A Confidential Valuation, Without the Pitch

What is your property or business actually worth.

A small private brokerage handling residential and investment real estate, mixed-use and commercial property, and business sales throughout New York. Your broker is a licensed attorney. Your agent has construction and environmental experience. Your business broker has handled multi-million-dollar transactions. No outside counsel for standard contracts. No handoff between strangers.

§ 01 The Practice

Three disciplines.
One brokerage.

Most sellers — of property or businesses — hire a broker, then a lawyer, then sometimes a contractor or accountant. The professionals never speak to each other. The broker doesn't read the contract. The lawyer never sees the asset. We bring legal review, construction context, and business-sales experience under a single roof, so the work that usually falls between professionals doesn't.

i. The Broker-Attorney

Edward Dunphy

Broker · Attorney

Reviews every contract with a lawyer's eye, because he is one. Negotiation, structuring, and compliance handled in-house. No outside counsel for standard transactions, no waiting on a stranger's redlines.

  • NYS Licensed Real Estate Broker
  • Member, NY State Bar
ii. The Construction Perspective

William Dunphy

Salesperson · Contractor

Brings construction and environmental experience to every transaction. Familiar with deferred maintenance patterns, code compliance, system condition, and realistic repair costs — context that helps buyers make informed offers and sellers price honestly. A licensed home inspector should be retained for any formal inspection; we are not a substitute.

iii. Business Brokerage

Bobby Panahi

Broker · Business Sales

Licensed broker in New York and California with extensive business sales experience, including recent multi-million-dollar construction company transactions. Strengths in valuation, deal structuring, confidential marketing, and qualified-buyer matching across restaurants, retail, services, and trade businesses. Also founder of Rodeo 1031 Exchange in Beverly Hills — a Federation of Exchange Accommodators member firm — bringing deep familiarity with tax-deferred transaction structures.

§ 02 The Moat

Why this is different.

Most brokerages do one thing: marketing. They list the asset, take the calls, and pass everything else to outside professionals. The lawyer reads the contract the night before signing. The construction or financial details that should have shaped the price are surfaced too late, or not at all.

The friction lives at the seams. Things the broker doesn't see end up in the lawyer's redlines. Things the lawyer doesn't see end up at closing. Each professional bills you for coordination they cannot perform, because they don't share a room.

We removed the seams. Your broker writes the contract. Your agent has walked enough buildings to know what construction and code issues actually cost to fix. Your business broker has closed multi-million-dollar deals and knows how buyers underwrite a P&L. There is no handoff because there is no other team.

You're not paying three professionals to coordinate. You're paying one team to execute.

We work with a small number of clients at a time. If we're not the right fit for your property or business, we'll tell you in the first call and direct you to someone who is.

§ 03 The Inventory

What we sell.

Two practice lines — real estate and business sales — under one team. We work where construction context, legal review, or business-sale experience materially change outcomes.

  1. 01

    Single-Family & Owner-Occupied

    Single-family homes, condos, co-ops, and owner-occupied 2–4 unit buildings. Straightforward representation with construction context on condition and repair costs, and an attorney on the team for the contract.

    Common
  2. 02

    2–8 Unit Multifamily Investment

    Rent-stabilized and free-market residential buildings. We understand stabilization status, MCI math, and the construction realities that move pricing on income property.

    Frequent
  3. 03

    Mixed-Use

    Retail or commercial ground floor with residential above. Complex deals that benefit from a team that understands both halves — commercial lease assignment, residential stabilization, and shared building infrastructure.

    Frequent
  4. 04

    Small Commercial

    Warehouses, garages, retail strips, and standalone commercial. We bring construction-cost context to condition discussions and legal review to lease and use questions before they reach closing.

    Selective
  5. 05

    Business Sales

    Restaurants, delis and bodegas, liquor stores, retail, service businesses, and trade businesses including construction and contracting companies. Valuation, structuring, confidential marketing, and qualified-buyer matching led by a broker with multi-million-dollar transaction experience.

    Specialty
§ 04 The Process

From inquiry to closing.

  1. i.

    Initial Conversation

    A 30-minute call. We discuss the building, your goals, your timing. No commitment. We tell you whether we are the right fit before you've signed anything.

    Day 1
  2. ii.

    Walkthrough or Business Review

    For property: William walks the building with you and discusses condition, deferred maintenance, and realistic repair costs from a construction perspective. (A licensed home inspector should be retained for any formal inspection.) For businesses: Bobby reviews financials, lease terms, and operational structure to identify what drives valuation in your sector.

    Week 1
  3. iii.

    Valuation & Strategy

    A confidential written valuation with comp-supported pricing. We discuss listing strategy, marketing channels, and any pre-sale improvements that materially move price.

    Week 2
  4. iv.

    Listing & Negotiation

    We market the asset. Your broker negotiates contracts in real time, with legal authority. Your agent or business broker fields buyer concerns about the asset because they saw it, walked it, or read the books.

    Weeks 3–12
  5. v.

    Closing

    Your broker-attorney drives contract review and closing logistics. We coordinate with outside specialists where required — accountants for business-sale tax structuring, lenders, title — so you only have one number to call.

    Closing
§ 05 The Inquiry

Request a confidential valuation.

A written valuation by mail or email within five business days. No obligation. No sales pitch. No listing pressure. If we are not the right fit for your building, we'll tell you whom to call instead.
