“I hired Jonathan to handle the leasing for multiple retail properties I own and he has always come through. He works extremely hard, he’s an excellent negotiator and he thinks outside the box. The results speak for themselves.”
Jonah Garb - Founding Partner Coda Equities
Jonathan was THE difference maker in helping me expand my small business into Los Angeles. His ability to accurately apply my space and leasing requirements to the commercial real estate available and not waste any time was superb. I viewed 3 properties and was able to choose quickly and with Jonathan’s direction submit offer and allowed him to negotiate the best deal to allow my business to thrive. A year later, my business is booming and we are once again working with Jonathan to find the next perfect space to expand in Los Angeles. He’s efficient, direct in communication, and has the ability to look at a space and tell you immediately what you’re dealing with and knows city codes and any issues you make run into moving into a commercial space. Appreciate you, Jonathan!

JS represents both buyers and sellers of on and off-market properties. JS understands that the basis for a profitable investment is based on the purchase price and not the sale price. Money is made when you buy the property, not when you sell. JS leverages its background in retail leasing, to provide clients with critical underwriting metrics that will ultimately decide if the property should be purchased. Metrics not limited to sale and rent comparables. Information such as who are the active tenants in the marketplace, what are actual leasing costs including, downtime, tenant concessions and capex work to enhance the marketability of the space and the center.

JJS Realty Co. also understands the significant importance of having a well-thought-out exit strategy, which ultimately needs to protect the investors' hard-earned equity created over the course of the hold period. No strategy is more financially impactful than the deferment of paying capital gains tax on the profits realized. To assist in this complex process, JS Realty has assembled a highly experienced team who is dedicated to helping clients facilitate a tailored tax deferral strategy designed to fit each client’s specific financial goals and needs.
