Multifamily deals,
closed right.
VartanianCRE is a multifamily and commercial investment real estate team serving owners and investors across Los Angeles County — from listing and valuation through 1031 exchanges, trust & probate transfers, and bankruptcy-estate dispositions. Operating under Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate, Inc.
A dedicated multifamily & commercial team, backed by a top LA brokerage.
VartanianCRE is led by Derrick Vartanian, First Vice President at Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate, Inc., together with a small team focused entirely on multifamily and commercial investment property across Los Angeles County. We advise owners on listing, valuation, acquisitions, and 1031 exchanges — and we've built particular depth in two transaction types that require extra care: trust & probate sales, and bankruptcy-estate dispositions.
Every recommendation starts with the client's goals, not the transaction. We work directly with owners, trustees, executors, attorneys, and bankruptcy administrators to move real property through complex situations clearly and efficiently.

After owning our apartment building for more than 25 years, deciding to sell was not easy. Derrick and Daniel took the time to understand our priorities and developed a strategy that made us comfortable from the beginning. They were candid when we needed advice, accessible whenever questions came up, and exceptionally thorough throughout the transaction. Their experience and steady approach gave us confidence at every stage.
Derrick’s preparation immediately set him apart. He understood the property, knew the competing inventory, and was able to explain its value to buyers in a compelling way. The marketing generated strong interest, and he handled the negotiations with confidence and discipline. We ultimately achieved a result that exceeded our expectations while closing on the timeline we needed.
Selling one property and acquiring a replacement through a 1031 exchange required careful coordination and very little room for error. Derrick helped us stay focused on the most important decisions, communicated closely with the other professionals involved, and kept both transactions progressing under demanding deadlines. His responsiveness and command of the process made a complicated exchange significantly easier.
