03 — Process

A four-stage brokerage cadence

Every transaction is conducted by a named broker, under a structured process that protects both seller diligence and buyer confidentiality.

  1. 01

    Intake & valuation

    We assess assignability, encumbrances, and comparable transfers to set a defensible price band.

  2. 02

    Discreet listing

    Listings are seeded to a curated buyer pool under NDA. Public detail is limited to class and headline.

  3. 03

    Negotiation

    The desk runs structured rounds — term sheet, redlines, and counter-redlines — with full audit log.

  4. 04

    Transfer & escrow

    Funds are escrowed, recordals are filed in each jurisdiction, and post-close monitoring runs for 12 months.
