Al Silva has successfully closed nearly 15,000 units and over $600 million in investment sales transactions and in doing so has averaged an industry leading 99.6% closed sales price to asking price ratio. Al is currently based out of the Marcus & Millichap Fort Worth office, where he has been the top agent in seven out of nine years since the office opened in 2007.  You think it’s tough to be awarded a deal by the seller… Al comments on how difficult it is even for a listing agent to win the opportunity to list a property for the seller. Al believes that overall transactional volume will be down 10% in 2017 compared to 2016. He sees that as a blip on the road, when you compare how hot the apartment market has been for the last few years. Al has seen a large increase of international buyers coming into the Dallas/ Fort Worth market. Al comments on what submarkets he likes in the DFW area. If you are a buyer, Al has advice on how you should bid on a property transaction on the tangibles and some of the intangibles needed to win.  To get in contact with Al Silva: al.silva@marcusmillichap.com  To receive our FREE 15 page WHITE PAPER REPORT on the 2017 FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTIFAMILY FINANCING 101 and to learn more about upcoming events at Old Capital Speaker Series please visit us at OldCapitalPodcast.com Are you interested in learning more about how Multifamily Syndications work?
