Stories from the owners and investors we represent.
Every deal is different. The throughline is preparation, honest valuations, and a process that treats your building like it actually matters.
"I couldn't be happier with the job my agent, David Messiah, did selling my rental property. There were many challenges during the sale due to strict rent control laws and regulations in the City of Los Angeles. Fortunately, David is extremely knowledgeable in this area. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, patient, and clearly very committed to getting the best possible outcome."
Tam Bui
SELLER · LOS ANGELES
"I was apprehensive helping my brother sell his inherited property long distance. David was very helpful and understood our situation with kindness and professionalism. He went above and beyond what the average realtor would do for us. Communication was excellent and he kept us informed all along in the process."
Carol D
SELLER · INHERITED PROPERTY
"David is the consummate professional. His expertise, negotiation skills, and steady patience were exactly what our clients needed to finally cross the finish line. Without him, I truly believe they'd still be searching for a home. He brought the focus, strategy, and guidance that made the difference."
Tom McMurray
LENDER PARTNER · BUYER REFERRAL
"David represented me on a multifamily deal in Santa Monica. I've known David for 3 years through his informative newsletters. He actually sourced the deal for me. From start to finish, David was professional, responsive, and reliable. His market knowledge was also incredibly helpful when it came to pricing and location."
