Successfully Delivering Results and Guiding Clients through Commercial Real Estate Transactions with Common Sense and Uncommon Depth of Experience.

“Deals begin based on bid and ask. How they proceed and finish is the powerful difference my experience adds to the equation.”
-- Adam Petriella

Adam Petriella is the mortgage intermediary commercial property owners in California turn to again and again to finance transactions valued from $3 to $30 million. Multi-family properties, shopping centers, industrial, office, and hotels are among the property types Adam has closed over the course of his long and successful career in commercial real estate. His sources include portfolio lenders, insurance companies, CMBS, agency, bridge and private lenders.

Since 1987, he has sold, financed and led teams closing investment real estate transactions valued well in excess of $1b. To close this volume, a professional real estate broker sees four to ten times as many opportunities, and then applies judgment and knowledge to assess probabilities of success. Knowing where, when and how to use this rare accumulation of knowledge and experience plays a key role when Adam represents clients. His skills, judgment and temperament make him best able to guide clients of all types through the demands of the current market.

Here is what an independent owner said about Adam:

• “During my long career in real estate (since the 1950’s) I have seen lots of people come and go. Mr. Petriella has the skills and temperament of a winner. I highly respect his friendly manner and professionalism. He and his team handled all the details of my transaction, and he was personally involved all the way through. For example, he met with the appraiser at the building on the day before the New Year Holiday and frequently hand delivered important documents. If I had more properties, Mr. Petriella would be my agent on each and every one.”

Known and frequently recommended to others for his expertise, high integrity, and great results, Adam’s strong work ethic, straight talk, and trusted advice earn favor among serious deal makers who consider him their “go-to guy” for their commercial real estate needs.

Here is what the largest REIT in the U.S. said about Adam:

• “As the nation’s largest apartment owner, AIMCO has broad transactional experience. We look towards professionals we know can get the job accomplished in a timely manner, meeting or exceeding our standards of performance. Adam Petriella is such an individual. We look forward to a long term business relationship with him.”

Adam is fiercely committed to providing clients the value they deserve. Even other brokers who work with Adam appreciate his thoughtful advice, his talent at guiding deals to closure, and the time and headaches they save by engaging him to make their deals happen. His passion and road-tested experience is always hard at work looking after their high stakes interests.

Here is what a Veteran Broker says about Adam:

Given the nature of the market in general and this property specifically, it took a tremendous amount of expertise and professionalism on your part to get this deal done.

• As an investment broker, I especially appreciated working with someone with your maturity and deal making sensitivity. Because this was an acquisition, your ability to handle the buyer and seller issues, in addition to the lender issues, was especially important. I know you worked hard to lessen the impact of the lender’s heightened underwriting standards, ensuring that the deal stayed on track.
