David Messiah is a multifamily investment advisor and Senior Associate with Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate, based in El Segundo, CA. He works with long-time multifamily property owners across the Westside, South Bay, and Greater Los Angeles markets to determine whether selling makes sense for their specific situation and long-term financial goals.
His advisory work covers pricing, timing, return-on-equity analysis, 1031 exchange opportunities, and alternative investment strategies — the questions that come up when owners start thinking about their next move.
Before becoming a broker, David spent eight years in property management, working directly with property owners and tenants across Los Angeles. That background, combined with his involvement in personal multifamily transactions, gives him a practical view of ownership from both the owner’s and the broker’s side.
Sometimes the conversation ends with a sale. Often it ends with a clearer reason to hold. Either way, the decision is made with real numbers instead of guesswork.
