Who does Carson Doak help?

Carson Doak helps apartment building owners who are deciding what to do next with a property of 10 to 200 units. Some are planning for retirement or settling an estate, and some have inherited a building they never planned to manage. Others want to defer taxes through a 1031 exchange, exit a partnership or fund, or sell ahead of a loan maturity or a major capital project. He works with private and family owners, high-net-worth investors, family offices, investment funds, and syndicators, with buildings of every age and condition.

How does Carson Doak work with owners who aren’t ready to sell?

Carson and his team at Kidder Mathews build relationships with owners well before a sale. He is glad to talk with an owner at any stage. Those conversations cover how the building is performing, what the current market looks like, and what options the owner has. Carson stays in touch as the market changes, so the owner has someone to call when the time comes.

Why choose Carson Doak to sell my apartment building?

Carson evaluates each building through its income, expenses, and numbers. He is in tune with the current market and uses data and trends to guide clients to the best possible outcome. He talks owners through every option, whether that is selling now, waiting, or exchanging into another property, and gives a straight answer on what the market will bear. Carson’s approach is built on long-term relationships with owners, not one-time transactions.

How much is my apartment building worth?

Carson Doak starts with the numbers. An apartment building is worth what investors will pay for its net operating income, so he works through the rents, vacancy, and operating expenses, then checks the result against recent sales of similar buildings in the Portland–Vancouver metro and Southwest Washington. Condition, age, rent upside, and the financing available to buyers can all move the price. Owners who want a read on their building can send Carson their numbers and talk it through with him and his team at Kidder Mathews.

How does selling an apartment building work with Carson Doak?

A sale with Carson and the Kidder Mathews multifamily team moves in five steps. First is pricing and strategy: Carson reviews the financials with the owner, sets a price range, and plans around the owner’s tax and cash goals. Second is marketing: the team prepares the offering materials and puts the property in front of qualified buyers. Third is offers: Carson helps the owner compare price, terms, and buyer strength, and the team negotiates the purchase agreement. Fourth is due diligence: the buyer inspects the property and checks leases and financials while Carson keeps the deal on schedule. Fifth is closing: the team coordinates with escrow, title, and the lender through delivery of proceeds.
