“This was a tremendous opportunity,” said John E. Brigel, senior vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office. “In more than 20 years in the business, I’ve rarely seen an asset with such exceptional historical and current operating metrics. Bobby Diaz, the builder and operator, developed an outstanding property and management team that excelled across the board. The buyer, from Tennessee, had previously purchased a nearby property through me and recognized the unique quality of this asset. He acted quickly, paying the full list price of $182,500 per unit—a record-setting figure for South Georgia.” 

Brigel exclusively marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Bobby Diaz, builder and operator of Diaz Construction, LLC, and procured the buyer from Tennessee. John Leonard is Marcus & Millichap’s broker of record in Georgia.
