What is an Assignment Property?
Also known as an off-market listing or exclusive listing, an assignment is the sale of a unit that was purchased by a buyer (assignor) during the pre-construction phase of a development and sold to a new owner (assignee) before completion.
Here is an example of the process:
Step 1
John Doe finds a great pre-construction development and purchases a unit in the building. At this stage, John Doe is actually purchasing the rights to the unit via a purchase agreement, since the building is not completed.
Step 2
Before the building is completed and registered, John Doe has a change of heart. Perhaps he’s relocating or his family has grown since his initial purchase and he needs more space. Since the completion of a pre-construction development can take a few years, this is quite common.
Step 3
Due to the assignment clause in his purchase agreement, he is able to sell the contract for his unit. John Doe reaches out to The Zadegan Group for help — he knows they are the local experts in pre-construction and assignment sales, and trusts their expertise.
Step 4
The Zadegan Group takes on the sale of his contract, and with their established knowledge of the process and network of qualified buyers, are able to quickly find a buyer.
Step 5
The Zadegan Group guides both parties through a hassle-free sale; the buyer is excited to have purchased a unit in a building they originally missed out on, and John Doe has recouped his investment.

How Buyers Benefit
Buying an assignment property is a fantastic opportunity for buyers for many reasons:
Better Opportunities: Oftentimes, buyers miss their chance on a pre-construction project and have to wait years for a unit in the building to come on the market. With assignments, buyers can get into their dream building earlier, sometimes just a few months before occupancy.
Less Competition: Assignments are a lesser-known purchasing option, therefore, fewer buyers pursue them. Assignment buyers can usually avoid stressful multiple offer scenarios and leverage a seller’s need to sell quickly.
A Brand New Space: Assignment buyers reap the benefits of purchasing in a brand new building. If they purchase early on in the process, they can usually select their finishes and upgrades, depending on the builder and contract.
