On December 5, 2025, 3017 Edenborn Avenue in Metairie, Louisiana, sold after a complex transaction that required persistence, creative problem-solving, and a willingness to keep looking for solutions.
The approximately 12,000-square-foot property, formerly home to The Educator, an educational supply store, is now home to Finnish Strong Academy.
The Challenge
After owning the property for years, Greg faced a challenging market and a series of obstacles that made selling the property anything but straightforward.
Several factors complicated the transaction:
- Buyers struggled to secure financing.
- Interest rates increased.
- Zoning approvals fell through.
- Leasing efforts stalled.
Rather than walking away from the transaction, Property One broker David da Cunha continued looking for solutions while staying focused on the seller’s goal.
The Strategy
David adjusted the strategy as each obstacle arose. He:
- Introduced bond-for-deed financing to help overcome traditional lending challenges.
- Maintained relationships with prospective buyers throughout the process.
- Re-engaged a buyer who had previously expressed interest in the property.
- Worked through zoning and inspection issues to keep the transaction moving forward.
The process required patience, persistence, and creative problem-solving.
The Result
The property ultimately sold, allowing Greg to successfully complete the sale. The 12,000-square-foot property is now home to Finnish Strong Academy.
A successful sale. A determined seller. A transaction that required persistence and creative problem-solving.
Pictured at closing are Greg and Kelsey, who were both thrilled with the outcome.
