VANCOUVER, WA – Sperry Van Ness International, one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate brokerage franchisors in the nation, announced that Becky Potter (middle right photo), senior advisor for Sperry Van Ness® / Bluestone & Hockley, was awarded “Transaction of the Year” by CCIM.
The award was given for her extraordinary efforts in leasing the Riverview Bank Building (top left photo) located at the intersection of Highway 99 and 78th Street in Vancouver, Wash.
The 8,000-square-foot office building was leased to Grace Ministries/Exchange Church, a non-profit church organization, for a 60-month term valued at $504,000. The tenant has the option to purchase the building for $1.3 million within the first 36 months.
“One of the main challenges of this transaction was the neighborhood, which is plagued by economic stress with many dark shopping centers and a high crime rate. Another obstacle was that Clark County recently took away street access from building in addition to part of the land,” said Potter, who represented the undisclosed landlord in the transaction.
“It took a considerable amount of patience and perseverance over the course of several years, but in the end the landlord was extremely pleased with the new tenant, which is now benefitting the region through drug and alcohol recovery outreach in partnership with the City and County.”
Each year CCIM Institute selects a single transaction for the “Transaction of the Year” award. The lease or sale must have occurred in the Portland metro area, which includes the four counties of Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington and Clark. The criteria for the award is based on the creativity, skill, professionalism, integrity and perseverance brought to the transaction by the broker involved. Commission and transaction size is not a factor in the decision-making process.
