Most multifamily buyers in Los Angeles go through the same frustrating process. They tell a broker what they are looking for, get added to an email list, and start receiving a flood of properties that have almost nothing to do with what they actually said they wanted. They spend weeks underwriting deals that never made sense. They lose months chasing properties that were already in escrow by the time they heard about them. And eventually they either settle for something that does not quite fit or they give up and wait for the market to bring something to them.
The McCann Multifamily Matchmaker was built because we got tired of watching that happen.
What It Is
The Matchmaker is our proprietary buyer representation process. It is how we work with investors on the buy side and it is fundamentally different from the way most brokers handle buyer relationships.
The goal is simple. Find you the right property faster than any other approach would. Not a property that is just close enough, but the right one.
How It Works
It starts with a conversation. Before we send you a single property, we get on a call and we ask you some questions to find your buy box. We want to know everything about what you are looking for:
-
Location
-
Price range
-
Unit count
-
Cap rate requirements
-
Whether you want value-add or stabilized
-
Your timeline
-
Your tolerance for management intensity
-
Your goals for the asset five years from now
The more specific you can be, the better. A vague buy box produces vague results. The investors who find the right deal fastest are the ones who know exactly what they want and can articulate it clearly. We help you get there if you are not already.
From that conversation we build your investor profile. This is a detailed record of your criteria that lives with our team and drives everything we do on your behalf from that point forward. It is not a form you fill out and forget about. It is the lens through which we evaluate every property we come across.
What Happens Next
Once your profile is built, our team goes to work. We are not waiting for properties to hit the market and forwarding you links. We are actively sourcing deals that fit your criteria, including off market opportunities from owners who want to sell but have no interest in listing publicly. Those deals never reach LoopNet or the MLS. The only way to access them is through relationships, and relationships are what this business is built on.
When something comes across our desk that matches your profile, your agent reaches out directly either by phone, email, or text, depending on how you prefer to be contacted. You hear about it quickly, you have the information you need to move, and you are not competing with every buyer in the city who saw the same listing at the same time.
Why It Works
The reason most buyers struggle to find the right multifamily property is not that the right properties do not exist. It is that the standard process is not designed to find them. It is designed to move inventory.
The Matchmaker flips that. Instead of starting with what is available and seeing if it fits you, we start with you and go find what fits. That shift changes everything about the experience and the outcome.
The investors who work with us through the Matchmaker consistently tell us the same thing afterward. They found a property that actually matched what they were looking for, and they found it faster than they expected. That is the outcome we are building toward every time.
Who It Is For
The Matchmaker works for any buyer who has a general idea of what they want and is serious about finding it. First time multifamily investors. Experienced operators looking for their next value add. Buyers in a 1031 exchange with a deadline. If you can tell us what you are looking for, we can go to work finding it.
The one thing that makes it work is specificity. The more clearly you can define what the right property looks like for you, the more precisely we can match you to it. That is where the process starts, and it is what separates the buyers who find the right deal from the ones who are still looking two years later.
If you are ready to stop searching and start finding, reach out. We will set up a call, build your profile, and get to work.
