Buyer Advisory
Start with the buy box. Move with discipline.
NSRA helps investors define what fits, find it, underwrite it, and move from opportunity to closing with a clear acquisition strategy. When an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange is part of the plan, we help keep the real estate search aligned with the required timeline.
Download the Buyer's Guide & 1031 Roadmap
A practical guide to acquisition planning, diligence, financing, and Section 1031 exchange timing.
Define the buy box
Set the target property type, geography, unit count, price range, return requirements, risk tolerance, renovation appetite, timing, and capital structure.
Source and screen acquisitions
Match on-market, off-market, and private-network opportunities to the buy box and quickly separate a real fit from a distraction.
Underwrite and pursue
Analyze income, expenses, capital needs, financing, and downside risk, then structure the offer, diligence, and negotiations around the investment plan.
Coordinate the Section 1031 exchange
Engage a qualified intermediary before the relinquished property closes, then align the search with the 45-day identification and 180-day acquisition windows while coordinating with the buyer’s attorney, tax advisor, and lender.
Section 1031 exchanges are subject to specific requirements. NSRA provides real estate brokerage and advisory services, not tax or legal advice. Investors should consult their own qualified intermediary, tax advisor, and attorney.
Client perspective
I’ve worked with many brokers over the years, and I was very careful about who I chose to sell these properties. I couldn’t be happier that I chose Dan and Sara.
They are incredibly professional, work seamlessly as a team, and throughout the entire process I always felt they had my best interests in mind. Their advice was excellent, their communication was great, and most importantly, they delivered an outstanding result and got me a deal I was extremely happy with.
I would recommend Dan and Sara without hesitation and would absolutely work with them again.
Client perspective
View transaction coverageI have worked with many real estate brokers and agents on hundreds of transactions since 1986, and I can say with confidence that Dan and Sara are among the best I have ever used.
Their professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and tenacity kept my best interests front and center throughout our $10.4 million sale. The transaction went smoothly, closed on time, and their follow through was excellent.
I would not hesitate to use Dan and Sara again, whether selling or purchasing a property.
Client perspective
Dan Pouladian of North Shore Realty Advisors is one of the premier local brokers specializing in multifamily and commercial real estate. His active knowledge of market conditions, trends, and financing is imperative for both buyers and sellers.
Dan’s knowledge of the market and its participants is vast, allowing him to anticipate potential deals and put together transactions that are often not available on the open market.
He is aggressive in structuring the deal, but more importantly, he makes sure the deal closes. Dan has assisted in strategically creating my portfolio over the past five years. I highly recommend his services to sellers and buyers navigating this challenging marketplace.
Client perspective
You called me one day, and the next day my property was sold. Thank you for making the transaction so easy and smooth for me—and, of course, the price helped.
Keep up the good work. I hope to buy another property with you in the future.
