Newton, MA Todd Glaskin and Gregg Leppo of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT have completed the sale of The Chestnut Hill, a 28-unit multifamily building at 219 Commonwealth Ave., located 1/4 mile to the entrance to Boston College. The property sold for $9.2 million.

Coldwell Banker is thrilled with the process, their first experience with marketing through Real Capital Markets which allowed them to reach out to thousands of local, national and international buyers, having communications with over 1,300 buyers and well over 100 qualified showings leading to multiple competitive offers.

The 2017 market in the area continues to gain strength - through their unique process of spending time with buyers to identify their most desired assets, they are able to often match ideal buyers with new properties that come available.
