We will go to battle for you.
They say that history tends to repeat itself. After years of delivering extraordinary, market-beating results selling investment properties, development sites and owner-user buildings across the Southland, we invite you to benefit from the likelihood of repeated success. We’ve set land price per-square-foot records across from the Staples Center. We’ve sold multiple high-rise office towers. We’ve sold blown-out, vacant buildings that are now, respectively, the Freehand, Proper and Hoxton Hotels in Downtown LA. We once sold an art studio to Danny DeVito. We sold a live/work building to Skrillex. And we even brokered a historic, million-square-foot former department store re-envisioned as a creative office and hotel hub. The point is, from multi-market mom ‘n pop apartments to institutional-grade core assets, our transaction history is second to none and we want to put all that know-how to work for you.
Paramount to those accomplishments has been our ability to see things not as they are, but as they may become. We find joy in re-imagining underutilized properties and giving them new life through new ownership, new ideas and new, more intentional execution. We spent years doing just that across the legendary streets of Los Angeles and played a leading role in the renaissance of its urban core. Through that process, we worked closely with—and learned under the tutelage of—some of the sharpest investors and developers that North America has to offer. Today, we apply those same skills to the built environment around us. We still connect buyers with sellers. We connect wants with needs. We connect dots, and we do so utilizing a massive rolodex of executionally capable purchasers, along with an impressive network of the most active brokers in Southern California.
But how does all that help you? In partnering with us, we become a friend and trusted advisor to your ownership and stand ready to facilitate whatever service-line you need. Wondering what your property may be worth in today’s environment? We’d love to render a pricing opinion. Looking to maximize asset value? Let’s accelerate its revitalization and market vitality through strategic consulting. Need a good architect? We got you. Need an appraiser? We know a guy. Curious about financing options, single family home sales, property management or possible GC candidates? Put our contacts to the test. And last but certainly not least, if you want to acquire or dispose of real estate, transaction services are our first love and unquestionable forté.
We know how to market property like nobody’s business. E-blasts. Flyers. Mailers. Online listing services, etc. We nail those basics. But what truly separates us from the pack is our supreme attention to detail; it's the sizzle of our storytelling, the amplification of our messaging, the breadth of our buyer pool and efficacy of our experience. We are masters at the “art of placemaking” and know how to illuminate the full measure of a property’s potential in the wanting eyes of prospective bidders, often allowing us to significantly boost pricing through a competitive bid process. But it only takes one. And whether we’re dealing with multiple offers or a one-off buyer, we understand the psychology of dealmaking better than anyone and will leverage that skillset to your advantage and, ultimately, a successful close.
In life, and in battle, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Let us help you aim. Whether our target is an openly listed, highly competitive property or a truly off-market deal, we love helping our clients navigate even the most complex buy-side transactions to a positive outcome [“kaboom,” in Battleship speak]. We are expert negotiators and will skillfully position your interests in any aggressive multi-bid situations, while at the same time trusting our own instincts against sometimes inflated competition and imaginary, overly-aspirational pricing. We also love sourcing special opportunities for clients who know exactly what they want and have the financial wherewithal to acquire it. Give us your parameters, and we will do everything in our power to guide you to a direct hit.
EXPANSION. ALWAYS. IN ALL WAYS.
