Parties
“The Oaklins team was very organized, technically knowledgeable and experienced. They took care of a lot of challenges that had to be addressed, including COVID-19, and made the transaction progress smoothly. When we were dealing with the buyer the sale price kept changing, but the team was able to adapt to the changes and we were able to settle on a final price and terms with which we are all very happy.”
