Deal Qualifiers


  • Condo Conversion: Property that was purchased with intent of converting individual units to condominium ownership.
  • Date: The date of a transaction is recorded as the actual closing date (if known), or approximated as the earliest report of the closing.
  • Status date: (in Advanced Property Trade Searches) The date a transaction changed from offered to in contract, or from in contract to closed.
  • Leasehold: Lessee obtains the right to use and control a property for a specified time period in exchange for lease payments.
  • Redevelop/reposition: Property that was purchased with intent of adding value through redevelopment.
  • Single Tenant: Property that was fully occupied by a single user.
  • Vacant: Property that was not occupied at time of sale.
  • Forward sales: a buyer makes an agreement with a developer to purchase a property today that is to be completed in the near future. The buyer typically pays most or all the money now and it goes to completing the project.
  • Fee Simple: Legal type of ownership where the person or entity has full ownership in the property. RCA assumes all transactions are fee simple unless otherwise specified.
  • Merger: The combining of two or more entities into one, through a purchase acquisition or a pooling of interests.
  • Privatization: The repurchasing of all of a company's outstanding stock by employees or a private investor. As a result of such an initiative, the company stops being publicly traded. Sometimes, the company might have to take on significant debt to finance the change in ownership structure.
