Legacy Sales Process
Legacy's sales process generates successful results for a broad range of client needs, ranging from the sale of a few selected assets to an entire estate.
From day-one, Legacy works to understand client objectives and establish a plan to meet them. Price realized is just one element of a successful asset sale. Legacy sales plans also include definitive timelines and alternative disposition strategies for difficult to sell assets, removing the risk and uncertainy from the disposition.
Clients can expect total visibility into their sales. Legacy's online portal shows the status of each asset in real-time, and throughout the sales process, we communicate frequently and proactively about sale progress.
