This sale marks the fourth closing in just over a month for Nutt, continuing the steady market velocity from the end of 2010.  Nutt remarked, “While there was a slight ‘hangover’ effect from a busy December, the buyers are eager to wrap up the first quarter with strong numbers.  If you have a property occupied by a quality tenant or located on strong real estate, there is considerable demand for those assets.”
