Allison MacKenzie, Ltd.

Utilizing Allison MacKenzie, Ltd.'s expertise in zoning laws, we sought assistance in facilitating a commercial real estate transaction. Specifically, we were looking to sell a property to a buyer interested in establishing a bank on the premises. However, uncertainties arose regarding the property’s suitability for the buyer’s needs. Through their guidance, we ensured that the property met the necessary requirements for the intended use. Additionally, the team conducted a thorough appraisal of the property by analyzing the costs of similar properties in the vicinity. Our negotiations culminated in a cash deal worth $1.6 million, contingent upon the buyer’s ability to utilize the space for a financial institution.

Allison MacKenzie, Ltd.'s deep connections within the real estate industry proved to be invaluable, as they were able to leverage their network to facilitate the transaction effectively. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring compliance with zoning regulations were commendable, ultimately leading to the property being suitable for a wide range of purposes. The team’s efforts resulted in obtaining a notarized letter from the City Planning Commission, affirming the property’s versatility and making it more attractive to potential buyers.

One area for improvement could be providing a more transparent breakdown of billing throughout the engagement process. We found that receiving the bill only at the end of the transaction was somewhat challenging, and the pricing exceeded our initial expectations. However, the quality of service provided by Allison MacKenzie, Ltd. justified the cost, making it a worthwhile investment in the long run.
