MEET Taylor Avakian

Taylor started The Group CRE because he saw a gap in the market—too many sellers weren’t getting the clarity or strategy they needed to make smart decisions. Some were left guessing about their property’s true value, others felt like just another deal on a broker’s list. He built this firm to change that.

Over the years, he’s built more than a brokerage—he’s built a trusted resource for property owners and investors across LA. His podcast, No Vacancy, is where decision-makers turn for real insights on the market. His Instagram and YouTube breakdown everything from rent control shifts to smart investment strategies.

But beyond the content, beyond the numbers, people trust Taylor because he actually knows this market inside and out.

Taylor has closed over $300M in multifamily deals.
He’s been recognized as one of LA’s top real estate professionals.
And when industry insiders want to know where the market is headed, they ask him.

Taylor is also the host of the No Vacancy Podcast, the top podcast for Southern California owners, investors, and industry professionals looking to navigate LA’s multi-family market.

MEET Freddie Gershinson

Freddie grew up in London and spent over a decade in real estate therebefore moving to Los Angeles, closing more than $185M in multifamilyand development deals across both markets.

Now based in LA, he focuses exclusively on Silver Lake, Echo Park, LosFeliz, and the wider Eastside, working with private investors, localfamilies, and overseas buyers on 3 to 30 unit multifamily properties.He takes pride in sitting down with owners and families to understandtheir goals and act as a trusted advisor, not just a broker.

Since making the move, he has built a reputation as one of the mostactive brokers on the Eastside. He knows virtually every active buyerin his market personally, giving his clients a real advantage the moment they decide to sell. Straight answers, real numbers, norunaround.

Outside of work he's either on a golf course, taking his dog on ahike, or watching Arsenal from a safe emotional distance.

A TEAM That Works Like a partner,

NOT JUST a Broker.

We're not the biggest brokerage in town, and we like it that way. A smaller, sharper team means more focus on you.

It means we can be strategic instead of transactional.

It means you’re never left wondering what’s happening with your listing because you’ll always have a direct line to the people actually working on it.

We don’t believe in high-pressure sales tactics. We believe in data, relationships, and giving owners real clarity on their options. Because when you have the right information, you make better decisions—and better decisions lead to better deals.

THE GROUP CRE Difference

If you just want an agent who will throw your property on the market and hope for the best, we’re probably not the right fit.

But if you want a team that thinks bigger—a team that treats your sale like a business decision, not just another deal—
we should talk.
