Interested in 800 N 8th Street?
For over 20 years, I have sold real estate in Japantown; in fact, I have lived and owned in the 800 N 8th Street building. My first sale as a Realtor was my own home! I have represented both buyers and sellers in the building, and I know it inside and out.
Don't go with an out-of-area Realtor; you need a local expert who has lived in the area and someone whose connections run deep!
