Emigrating from Ukraine in 1979, my first job in the United States was working as a shipping clerk. After ten months, I began selling merchandise in different swab meets around Los Angeles and shortly after opened a janitorial service company, cleaning residential homes and small offices. After a lot of persistence and hard work I gained my biggest account; Herbalife International. After years of focus and saving money, I came across a Real Estate seminar at the Los Angeles Convention Center where the speaker was teaching about buying fix-flip homes. I liked that idea and invested in my first property in the City of San Bernardino; purchasing a 750 sq. ft. home for $26K. After 1 year of renovating, I sold the property for $47K and this was beginning of my journey as real estate investor.

During my 25 years in the industry, I have purchased, renovated, rented and sold 200+ residential and multi-family properties as well as owned and operated a property management company. I have a strong understanding of the market dynamics and investment strategies that drive success. I am experienced in building relationships with real estate agents and establishing connections with private lenders, mortgage companies, title representatives, and escrow companies.

Additionally, I am a licensed general contractor, having built 26 custom designed homes in the Inland Empire.

As a seasoned entrepreneur, business owner, merger & acquisition broker, and real estate investment professional with over 30 years of experience, I am deeply committed to driving financial success for my clients, whether they are buyers or sellers. With a comprehensive understanding of the market and a proven track record, I bring a wealth of expertise to every transaction, ensuring optimal outcomes.

As an experienced Middle Market Business Broker, I know selling your business can seem like an overwhelming experience. With decades of experience, I will quickly help you know where you are now and what you could do to increase your Company value prior to sale. We provide at no cost a tried-and-true valuation methodology to determine what you could expect if you sold today. More importantly, this process will reveal what we could do to position a Seller for maximum proceeds and a higher selling price with a little planning and sage advice. You won’t be pressured and we only hope that when the time is right for you to sell that we have the privilege of being your Business Broker.

As an experienced Middle Market Broker, I have Brokered the sale of a Company in nearly every Industry and decades of experience really does bring an expertise that makes a difference for your outcome. I will help you determine if an Asset Sale or a Stock Sale is best for your transaction and then curate all our messaging to specifically reach our ideal Buyer. In addition to the standard complete sale of a Company I am an expert in crafting “structured transactions”. These offer a Seller an opportunity to sell part of a Company now to an Ideal Industry leader and then remain with Equity to sell again at a hopefully much higher valuation in the future. This can quite often be the best solution when selling a growing company to reach maximum proceeds for the Seller, particularly if the Seller can remain on staff for another year or two to guide an expansion.

Before becoming a licensed California business broker, I owned a Mortgage bank and also brokered commercial loans as a Capital Advisor at the Nation’s largest commercial real estate brokerage.
