Turning Challenges into Closings – A Highland Pacific Success Story
When the sale of an industrial building in the San Gabriel Valley stalled due to deferred maintenance issues, Highland Pacific stepped in to turn the deal around. The property faced repeated roadblocks during buyer inspections, including a failed escrow due to costly concerns:
- Roof and parking lot required full replacement
- Property appeared neglected, deterring buyers
- Repair cost estimates varied widely, threatening the sale price and timeline

Highland Pacific was great. I stayed up to speed on all the projects, which allowed me to effectively manage my buyer and seller. The savings generated by their bidding and negotiating process more than covered their fee and they executed everything on time and paid referral fees quickly. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother process.” — Matt Mazur, Senior Managing Director, Arbor Realty Capital Advisors, Inc.
