Commercial Real Estate. Investment Strategy. Financing Under One Roof.

We help Northern California investors and business owners acquire commercial properties with genuine upside — value-add multifamily, retail, industrial, and owner-user buildings — and structure the financing around the deal from day one. 20+ years of brokerage experience behind every decision.

Business Value Analysis

Know what your business is really worth.

Selling, refinancing, or planning ahead? We analyze the business and the real estate together — a confidential broker price analysis based on income, comparables, and current market conditions.

First-Time Commercial Buyer

Your first commercial property, guided start to finish.

Stop paying someone else's mortgage. We walk first-time commercial buyers through qualifying, finding the deal, and closing with confidence.

Real deals, real numbers

Hayward · Value-add investment
$5,200 → $13,500/mo rent

Found an under-rented property, guided the improvements and new rental agreements, and arranged a 25-year fully fixed-rate loan, so there's no rate reset or refinance every 5–7 years.

Gas station · SBA 504 refinance
$2.3M loan, 25-yr fully amortized

Refinanced a gas station owner into long-term SBA 504 financing, so he no longer has to worry about refinancing.

Office building · Purchase + 10-year payoff
$2.8M purchase, $1.3M conventional loan

Structured around the buyer's tax-planning goals, with a 10-year loan designed to own the building free and clear in a decade.

All three clients have since come back to us for their next transactions.

Invest in Real Estate

We target properties with genuine upside — assets where NOI can grow through lease-up, repositioning, or better management — matched to your goals and risk profile, including off-market opportunities.

Analyze a Deal
Financing

Financing should be part of the deal strategy — not an afterthought.

A property's price only tells part of the story. Leverage, debt service, amortization, and required equity can materially change the economics of an investment. Before you write the offer, we analyze the deal and the debt together — NOI, cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash, SBA eligibility for owner-users, conventional vs. bridge structure.

Financing is arranged through SI MTG, our affiliated mortgage platform — same ownership, same advisor, NMLS #300923 — so the real estate and capital sides of your transaction work as one.

Questions, Answered

Frequently asked questions

How much is my commercial property worth?
Your value depends on income, cap rate, location, and condition. We give Bay Area owners a free, no-obligation broker opinion of value using live comparable sales and current market data — usually within one business day.
Do you charge for a property or business value analysis?
No. Our broker opinion of value is completely free with no obligation. We'd rather earn your trust first — it's how most of our long-term client relationships have started.
What areas do you serve?
We focus on Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, and the wider East Bay, plus Silicon Valley and Sacramento — commercial, multifamily, retail, office, industrial, hotels, gas stations, and land.
What is a 1031 exchange and can you help?
A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital-gains tax by reinvesting sale proceeds into another investment property. We guide the full timeline and identify replacement properties so you stay compliant and maximize returns.
Can a first-time buyer qualify for a commercial property?
Yes. We help first-time commercial buyers understand qualifying, down payment, and financing — including SBA loans that let you buy your building with as little as 10% down.
What languages does your team speak?
Our team serves clients directly in English, Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Arabic, Urdu, and Spanish — and this website can be viewed in more than a dozen languages using the language selector at the top of the page.
