Outside of Real Estate

"Jeff and Neema were well-equipped to handle this complex sale. They listened to my personal goals, understood the buildings, and researched buyer backgrounds so I could make an informed decision. The Neema Group understood the business and human element of this decision. I was able to successfully close, transfer my investment out of California, and move on to the next part of my life with peace of mind."

— Alan Bernstein, Multifamily Real Estate Owner

"Working with Neema was easy; I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and persistence, and he took care of everything. He located an off-market, NNN opportunity that I was able to acquire through a 1031 exchange. Neema closed escrow about 2 months before occupancy. The entire transaction was low-stress thanks to Neema’s total management of the process. He was available whenever I needed him; he’s an excellent partner."

— Daisy Ellis, Multifamily Real Estate Owner

"It was clear Neema was an expert from the start. The escrow company he referred was exceptionally competent, able to handle the complex sale, including 1031 exchanges. The Neema Group not only understands the market, but creates it. All properties were in escrow within 6 months of listing. The Neema Group relieved us of immense stress, creating a favorable situation that adhered to our timeline and sale goals."

Jeff shared recent comparable listings, and already understood the market for my property. I was immediately sold on Jeff’s area knowledge and his ability to recognize and defend the value of the property. It took less than 3 weeks to go from contract to closing. Thank you for going the extra mile; your dedication and professionalism stood out in making the process efficient and surprisingly stress-free."
