- 964 E. Jefferson Boulevard
The sale of 964 E. Jefferson Boulevard marked Max’s ninth South LA closing in a 15-month period, reflecting consistent execution in a submarket where transactions often hinge on timing, clarity, and local buyer acces
Background
964 E. Jefferson Boulevard is located on an approximately 8,950 square foot corner lot zoned C2, positioned roughly two miles east of the University of Southern California. The site includes a single-story structure totaling approximately 2,109 square feet, which at the time of sale was occupied by a church tenant expected to vacate.
According to a development potential report prepared by BrickWork, the property could support up to 11 units by right under existing zoning. The same analysis indicated potential to develop up to 35 units by utilizing Transit Oriented Communities Tier 1 incentives, subject to buyer verification, entitlement requirements, and applicable approvals.
The seller was navigating a personal emergency and anticipated the departure of the sole tenant. Seeking a straightforward exit, she connected with a Compass residential agent, who referred the opportunity to Max for commercial representation. The priority was to secure a clean sale that allowed the seller to move forward quickly and redirect proceeds toward charitable giving.
Result
Despite several complexities, including deferred maintenance, language barriers, and buyer questions surrounding development feasibility, Max was able to generate multiple offers during the marketing period. Careful communication and expectation-setting allowed the seller to evaluate options without unnecessary disruption.
The property ultimately closed in approximately 60 days at a purchase price of $950,000. The transaction represented Max’s ninth completed sale in South Los Angeles over a 15-month span, underscoring the value of local market familiarity, direct buyer access, and disciplined execution when navigating sales with layered personal and development considerations.
