Commercial property portfolio from divorce - How to syndicate?

[Andrew Fielder]

I am a commercial appraiser  in southern california and we were asked to value a portfolio of 13 properties (all in california) on behalf of an elderly couple getting a divorce. 11 commercial and 2 residential. We had to turn down the work as most of the buildings are single tenant retail buildings aka not our bread and butter appraisals.

I believe there is an opportunity to syndicate this portfolio and possibly get a good deal given the age of the divorcing parties and given a bulk buy scenario.

Both are currently represented by attorneys...

What would be the best way to approach this?
