FOUR PROPERTIES, ONE STRATEGIC EXIT

PORTLAND & BEAVERTON PORTFOLIO

CLIENT GOAL
The seller, a long-time owner of smaller multifamily assets, was ready to consolidate and scale up. Their goal: liquidate four non-contiguous, independently operated duplex and fourplex properties and leverage the proceeds into a larger, more manageable property via a 1031 exchange. They needed guidance not just in selling, but in sequencing the process precisely to protect their tax position and hit the narrow exchange window.

CHALLENGE
Unlike a traditional portfolio sale, these four properties were unrelated in location, condition, and buyer profile—spread between Beaverton and Portland’s southeast and northeast corridors. Each required its own marketing campaign, underwriting strategy, and buyer outreach. The true challenge, however, was orchestrating all four sales to close in rapid succession—ensuring that the seller could roll the full proceeds into their upleg without violating exchange deadlines. This level of execution demanded precise timing, deep market reach, and hands-on transactional management across multiple escrow teams, inspectors, lenders, and buyers.

ACTION
The Christensen Group took a phased yet synchronized approach. Each property was marketed and negotiated independently to maximize price and fit, while backend timelines were reverse-engineered from the seller’s 1031 upleg target. Our team coordinated multiple listings, showings, repair negotiations, buyer financing processes, and closing schedules—carefully adjusting along the way to account for shifting timelines and contingencies. We remained in close communication with the seller’s accommodator and legal team to preserve exchange eligibility at every step.

RESULT
All four properties sold successfully—three in Portland and one in Beaverton—for a combined total of $2,450,000. The seller met their equity goals and completed a seamless exchange into a larger asset. This complex transaction is a prime example of the Christensen Group’s ability to convert fragmented, small-scale holdings into powerful, portfolio-level outcomes—backed by tactical precision, transaction fluency, and a clear understanding of the broader investment picture.
