of use, engaged Braun to seek out a broad pool of buyers whose vision would possibly turn this property into an alternative use. Both properties had been on the market for over a year; in less than 60 days, Braun sourced qualified buyers to purchase the properties in as-is condition, and sold them for market value.

SUCCESS STORY:
18-unit apartment complex – California
With fighting beneficiaries, we minimized the fiduciary’s risk & liability by providing all relatives, owners and the public the opportunity to purchase this property in a fair, equitable and transparent process. Due to our marketing, over 600 parties reviewed the due diligence package and over 300 parties inspected the property. The property was purchased in as-is condition with no contingencies and the court-confirmed sale was approved within weeks.

SUCCESS STORY:
Napa vineyard estate
41-This 5-acre vintner estate is located in one of the most desirable wine-related real estate markets in the world, and features a producing vineyard designed and managed by a respected master. After a year on the market with no success, the trustee & beneficiary tasked Braun to globally market & auction the estate with court confirmation. In approximately 8 weeks, multiple bids were received, and a buyer was sourced from China.

SUCCESS STORY:
41-home portfolio – California
With a brother and sister fighting, and many of the properties in very poor condition, selling quickly and obtaining market value were paramount. All parties agreed to engage our Worldbid auction platform and global, bespoke marketing campaign. A live auction with over 800 bidders in attendance resulted in all 41 homes being purchased individually in as-is condition. The net result: where sale price expectations were low, we found market value for each of the interests and generated substantial income for the estate.

SUCCESS STORY:
Prestigious San Francisco estate home
The fiduciary & trustee engaged Braun to sell one of the most exclusive estates in the most historic & prestigious area of San Francisco. This circa 1925 estate was marketed globally and in less than two weeks, nearly a dozen offers were obtained. Because of the demand we created, second and third rounds of offers were conducted. The property sold for 32% higher than the listing price, and higher than any previous appraisal.
