Not every great deal starts with a public listing – sometimes, it begins with a quiet tip from the right person. That’s exactly how March Companion Laurens Vermeulen learned that an attractive property on Monnikenwerve in Bruges was about to come on the market: a 500 m² warehouse with 200 m² of office space, set on a 2,853 m² plot, just 500 metres from the A11 motorway. After an initial conversation with the owner, Laurens received the green light to proceed with the sale.
From day one, the property was marketed with precision and reach. Laurens launched a multi-channel campaign: on-site signage, targeted exposure via Immoweb and social media, and proactive outreach through March’s in-house tools. This generated a steady stream of visits from a diverse pool of potential buyers, several of whom moved quickly to submit offers.
Among the interested parties was Maenhout, a specialist in industrial mat cleaning and scent solution installations. The warehouse’s 15-metre clear span, natural daylight from skylights and roof domes, and three large automatic sectional doors were an ideal match for their operational needs. Following a site visit, they submitted an offer close to the asking price.
“It was rewarding to see how one initial tip from my network evolved into a perfect match between seller and buyer.” — Laurens Vermeulen, March Senior Companion
With a serious offer on the table, Laurens arranged a constructive meeting between seller and buyer. The discussions were smooth, with both sides aligned on expectations. The result: an agreement at the full asking price. A prime example of how March’s market knowledge, network, and proactive approach consistently deliver successful outcomes.
