How to be a dual agent for a multi-party, complex commercial property transaction_Hayward, CA_Tim Vi Tran_Episode 13, Season 1

The Ivy Group recently completed a complex, multi-party, dual agency sale in Hayward, California, involving a multi-tenant retail / office property and an adjacent vacant parcel.  The deal required managing high expectations and reaching consensus among five owners of the same property on the seller’s side, two decision makers on the buyer’s side, fair and ethical dual agency representation of both the buyer and the sellers, and coordinating across more than 20 stakeholders — all while resolving decades old environmental contamination issues and building internal teamwork at the Ivy Group.

This Hayward sale was a masterclass in dual agency, managing expectations, and high-level teamwork. Through meticulous communication, role clarity, and problem-solving, the Ivy Group kept everyone informed and on board, bringing the buyer and sellers together across a complex landscape of legal, financial, and emotional considerations — proving once again that expertise, trust, integrity, teamwork, and patience are essential in commercial real estate.
