Barry says the seller, a private, local investor, had owned the property for about 11 years and has a history of buying apartment buildings.
7255 Winnetka was the last apartment building the seller owned.
It made sense to sell it now because of the current seller’s market and he was able to "reach his desired purchase price, enter into a credit-tenant exchange and double his cash flow," according to Barry.

The 33-year-old property is two stories and includes a swimming pool, solar energy systems and large units.
Barry repped the seller and buyer in the off-market deal.
He says the buyer was attracted to the location and liked that the property was not subject to rent control and offered large units with patios and spacious balconies.
The buyer plans to remodel the units, increase rents and raise the overall value of the property, Barry says.
