Selling a Vacant Lot While Preserving What Matters Most

Property Snapshot

The Seller's Challenge

For over two decades, the seller owned a vacant lot next to his two-family home. While the land had increased significantly in value, it wasn’t something he planned to sell lightly.

The lot served a practical purpose - parking, but it also carried emotional weight. Years earlier, the seller had promised his grandfather that one day he would build a family home on that land.

Selling the lot outright meant:

As a result, the property sat unused despite its growing value.

How Leverage Homes Structured the Solution

Rather than forcing a standard sale, Leverage Homes built a custom plan around what mattered most to the seller.

Behind-the-Scenes Coordination

Executing this plan required careful coordination. By managing these details upfront, Leverage Homes prevented issues that could have surfaced years later, especially important given the seller would continue living next door.

A Human Moment

At the heart of this deal was a promise made years earlier. To honor that promise, the final agreement included a memorial plaque on the future home built on the lot, recognizing the seller’s grandfather and the legacy tied to the property.

"That detail turned uncertainty into clarity and brought the transaction across the finish line."
