How To Sell
1. Negotiate Price
Using a revenue-based valuation, we are able to negotiate a price that works for both the Seller and the Residents.
2. Sign Purchase & Sale Agreement
After settling on a price, we execute an assignable, commercial Purchase and Sale agreement between the Seller and the Northwest Cooperative Development Center of which ROC Northwest is a program.
3. Offer PSA to residents
With PSA in hand, we call a meeting of the residents where they discuss the purchase, consider the costs and benefits, form a legal corporation, and ultimately decide whether to take assignment of the PSA.
4. Due Diligence & Financing
The ROC Northwest team works with the new corporation to ensure a clear title, appraise the property, conduct a property condition report, and secure funding commitments.
5. Close
Residents approve financing, sign closing documents, and have the organizational structures in place to hit the ground running on day one after closing.
