The experience behind the advice

Built on negotiation.
Grounded in ownership.

With more than 30 years of negotiation experience and nearly two decades specializing in investment real estate, Reza Ghobadi advises investors, developers, and institutions across Los Angeles County. His work focuses on the acquisition and disposition of multifamily properties and development land in Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and the Tri-Cities markets of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena.

Since beginning his commercial real estate career in 2006, Reza has guided clients through acquisitions, dispositions, and complex market conditions. He previously served as Director of Special Asset Services, specializing in distressed assets and REO properties, and was promoted to Executive Vice President in 2022.

Before joining Colliers, Reza owned and operated a hospitality and transportation company employing more than 50 professionals. That entrepreneurial background gives him an owner's perspective on investment decisions: understanding operational realities, evaluating long-term value, and approaching each transaction as a business strategy rather than simply a sale.

Fluent in English, Swedish, and Farsi, Reza works with a diverse client base and maintains relationships with private investors, family offices, developers, and institutional owners.
