Our Recent Multifamily Sales in West Hollywood

1643 n formosa ave apartment building

1643 N Formosa Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90046

Sold for $2,067,500 | 8 Units Built in 1956

After nearly 25 years under the same ownership, the sellers of 1643 N Formosa Ave were frustrated with the day-to-day management of owning apartments and decided that it was time to move on. They had previously listed with another large brokerage, but they were unable to generate offers that met the sellers’ expectations. In the hopes of finally getting the building sold, they interviewed our group. After meeting with us and reviewing our valuation & marketing strategy, they selected us for our deep track record in the submarket, recognizing that we are one of the top multifamily brokers in West Hollywood.

We listed this 8-unit and received immediate attention, with 5 offers in just the first 2 weeks. We ultimately sourced a 1031 exchange buyer that was seeking a multifamily investment in a prime pocket of LA, and we were able to negotiate an all-cash deal for our sellers with few contingencies and a quick 30-day close.

Our clients were then able to exchange the proceeds from the sale of their apartment building into an out-of-state retail investment, greatly improving their cash flow and quality of life. Overall, the sellers were extremely pleased with the outcome, as were we.

1016 N Laurel Ave apartment building

1016 N Laurel Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90046

Sold for $3,275,000 | 10 Units Built in 1963

Our seller was an elderly, retired attorney who had purchased his 10-unit West Hollywood apartment building with his sister nearly 45 years ago. As a long-term owner of LA multifamily real estate, our client had never ventured into other asset classes. Upon his sister’s passing, he was facing several major issues with his Laurel Ave property: Strict West Hollywood rent control was dampening his monthly return, the 3rd party management company was overspending on repairs, and a COVID eviction moratorium resulted in several non-paying tenants and routine rent freezes.

Given this unfortunate situation, our client agreed that a 1031 exchange into a 100% passive DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) would be the perfect vehicle to preserve & grow his equity and leave a simpler estate to his heirs one day in the future.

Within one week of listing Laurel Ave for sale, we secured an above-ask offer from the owner of the neighboring asset, and executed a smooth 60-day closing for record breaking pricing north of 18 GRM and in the 3% cap rate range.

1146 n formosa ave apartment building

1146 N Formosa Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90046

Sold for $2,250,000 | 8 Units Built in 1956

This charming 8-unit mid-century apartment building was owned and operated by three sisters for several decades. After many years of ownership, they decided that it was time to sell off the asset and individually 1031 exchange their proceeds into better suited investments.

The owners of 1146 N Formosa Ave interviewed our team along with one other highly active West Hollywood apartment broker, but chose us for our pricing, expansive buyer network and overall track record within West Hollywood city limits.

Within 2 weeks of taking on this listing, our team was able to generate an all-cash offer from the owner of one of the adjacent lots, executing on a smooth 30-day escrow. Despite low rents and high interest rates, we were able to achieve multiple all-cash offers and an extremely aggressive closing price. The final closing metrics were a 3.96% cap rate and 15.25 GRM, which were significantly above market averages at the time.

Overall, the sellers were ecstatic with their choice to hire The Glaser Group.

Our Team

  • “Jake & his team assisted me with a complex multifamily property 1031 Exchange. Jake got me out of heavily demanding downleg properties into hands off NNN trophy properties on the upleg. He handled so many uncontrollable variables with great professionalism, and made the whole process as smooth as possible. Because of Jake and his expansive contacts and foresight, we closed my 1031 Exchange 90 days early and have already started to reap the rewards of monthly rental income that much sooner. I would highly recommend Jake & his team to assist anyone with their real estate needs.”

    — Matt Schneider, Casablanca Property Management

  • "Our experience with Jake Glaser could not have been better. From the start of the listing to the close was about 5 weeks. He was always available when we called and answered all our questions quickly and comprehensively. We give him the highest marks for professionalism. Thank you, Jake."

    — Dana Waldhorn, Family Trust

  • "Jake did an excellent job of representing the seller, managing the transaction, coordinating the due diligence, overseeing escrow and the delivery of all documents, etc. that ultimately resulted in a smooth and efficient closing in a very rapid time frame. In addition, his social media and Twitter skills are legendary and inspiring."

    — Jerry Fink, The Bascom Group

  • "Jake Glaser represented my family with the sale of a complicated multifamily property and was nothing short of amazing. From our very first meeting to after the close of the sale, he was easy to work with and beyond responsive, including emails at 1AM! He had buyers within the first week without even hitting MLS. We are so grateful for his hard work, his ability to listen and navigate multiple family members, and his expertise. We will definitely look to him again for future sales."

    — Cathy Flores, Family Trust

  • “We were extremely pleased with the excellent job by Jake on our transaction. He represented us on the purchase of our new multifamily property in Beverly Grove, and his deep understanding of the local market and negotiation skills put us in the best possible position. He was a great communicator, easy to work with, and always put our interests first. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell LA multifamily.”

    — Daniel Golchian, Physician and CRE Investor

  • "I would highly recommend Jake to anyone that has an investment property in the greater Fairfax/Hollywood area they wish to sell. He works hard to find a buyer for the property, trying all kinds of marketing solutions. He also is great at keeping sellers up to date on what is happening in the marketplace."

    — Edie Brodsky, Retired Realtor & Investor

  • "Jake was our sales broker for two multifamily apartment buildings (8 & 4 plex) in the East Side of LA. My brother, sister and I vetted several brokers and we all felt that Jake was much more service oriented (vs. transactional). Jake is easy to work with, always available, extremely responsive and patient (had to deal with three strong willed siblings)."

    — Juan Garcia, Family Trust

  • "Jake Glaser has represented me exclusively on my last few single tenant NNN acquisitions. He is extremely easy-going but has great follow through and gets results and answers for me. He’s also consulted for me on other NNN related matters even when he couldn’t represent me. I think integrity and perseverance are really important qualities in a real estate broker and that’s why I feel most comfortable having Jake represent me. I also feel like I benefit from Jake’s connection to the nationwide network of Matthews agents, which helps us make informed decisions when considering opportunities across the entire country."

    — David Mozes, CRE Investor & Restaurateur

  • “We really appreciated the time and effort taken to get to know my family and our particular needs.
