What Modal looks for
The signals behind the opportunity
Modal reads the ownership side of the record.
Ownership duration
Long holds often mean a low basis and an owner open to the conversation.
Private ownership
LLCs, families and partnerships, not institutions with a disposition team.
Property size
Buildings in the range you actually transact.
Occupancy
Vacancy or rollover that can change the hold-versus-sell math.
Owner portfolio
Single-asset owners versus groups holding multiple properties.
Owner location
Out-of-market owners who may be looking to simplify.

Outreach
Your Earth City industrial building
Hi Mark — I work with buyers focused on 150K–250K SF industrial in Earth City. Your building has been in the same hands for 14 years, and I'd value 15 minutes to share what comparable assets have traded for recently. Open to a short call?
Result
Owner agrees to a call about valuation and future plans for the building.
