A tenant had already been found, willing to pay <strong>several million forints a month<\/strong>, but the owner was also open to selling if the right offer came along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the other property, a commercial lease worth several million forints a year had just expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We prepared both offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the two completely unrelated sellers needed to <strong>accept them at practically the same time<\/strong>, we invited both of them to our office for the same appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two separate rooms.<br>Two colleagues.<br>Doors open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And me running back and forth between the two rooms, trying to make sure the signatures happened virtually simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We simply couldn\u2019t risk one seller accepting while the other refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because then our buyer would have wanted <strong>neither property.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were almost there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pens ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Documents on the tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then one of the sellers suddenly asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>And what happens if the tenant exercises the right of first refusal in the lease agreement?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THE WHAAAAAT????<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until that moment, I had never heard a single word about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sales colleague had somehow forgotten to note this \u201ctiny\u201d detail in the listing agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And had also completely forgotten to mention it to me \u2014 the person responsible for closing the transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SIGNING STOPPED.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spent the following week trying to do two things at once:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">while finding out whether the tenant of the other property intended to exercise their right of first refusal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">while finding out whether the tenant of the other property intended to <strong>exercise their right of first refusal.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if they did\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>how I could persuade them otherwise with the least possible collateral damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I found a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Both sales went through successfully.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our buyer got both properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sellers sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we successfully closed the <strong>HUF 800 million transaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, I could probably offer some profound professional wisdom about how, in a complex real estate transaction, every tiny piece of information matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there is another memory from that day that has proved far more enduring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>That was the day the walls of my office \u2014 and my \u201cforgetful\u201d colleague \u2014 discovered the particular glass-shattering pitch of my scream that nobody had ever heard from me before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not once in 58 years.<\/strong> \ud83d\ude07<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes real estate is surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And we love it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:44px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p
