My grandfather, along with his twin brother, were home builders who transitioned into building and managing a significant multi-family portfolio, which remains family managed to this day.With my personal family background, as an agent I have largely engaged in the multifamily space working with legacy owners in the sale of their properties - from 6 unit, single building properties to 19+ unit, multi-building properties.
