New Automotive Dealership Location – 10 Years – $5,300,000.00

4325 Sonoma Blvd, Vallejo

 

Our Client wanted a larger space for his luxury brand used auto dealership.

At the same time, we were looking to secure new space for him, a local dealership with multiple big brands went bankrupt. We immediately secured a meeting with the receivership involved (which was not an easy task). During the meeting we were able to find out what brands were available and tried to get an idea of what they expected in Blue Sky payments. […]

Wine Country Vacation Home – $1,800.00 per night

5,105 SQ/FT – 5 Bed, 7-1/2 Bath

The Luxury end of the Vacation Home market no longer supports the Do-It-Yourselfers and the hobby end of the market. 

This is now a true business and it requires mastery of design and an in depth understanding of visual impact, marketing, knowing the end customer, and the ability to maintain and refine multiple marketing channels simultaneously.  This is what it takes just to get the Guests to book…

Wine Country Vacation Home – $2,500.00 per night

4,100+ SQ/FT – 5 Bed, 6-1/2 Bath

When creating and monetizing a luxury vacation home it helps to have a great location, in a high demand destination region. BUT, this doesn’t automatically lead to a full Guest schedule and an instant Return On Investment for you.

You need to have stunning visuals and sound marketing just to attract the appropriate Guest inquiries. Then, you need to be able to deliver upon the experience that you have promised. You are selling the “Better than a High End Hotel” experience to those with the financial means, that value their privacy and who do not want to share common amenities with random strangers.

Managing Partners

The Elite Partners Commercial powered by RE/MAX Gold was founded on the idea that the commercial real estate industry needed an overhaul. We were tired of seeing clients get pushed to the back burner by large firms that are more worried about getting listings than getting rid of their listings. With The Elite Partners, we make sure to put our client’s name before the name on our letterhead, and having us in your corner means having a team of dedicated individuals who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get the job done.

And we’re not here to just make big promises – our work speaks for itself. Our results driven approach ensures that you’re getting high quality service without sacrificing your time or money. That’s why we offer free, no-obligation property analyses and don’t force retainer fees on our clients. Our combination of research, analytics, top of the line innovative marketing and one-on-one customer service allows us to tailor our strategies to fit your needs, not the other way around. We pride ourselves on being strategic planners and asset managers, and strive to deliver the best return from all available investment options. Don’t believe us? Hear it straight from our clients or flip through our portfolio to see for yourself.

Long story short: we’ve worked with the big guys, and while we learned a lot from them, we don’t want to be like them. Don’t get lost in the corporate shuffle. Experience the ELITE difference.

With a combined 40+ years of real estate experience, I think you’ll find that we are up to the task. The Elite Partners epitomize integrity, energy, hard work, and service throughout each and every transaction they have. The Partners have been responsible for over $1 Billion in sales over the last 15 years and have ranked in the top ten worldwide within RE/MAX.
