Property Sales

The decision to sell a property involves several factors such as; the estimation of fair market value, the analysis of the utility of the structure, the highest and best use for the land (if unimproved) and most importantly the time for effective sales marketing. The auction process for real estate sales touts the ability to sell your real estate in one hour! That one hour may be 60 days away and the price secured may be 70% of the fair market value. A real estate auction is not providing a valuable client service.

Watson & Watson assists individuals and companies in analyzing their real property values and acts as their agent to secure the highest possible price in the shortest length of time. Some property sales transactions are structured in an “exchange manner” (IRS code section 1031) to delay the recognition of capital gains on a profitable sale of real estate.

Watson & Watson works closely with attorneys and accountants in handling property sales for estate settlement purposes.
