The Asset Others Already Want

Desire is never solitary. The market is already bidding this category up.

  • The AuctionWon in a competitive luxury auction, Sept 2024, at $10.7M — a contested trade, not a quiet listing.
  • The ComparablesEstates within 1.6 miles trading $11.8M–$18.2M. The market for this address is active and rising.
  • The ExitRenovated specifically to bring the estate to market at a premium — a believed $25–30M sale into a rising comp set.
  • The AppraiserIndependent as-is opinion of $17.5M — third-party validation of what the others are chasing.

An auction win. A rising comp set. A finished estate brought to a market bidding the category up. The right capital does not evaluate this asset — it recognizes the exit.

IV

The Strength

The collateral is real. The balance sheet is real. The contractor is verified.

01 — Leverage
63% LTV

$11.0M against a current JPMorgan-ordered as-is appraisal of $17.5M, effective October 2025.

02 — Balance Sheet
~$50M Equity

Eleven-property portfolio — roughly $86M in value against $36M of debt across the sponsor's holdings.

03 — Execution
Verified GC

Bothof Brothers — 30+ years, sixteen comparable Rancho Santa Fe and coastal estate projects on record.

04 — Commitment
~$9.9M In

Sponsor capital already deployed into the renovation against ~$13.7M invoiced. Real skin in the game.

The One Crack

A matured note and a $2.7M spread.

The Platinum note at 16% matured five weeks ago. The request contemplates $1.5M to finish — the ledger shows $4.2M in open trade balances. That spread is the item a family office prices first. Presented by us, it is leverage. Discovered by them, it is a decline. Disclosure closes deals.
