Multifamily, 5+ units.
Walk-ups, small apartment buildings, and portfolios. Valued from the rent roll and trailing twelve, with realistic expense loads. The buildings institutional brokers ignore are exactly where mispricing lives.
Commercial & multifamily
Bigger assets. Same discipline.
Multifamily buildings, mixed‑use, and land across the DMV. Underwritten in‑house from the actual numbers, then moved quietly to qualified buyers or listed for full exposure. Your call, made with real math.
What I work on
Small and mid‑size assets, taken seriously.
Mixed-use and storefronts.
Retail below, units above, and the valuation puzzle that combination creates. Lease terms, tenant quality, and residential upside underwritten as one asset, not two guesses.
Land and development sites.
Infill lots, teardowns, and assemblage opportunities. Value driven by zoning and what can actually be built, priced with development cost reality instead of hope.
Tired-landlord exits.
Tenant-occupied buildings with deferred maintenance and complicated stories are welcome here. Quiet disposition, leases honored, and a closing that does not require you to fix a decade of projects first.
Selling an asset
Quiet disposition, real valuation.
Broadcasting a building for sale can spook tenants, tip off competitors, and stale-date your asset if it sits. My default is the opposite: a defensible valuation first, then discreet exposure to qualified buyers from my investor network and brokerage relationships.
- Valuation built from your rent roll, T12, and cap rate comps
- Confidential process: no sign, no listing, tenants undisturbed
- Full listing exposure available when broad marketing nets more
- 1031 timelines coordinated with your intermediary and attorney
Acquiring
Deal flow with the math attached.
The same buy-box system that feeds my residential investors runs for commercial: tell me asset type, size, submarket, and return targets, and you get first look when something fits, underwritten before it reaches you.
- Off-market sourcing from owners who will never list publicly
- NOI, expense, and debt-context underwriting on every send
- Represented purchases through ONE Street | Samson
- Honest kill decisions before you spend on diligence
How it starts
From address to answer.
01
Send the basics.
Address and rough story. Rent roll and trailing twelve if you have them handy; if you do not, I can work from less to start.
02
I underwrite it.
Income, expenses, comps, and the debt picture a buyer would face. A valuation range you can defend, not a teaser number.
03
Pick the path.
Quiet off-market disposition, full listing, refinance and hold, or wait. Each option comes with its number attached.
04
Execute with cover.
Buyer qualification, confidentiality, settlement attorneys, and a timeline that respects your tax situation. You stay in command the whole way.
Questions
Commercial, answered.
How do you value a building?
From the documents, not the daydream. Actual rent roll, trailing twelve months of income and expenses, realistic vacancy and expense loads, and cap rate evidence from comparable DMV sales. You see every assumption, and you are free to argue with any of them.
Will my tenants find out I'm exploring a sale?
Not from me. Off-market disposition means qualified buyers under discretion, no public listing, no sign, and property tours handled as routine inspections. Confidentiality is usually the whole reason owners start with a quiet process.
I own a 2 to 4 unit building. Is that commercial?
Financing-wise it is residential, and it usually sells best that way. I handle those through the investment lane, with the same rent-roll-first underwriting. Five units and up is where true commercial valuation kicks in.
Can you work around a 1031 exchange timeline?
Yes. Identification and closing deadlines get built into the deal calendar from day one, and I coordinate with your qualified intermediary and settlement attorney so the tax clock never gets surprised.
What markets do you cover?
Washington DC, suburban Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Small and mid-size assets are the focus: the buildings too small for institutional brokers to care about and too complex for a residential agent to price.
Have a building on your mind?
One address. One honest valuation.
