Investment Sales
Investment sales for
owners who treat
NYC as portfolio.
Multifamily, mixed-use, development sites, and hotels. We work with private owners, family offices, and investors on dispositions and acquisitions across the five boroughs — most of them off-market.

The Practice
Investment
sales done
quietly.
Most NYC investment trades don’t reach the open market. We work the relationships, owner to owner, sponsor to capital, and surface deals at the right moment for both sides.
A defensible number, not an aspirational one.
Asking prices that don’t transact aren’t valuations. They’re advertisements. We arrive at numbers that close — based on rent rolls, expense reality, comparable trades, and the specific buyer pool we know is active.
The buyer pool is the strategy.
A Brooklyn mixed-use building has a different buyer pool than a Manhattan multi-family. We don’t run the same playbook on both. The marketing strategy, the timing, and the disclosure framework are all built around who’s actually likely to close.
1031 timing is structural.
Replacement property identification and acquisition windows on 1031 exchanges drive both sides of the trade. We coordinate timing, replacement candidates, and back-up properties from the start of the engagement, not at day 30.
Reach when a deal crosses borders.
Investment Sales is where international capital and out-of-market relationships most often surface. A family office in Milan looking for NYC multifamily exposure. A 1031 exchange identifying assets across multiple US markets. A buyer in Dubai looking at Manhattan portfolio plays. Kaden’s NYC team handles the local closing. The Keller Williams Worldwide network — 17,000+ agents across 55+ countries — handles the introductions and out-of-market diligence when the deal calls for it.
What we look for
Four criteria for an
investment trade
worth running.
Four criteria for an investment trade worth running.
Every disposition and acquisition assignment we take on is filtered against the same framework. We say no to deals that don’t pass it.
i.
A capital story that holds up.
Why is this asset trading at this price right now? If the answer isn’t clear, the trade doesn’t run cleanly.
ii.
Rent roll and expenses that match reality.
Stated NOI is a starting point. We rebuild the model from leases, bills, and city records before we publish a number.
iii.
A buyer pool that's actually active.
Cap-rate compression and credit conditions move the buyer universe quarter to quarter. We know which buyers are buying right now.
iv.
A close path through financing.
Debt assumption, new financing, all-cash, 1031 — every structure has its own friction. We map the path before we open the deal.

The process
From
engagement to
closing.
Investment-sales transactions run on the seller’s pace. The structure stays consistent.
I.
Value
Rebuild the rent roll and expense model. Establish a defensible asking range.
II.
Position
Build the OM. Identify the right buyer pool — broad market, targeted, or off-market only.
III.
Run
Execute the marketing process. Manage tours, financing conversations, and offer flow.
IV.
Close
Negotiate the contract, manage due diligence, coordinate financing and 1031 timing through closing.
