Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal for The Wellfleet Colony. Selling your property can be an exciting time, but we appreciate that it can also be both stressful and emotional. My job is to make it easier for you from start to finish, and I have the experience and expertise to do just that. What I'd like for you to remember is simply this: Together, we will succeed.
At Gibson Sotheby?s International Realty, we have everything in place to deliver like no one else. We?ll work with you as a true partner and guide you through each step of your selling journey. This brief presentation will show a comprehensive plan to sell your property, including a thorough market analysis and pricing strategy, a presentation of your property, and the mobilization of our resources and partnerships to reach the right audience of buyers.
Thank you once again for your consideration. We would be honored to represent you.
Sincerely,
Eva ScottAt Gibson Sotheby?s International Realty, we understand that each property and seller is unique, so we offer you an exclusive tailor-made strategy. We execute that strategy by combining our vast experience, innovative technology, and unmatched global reach to attract the attention of the most qualified buyers around the world
Your property's distinctiveness, from the charming cottages with its Mid-Century Bauhaus style to its prime location overlooking Wellfleet Harbor, presents an unparalleled opportunity in the real estate market The proximity to the Chequessett Country Club further enhances its appeal, not only for investors but for someone who will want to keep it as a cottage colony. This uniqueness and the prime location of the property make it challenging to find similar properties. I searched for commercial sales in the past three years with no good comparable (except for 150 State Highway currently on the market). Due to this, I feel it is more accurate to use condominium sales in close proximity. Kendrik Ave, Seashells, and your own sale at The Colony to establish a price range for the property.
- 150 State Highway in Eastham
- It consists of seven cottages on Collins Cove, they have water views plus a private dock. These cottages, like yours, are not winterized. The property also needs an updated septic system. The listing price for this property is $3,995,000. It has been on and off the market for a total of 396 days. The original list price in 2022 was $4,999,000. It was then dropped to $4,500,000 and now is listed at $3,995,000.
- 70 Main Street in Wellfleet
- Wagner at Duck Creek (previously The Duck Creek Inn and Tavern) a 27 room inn, 100 seat restaurant including bar, a total of 4 buildings. This property sold for $3,145,000. COM
- 260 Kendrick Avenue | Sold 6/ 22
-
- 575
- 441Sq.
- Waterview & Beach
- 100 Hiawatha Road | Sold 12/ 22
- 624
Benefit: Hopefully a quick sale with not a lot of effort on your part. You could hold a first mortgage with a substantial down payment, earn interest, and most likely have less tax implications (check with your accountant). Septic installation could fall on the buyer.
Downside: You may not have input on the rules and regulations for the condominium association. Less return.
Questions:
1. What would the Engineering cost be $10,000?$20,000? Depending on the system and how many systems will be required by the town.
2. Cost of septic systems installation $25,000?$35,000 per system?
3. How many wells service the cottages?
4. Will any well need to be moved when new Title V systems are installed?
5. Cost of installing new wells?
6 Attorney Fees?
It is hard to determine what the costs will be for the various items needed, my estimates are based on numbers I?ve seen for other properties through the years, they are rough and in a wide range due to the many unknowns. Once we have an approved engineering plan in place we will have a more accurate cost estimate.
Market value April 2024 for seven cottages including the office $450?$500K per cottage SOLD AS IS I suggest a list price of $2.9?$3.5M.
The second option would be for you to take on the condo conversion. This will take some time but with the right team on board, I believe it should run smoothly.
Benefit: Ultimately a higher return on your investment. You will have more control. Due to its Classic Mid Century design, its location, and my knowledge of the Wellfleet buyers the condos will be extremely attractive and should sell quickly. You could still hold oneor a few mortgages. You will have a larger buyer pool.
Downside: There will be more work involved. Your upfront cost will be higher. You will be responsible for septic installation and it may take longer to sell all seven.
Questions:
1. The major question here is how long will it realistically take to finalize the condo conversion?
2. Attorney fees for conversion and condo doc preparation?
3. Can we start marketing the condos as soon as we have town approval and before the condo docs are ready?
4. Other questions remain the same as in scenario 1.
Sold as individual condominiums I would estimate in today?s market value April 2024 between $650?$750K per unit, $4.5?5.2 million.
We live here too. So weknow the neighborhood, schools, and shops from the insideout to sell potential buyers on the value of the area. Better yet, we know and understand the people that make up this community.
Together we?ll follow a proven path to success.
