Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, has sold the Quality Estates Value-Add Portfolio, a portfolio of eight properties with 2,048 multifamily units located throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“The portfolio gives the new owner tremendous first-generation repositioning upside,” said Will Balthrope, IPA executive director. “Constructed between 1977 and 1985 and held by a single owner for an average of 28 years, the properties have been well-maintained by long-term in-house management and have little to no deferred maintenance.”

Balthrope, Drew Kile and Joey Tumminello of IPA and Al Silva and Ford Braly of Marcus & Millichap represented the seller, a private investor based in Canada, and procured the buyer, Texas-based Exponential Property Group.

“Current market rents are significantly lower than the competition, and 95 percent of the units are prime for value-add repositioning,” Kile said. The properties are:
