The Challenge
The owner of 4901 York Rd, a 13-unit multifamily property on Baltimore’s east side, was an out-of-state investor unfamiliar with the local market. After putting substantial money into stabilizing the building, he found that the property still wasn’t operating at its full potential. Having already lost time and money with a buyer who backed out, his main concern was finding a serious, qualified buyer who could actually close—and finally move on from the property with his debt paid off.
The Action
Yaakov Kanevsky of Midfield Realty saw the opportunity others missed. He recognized the strength of the upgrades and the solid rents being achieved in the occupied units, and built a strategy around showcasing that momentum. Yaakov reached out to qualified buyers from both current and past relationships, focusing only on investors capable of closing without financing contingencies.
To build competitive attention, Midfield leveraged its full marketing network—over 10,000 LinkedIn followers, 6,500 on Facebook, and 2,500 on Instagram—alongside direct buyer calls, email campaigns, and commercial listing platforms like CoStar, Crexi, and MLS. Yaakov also guided the buyer through connections with local property-management groups, helping ensure the new owner would be positioned for success long after closing.
Result
The property went under contract with no contingencies, allowing for a quick and confident close. The seller successfully exited after years of reinvestment, and the buyer gained a Baltimore multifamily asset. Once again, Midfield Realty’s hands-on approach, market depth, and proactive communication turned a challenging situation into a win-win transaction for both sides.
“Working with Midfield Realty was a completely different experience from what I’d had before. Yaakov and his team were proactive from day one—they didn’t just list the property; they created momentum. Every step felt organized, thoughtful, and professional. They kept me updated, found qualified buyers quickly, and handled challenges before they became problems.
After dealing with a previous buyer who backed out, I was impressed by how Midfield’s strategy and persistence made this deal actually happen. Their market knowledge, communication, and attention to detail were top-notch. I’d absolutely work with them again.”
