Property Disposition Services: The Bay Area Neighborhood SHOcase, Oakland, California
As a high cost market the Bay Area is affected differently by the impact of foreclosures, the ability to dispose of real estate to working families at an affordable price is more challenging. In an effort to stimulate the housing market, the City of Oakland and a Bay Area Coalition worked with APD Solutions (APDS) to implement a Neighborhood SHOcase strategy. The SHOcase offers a buyer-friendly environment for any family regardless of their credit challenges or where they are on their path to homeownership. Participants are able to speak with lenders, real estate professionals, and housing counseling agencies to ensure they're ready to become homeowners and actually purchase a select group of affordable homes made available at a discount for one day only. The SHOcase was organized by a public-private coalition consisting of 13 local and national organizations with properties assembled for sale at special discounts from various sellers. The unique ingredient of the APDS SHOcase is the assembling of all stakeholders who influence the targeted community’s foreclosure and development needs. This has producedproven success because it is mutually beneficial, trusted, and sustainable.
