listing
description
Northern Lights Apartments — a 25-unit apartment building in Dawson Creek — sold for $1.9 million in a transaction that exemplifies what an experienced independent broker can deliver. I represented the seller exclusively and sourced the buyer directly through my own network. There was no buyers’ agent. Every step of this deal — from initial introduction to final closing — was handled personally, with full adherence to professional standards, agency obligations, and the Real Estate Services Act.
The buyer was unrepresented, but not unsupported. I qualified them, facilitated due diligence, wrote and negotiated the offer, and guided both parties all the way through a smooth and successful close. This is a key advantage I bring as a solo broker: I can directly match serious buyers with listings, reduce friction, and get results — all without compromising professional integrity.
investment
thesis
A well-located, income-producing rental building with a proven track record, reliable tenancy, and stable operating profile in a resource-driven growth market.
policy
context
Zoned RM-1, the site supports low-rise multifamily housing and aligns with Dawson Creek’s housing policy goals. Located steps from Northern Lights College and near transit and services, the asset is well-positioned for long-term occupancy and rental stability.
buyer
appeal
This was a rare opportunity to acquire a building held by the same owner for over 30 years. Professionally managed, well-maintained, and fully tenanted, the building offered immediate cash flow with minimal operational complexity.
For an out-of-town investor, the presence of a live-in manager added further confidence. The buyer was sourced directly through my network and supported through every stage of the transaction with clear communication, structured guidance, and respect for agency boundaries — a clean, well-executed deal from start to finish.
