RFP – Real Estate Brokerage Services for Osceola Elementary School Property Sale

The School District of Osceola is requesting proposals for real estate brokerage services to support the potential sale of Osceola Elementary School property at 250 10th Avenue, Osceola, Wisconsin, with proposals due July 9, 2026 at 4:30 p.m.

The property comprises approximately 14.87 acres (two parcels of 9.67 and 5.2 acres) and a 72,560-square-foot school building currently zoned Public Institution but designated to transition to R-3 Multifamily Residential District or Planned Unit Development. The selected broker will provide property valuation, market analysis, marketing and advertising, property showings coordination, offer review and negotiations, title company coordination, closing facilitation, and regular reporting to the School Board. The District prioritizes responsible stewardship of public assets, transparent communication, positive community redevelopment opportunities, and the potential return of the property to local tax rolls where feasible.

Proposing firms must hold Wisconsin broker licensing credentials and provide proof of insurance availability. Proposals must include firm information and credentials, a description of proposed services with marketing approach and sales strategy, project approach with preliminary valuation recommendations, a proposed commission structure with any additional costs, and at least three references from similar projects. The District will evaluate proposals based on relevant experience, understanding of public-sector processes, marketing strategy quality, proposed fees, communication responsiveness, experience with redevelopment and community-centered projects, and ability to support the District's goals and timeline. The District prioritizes brokers with experience in public-sector property transactions, redevelopment opportunities, and community-focused projects.

The District anticipates reviewing proposals July 9–13, conducting possible interviews July 14–15, and presenting the matter for Board consideration on August 12, 2026. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, request additional information, negotiate terms with selected firms, and modify or discontinue the process at any time, and further reserves the right to negotiate commission amounts and listing contract terms prior to execution.
