The asset, what stood in the way, what the process produced, and the seller's own words where they gave them.
In their own words
Listen to what our clients have to say
It's exactly like you laid out that it would be.
Scott Sold two self-storage facilities in South Georgia This is where we need to be to sell it. And you were able to deliver that off market.

Client story
Roughly a hundred brokers called. They said no every time.
Scott and Duncan, who built and sold two self-storage facilities in South Georgia.
In their words
We didn't have a plan for what we were going to do with the money, and that's what stopped us cold in our tracks.
Scott Sold two self-storage facilities in South Georgia Scott and Duncan met when Duncan, then a commercial banker, financed a mobile home park for Scott. Vacant land at that park led Scott to self-storage, and they opened their first facility in January 2004. Over about twenty years they built two facilities in South Georgia, the best product in their market.
Roughly a hundred brokers called them, peaking when cap rates fell. They said no every time. Price was not the reason. They had no plan for the proceeds, no appetite for a perpetual 1031 loop, and no interest in fractional ownership of something they had never seen.
Cameron had taken one of those calls years earlier and given them a valuation. When a serious offer arrived, they called him back, and he drove up from Tampa the next day. Oakside laid out the full path and put the team in front of them before they committed.
In their words
We didn't want to be thrown into a mill with three thousand other properties that are for sale. We felt like our situation was somewhat unique and we wanted somebody to work with us that recognized that.
Scott Cameron, you came across as the most professional and open and honest to us of all the folks we talked to.
Duncan It's exactly like you laid out that it would be.
Scott If it weren't for the continuum of value that Oakside offered, with respect to not only optimizing the sale but optimizing also the asset to which the resources go, we might not have sold at all.
