Advisor Overview

An analytical approach to apartment sales.

Luka graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Administration, concentrating in accounting. That foundation shows up in how he works: every listing gets underwritten carefully before it goes to market, so owners are working from numbers they can trust.

He stays close to the deal from first walkthrough to closing table — pricing, marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, and everything in between — with particular focus on Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley, one of the more active multifamily submarkets in Los Angeles County.

Advisory Process

From first conversation to closing.

A straightforward sequence — each stage builds on the one before it.

01

Understand the Property

Review the property's operations, pull comparable sales and rents, and talk through what matters most to the owner — timing, price, or both.

A clear read on value and options before anything goes to market.
02

Shape the Strategy

Turn the analysis into pricing and positioning, prepare marketing materials, and reach out to qualified buyers directly.

A strategy shaped by real buyer feedback, not guesswork.
03

Advise Through Closing

Compare offers on price and terms, negotiate the details, and stay hands-on through due diligence and escrow.

Steady guidance from accepted offer to closed deal.
Supporting Analysis

What goes into the underwriting.

The analysis is scoped to the property and the owner's goals — this is the baseline it starts from.

When Relevant

Existing Apartment

For stabilized buildings, the analysis centers on in-place rents, unit mix, and upside from turnover or repositioning.

Land & Development

For development-oriented assignments, the analysis can extend to residual land value, zoning, and buildout potential.

1031 Exchange

When timing matters, exchange and replacement-property considerations are looped in alongside your tax and legal advisors.

Team Track Record

Backed by 13 years of closings.
