March 1, 2010 (Kansas City, Mo.) – Qualified buyers will have the opportunity to purchase income producing condo hotel units on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast this month. United Country – The Redfield Group is conducting live auctions to sell River Neuse Suites and Island Inn of Atlantic Beach on March 20 in Oriental, N.C., and Atlantic Beach, N.C.  

A condo hotel or condotell is made up of individually owned condominium units managed as a hotel.  All 30 units will be offered individually to individual buyers.

Conducted by Mike Fisher, auctioneer and chief executive officer of United Country – The Redfield Group, the first auction will take place onsite at River Neuse Suites, with 15 condos selling, at 201 Mildred Street, Oriental, N.C. Registration for the event will begin at 9 a.m., and the auction will take place at 10 a.m.

The second auction will take place at the Sheraton Inn Oceanfront Hotel, with 15 units selling, at 2717 W. Fort Macon Road, Atlantic Beach, N.C. Registration for the event will begin at 3 p.m., and the auction will take place at 4 p.m. Both properties are available for viewing March 13-20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Our seller recognizes the value of using an auction to sell his properties, but more importantly, it provides buyers the opportunity to purchase affordable investment property without overpaying in today’s market conditions,” said Fisher. “At an auction, sellers and buyers come to a meeting of the minds quickly with a competitively achieved fair market value. In times like these, an auction is the best way to establish what real market value is.”

River Neuse Suites is a 16-unit condo hotel located directly across the street from the Neuse River. Island Inn of Atlantic Beach is a 38-unit condo hotel located just a short walk from the public beach, surfboard and beachwear stores, and eating establishments. The fully furnished suites at both hotels feature granite countertop and stainless steel appliances. Just a short drive to major tourist attractions and public beaches, these properties have proven rental histories and future room reservations on the books.  Both properties have onsite rental offices and virtual resort manager (VRM) rental and bookkeeping systems which allow condo owners to track rental and income on their unit.

“These auctions present buyers the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Fisher. “Both of these condo hotels are located on the beautiful banks of North Carolina, offering guests spectacular water views and convenient access to tourist attractions and the beach. If you’re looking for an affordable income-producing investment, look no further than River Neuse Suites and Island Inn of Atlantic Beach!”

With fewer than 10 homes remaining, Soma Grand is almost sold out! Curious why? Read the full story that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle on February 14th: Click here to find out!

Soma Grand is fast-approaching to sell-out of its 246 homes.  However, unlike other San Francisco high rises with dwindling supply, the homes at Soma Grand continue to be a terrific value in comparison to alternatives— and value has been a critical part of the success in building the community over the past two years. For example, HOA dues at Soma Grand include details like twice-a-month housekeeping by the famed hospitality group, Joie de Vivre, in addition to covering other expenses which include a state-of -the art-gym and club room with a gourmet kitchen for private parties and events.

The remaining homes at Soma Grand feature stunning views, well-thought-out spaces, and more.  Buyers interested in an ideal location with close proximity to BART, the freeways, downtown and neighborhoods like SOMA, the Mission, and Hayes Valley will find Soma Grand to be the perfect address. 

With a very limited supply of similarly priced homes in the marketplace, savvy buyers will benefit from moving quickly—especially since experts are reaching consensus that rates will soon start to rise (a single point rise can add hundreds of dollars in monthly payments) AND the impending deadline for the $8,000 Federal tax credit (which expires on April 30th).  Serious buyers are highly encouraged to get in the market now!

Don’t wait to discover the best value in the market—schedule your appointment to see these homes, starting in the $500,000s, before it’s too late. Call 877-720-8989, visit in person at 1160 Mission Street in San Francisco, and check out our website: www.somagrand.com.

About Soma Grand

Residents have unparalleled access to, and views of, one of the world’s most beautiful cities from their exquisitely-designed homes. Services and hospitality are provided by one of California’s leading hotel groups, Joie de Vivre, ensuring quality and a committed attention to detail. After selling for just over a year, the building is over 90% sold out with many of the best homes being released for the first time.  Find out more about Soma Grand at www.SomaGrand.com.
