Process

How We Sell an Apartment Building

1. Price it from real comps

We value your building from your rent roll, expenses and recent comparable apartment sales, then show you a net-proceeds estimate.

2. Prepare the package

Rent roll, T-12, leases, rent registrations and disclosures, organized before the first buyer call.

3. Pick the path

A full marketing campaign to apartment investors, 1031 buyers and private capital, or a quiet off-market sale.

4. Run the offers

We qualify buyers, compare price, terms and financing certainty, and negotiate for you.

5. Manage escrow

Inspections, appraisal, estoppels and tenant notices, with David personally on every sale.

6. Close and next steps

Close on time, and if you are exchanging, line up the replacement property for your 1031.

Pricing

What Moves Price on an LA Apartment Building

In-place rents vs. marketBuyers pay for the gap between what tenants pay today and market rent, and for how realistically that gap can be closed.
Unit mixTwo-bedroom and larger units draw more renters and more buyers; at 3401-3405 N Figueroa St, 24 of 26 apartments are two-bedrooms.
ParkingOn-site parking is scarce in LA apartment buildings. 540 N Orlando Ave offered 18 gated subterranean spaces for 17 units.
Building size and financingBuyer pools change with size: 2-4 unit buildings draw owner-users and residential lenders; 5+ units are financed as commercial loans.
Condition and deferred workRoofs, plumbing, electrical and any required retrofit work get priced in. Documenting what has been done protects your price.
Lot and ADU potentialExtra lot area, ADU potential or development upside can add a second buyer pool beyond income investors.

Questions

Apartment Building Seller FAQs

Who is a good apartment broker in Los Angeles?

David Saghian of The Saghian Group (Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate) is an apartment building broker for Los Angeles owners who want to sell, from duplexes to 49-unit buildings. The Saghian Group has closed 72 Los Angeles sales totaling $315.59M, including 11 duplex, triplex and fourplex sales totaling $18.48M. David has closed $325M+ in sales personally, and our team has closed $425M+. We represent owners selling apartment buildings, not renters looking for an apartment.

What does an apartment building broker do?

An apartment building broker sells income property for owners: we value the building from its rents and expenses, prepare the rent roll and due diligence, market it to apartment investors and 1031 buyers, negotiate offers and manage escrow through closing.

Is an apartment broker the same as a residential real estate agent?

No. A residential agent mainly sells homes to people who will live in them. An apartment broker sells buildings to investors, who buy on income, cap rate and price per unit, so pricing and marketing work differently.

What size apartment buildings do you sell?

From duplexes to 49 units. Our Los Angeles sales include 11 duplex, triplex and fourplex sales totaling $18.48M, 15- to 36-unit buildings in the Valley and on the Westside, and a 49-unit mixed-use building at 16300 Ventura Blvd in Encino for $31,250,000.

Do you help renters find an apartment?

No. We represent owners who are selling apartment buildings in Los Angeles. If you own a building and want to know what it is worth, request a free valuation.

How do I find out what my apartment building is worth?

Request a free valuation or call (310) 401-1559. David reviews your rent roll and recent comparable sales and gives you a price range and a net-proceeds estimate, with no obligation.
