Family Office
Unlock new opportunities for your family’s wealth
We guide families through transitioning from single-family rentals into larger commercial assets like shopping centers and office buildings. The result is a streamlined portfolio, more stable income, and meaningful tax advantages unlocked through strategic planning.
Why transition to commercial real estate?
Commercial properties often offer longer lease terms and reliable revenue streams with reduced tenant turnover. Consolidating multiple single-family properties into fewer high-value commercial assets simplifies management, steadies cash flow, and makes tax planning far more efficient.
Managing real estate as a portfolio
Individual assets get managed. Portfolios get strategy. The difference shows up over a generation.
Inventory the holdings
Every asset, its ownership structure, debt, lease status, performance, condition, and how it fits the family's broader objectives.
Evaluate performance
Which assets are earning their place in the portfolio, which are underperforming their basis, and which carry risk that is not being compensated.
Set the strategy
Hold, reposition, refinance, exchange, or divest, aligned with liquidity needs, tax position, and how the family wants the portfolio to look in ten and twenty years.
Execute and steward
Transactions handled through a single point of accountability, with reporting that keeps everyone informed without requiring them to manage it themselves.
What we look at across a portfolio
Portfolio decisions require a wider lens than any single transaction does.
Asset performance
Return on current equity rather than on original basis, which often reveals that a long-held asset is quietly underperforming.
Concentration and diversification
Exposure by asset class, geography, and tenant, and whether the portfolio is unintentionally concentrated in one risk.
Debt structure
Maturities, rates, recourse, and refinancing exposure, with attention to loans coming due into an uncertain rate environment.
Tax position
Basis, depreciation, exchange opportunities, and estate considerations, coordinated with your existing tax and legal advisors.
Ownership and succession
Entity structure, who holds what, and whether the arrangement will hold up through a generational transition.
Liquidity and time horizon
What the family needs available and when, matched against how quickly each asset could realistically be converted.
Questions families ask us
Do you replace our existing advisors?
No. We work alongside your CPA, attorney, and wealth advisors on the real estate side specifically. Our role is to be the real estate expertise in the room, not to take over the relationship.
How large does a portfolio need to be?
There is no threshold. What matters is whether the holdings are complex enough or spread out enough that managing them asset by asset is costing the family money or attention it would rather spend elsewhere.
What does representation cost?
Every engagement is different, so compensation is discussed openly and agreed in writing before any work begins. There are no surprise fees and nothing is owed based on a conversation. We will explain exactly how it would work for your situation, in plain terms, before you commit to anything.
Do you only work in the Sacramento region?
Greater Sacramento is our home market and where our relationships run deepest. Through our eXp affiliation we can also support clients well beyond the region, bringing in local expertise wherever your plans take you.
