San Diego multifamily brokerage

A duplex or apartment building needs a different conversation from a primary residence. We help San Diego County owners and investors review the income, property condition and transaction strategy together.

Buying: define the investment before the search

Start with your budget, target unit count, financing plan and tolerance for renovation or management work. We can then review current listings and discuss off-market opportunities when available. An opportunity still needs careful analysis; an off-market label alone does not make it a good investment.

  • Compare the rent roll with leases and actual collections.
  • Review operating expenses, vacancy and planned capital costs.
  • Test financing assumptions and cash flow with qualified lending professionals.

Selling: make the property understandable

Buyers need a clear picture of the building and its operations. We help organize the sale around property information, pricing, buyer outreach and transaction coordination. Separate documented current performance from assumptions about future rents or improvements.

  • Gather leases, income and expense records, and a current rent roll.
  • Identify deferred maintenance, completed work and available permits.
  • Discuss showings, resident access and the information buyers need for diligence.

Construction knowledge adds another lens

Rory and Connor’s construction engineering background helps frame questions about condition, renovation and potential changes to a property. Feasibility still depends on the site, approvals and qualified specialists. We distinguish a possibility worth investigating from an entitlement or an approved construction plan.

  • Review the scope and cost of proposed improvements.
  • Identify questions for inspectors, contractors and design professionals.
  • Discuss a potential exchange with your tax adviser and qualified intermediary before a sale.

Questions before you begin

Do you work with smaller multifamily properties?

Yes. Our multifamily services include duplexes and other income-producing properties, as well as apartment-building opportunities. We begin with the property and your investment objectives.

Can you guarantee off-market inventory or a return?

No. Availability changes, and income, expenses, financing and property condition affect each investment. Review the evidence and assumptions for the specific property before making a decision.

Talk through your property

Start with the facts, then choose a plan

Share the property address, your timing and the decision you are considering. We can identify the information needed for the next conversation.
