Spin-Off Success

Yair Haimoff, Founder of Spectrum Commercial Real Estate Inc.

By Michael Aushenker Staff Reporter at The San Fernando Valley Business Journal

BROKERAGE: From NAI Capital to his own firm, Yair Haimoff has become a force in industrial real estate.

Amid the many success stories in the Valley region’s real estate industry, the career trajectory of Yair Haimoff stands out.

Not yet 50, Haimoff is the founder and executive managing director of Spectrum CRE ™, a commercial brokerage and property management firm that specializes in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita submarkets.

Prior to launching his Valencia-based firm, Haimoff was one of NAI Capital’s top producing brokers and branch manager of the LA North office located in Valencia. During his 15-year NAI tenure, he recruited, trained, and mentored several agents, forming one of NAI’s top producing teams.

2018 proved the turning point of Haimoff’s career when he left NAI Capital and founded Spectrum CRE ™. The company currently has two main offices in Valencia and Woodland Hills, with satellite offices in Encino and Century City. Haimoff’s company employs 20 people in total.

“It was definitely a difficult decision,” said Haimoff in reference to his decision to go solo.

” A couple of major items that I needed to consider prior to making the move were the responsibility that I have to my family and the other is making a move after being with a company for so many years. I also had another obstacle – my father was going through cancer treatments and ultimately passed away as I was just making the transition.”

One person who understands the difficulty  Haimoff faced in leaving an established brokerage is Newmark Knight Frank Executive Managing Director John DeGrinis. A year ago he and fellow industrial brokers Patrick DeRoss and Jeff Abraham jumped agencies from Colliers International to Newmark Knight Frank in Warner Center.

“It’s difficult to make a transition,” DeGrinis said. “Commissions and things that are contractual with an option, so that deals stay with the original firm. It is a little more cumbersome.”

DeGrinis was with Colliers for 33 years. “When you give them notice that you’re leaving, there’s no longer that intimate relationship,” he said. “You’re now on the outside looking in. … Changes is always disruptive but, a lot of times, it is good because you reinvent itself.”

Unusual deals

During its first year, Spectrum CRE ™ helped broker a $20 million portfolio sale of properties in Van Nuys and now Haimoff is negotiating to sell a different portfolio with seven components to it.

“We are going to have plenty of product coming up,” he said. “We will see a new evolution.”

One challenge for Haimoff’s young company is adapting to changing market conditions in real-time. For example, one of Spectrum’s splashiest deals closed in November, Northridge Medical Center, a two-story, 30,353-square-foot building at 18433 Roscoe Blvd., was sold for $12 million. As the structure was right across from Dignity Health,

“We ended up selling it to an owner/user,” Haimoff said, adding that “when a property lists for $10 million or more, it’s rare to find an owner/user. But that was because there were no available buildings.”

Another unusual Spectrum CRE ™ deal closed last May for client Smokebuddy – a Pacoima-based manufacturer of a device that kills the odor of cannabis. In this case, Haimoff had to convince the client about the best strategy.

“The inventor wanted to lease more space,” Haimoff said. “I said, ‘Why don’t you just buy the property?'”

He knew finding a property for the business would present extreme challenges. But he unearthed a 23,000-square-foot building at 11662 Tuxford St. in Sun Valley, which Smokebuddy’s creator purchased for $2.25 million. The company occupies just under half of the space alongside seven other tenants.

And last April, Haimoff found Agoura Hills-based Wildflour Bakery and Café its desired auxiliary kitchen space at 21160 Califa St. in Woodland Hills. Wildflour bakes challah bread for outlets such as Trader Joe’s and Costco and specialty bread for The Habit, Hook Burger and other regional chains.

Valley roots

Haimoff was born to his father, of Russian ancestry, and mother, of Kurdish heritage, in Israel. His father served in the Israeli military for more than 30 years, eventually retiring as a lieutenant colonel. Upon his retirement, he decided to relocate his family to the United States. At age 13, Haimoff moved to Woodland Hills in 1989.

Haimoff attended Hale Junior High and El Camino High School. He had to overcome a number of culture shock aspects from the transition, including learning to speak English.

“You would never have felt that Woodland Hills would be the downtown of the Valley.” he said. “I remember riding my bicycle through all of these industrial buildings that we handle now.”

Upon high school graduation in 1994, Haimoff attended Pierce College in Woodland Hills and Moorpark College in Moorpark before transferring over to California State University – Northridge, where he earned his bachelor’s in criminal justice.

The award-winning realtor began his career in the commercial real estate industry with NAI Capital in 2002 as what he said the firm’s first-ever intern. Later, investment broker Barry Rothstein presented Haimoff with an opportunity to become his assistant.

“Barry was the first to hire me within NAI Capital,” Haimoff said.

“His timing couldn’t have been better because at the time, computers were just beginning to become necessary tools for brokers,” Bob Scullin, former chief executive and part-owner of NAI Capital, told the Business Journal. “He, being a young guy, had the expertise to use and understand the technology. … Eventually, he became indispensable.”

In 2003, Yair acquired a position as an assistant to the investment team, where he worked on large-scale projects, including the sale of one of the largest shopping centers in the city of Santa Clarita, California.

“We closed one of the largest deals in Valencia (circa 2004) for $70 million – it was the shopping center at McBean and Magic Mountain Parkway,” Haimoff said.

As an assistant to Rothstein, Haimoff honed his skills on everything from preparing the deal memorandum to marketing and brass tacks.

“It was a good experience,” he said. “I learned every aspect of the industry. That was pretty much my introduction into industrial real estate.”

In 2015, Haimoff was appointed executive managing director and branch manager of NAI Capital’s LA North/Valencia Office, where he multiplied the branch’s personnel from four to 18 brokers and turned his office into one of his company’s highest performers. In that setting, he developed the management skills that launched Spectrum in 2018.

Unfortunately, 2018 also marked the year that Haimoff’s father died of cancer. However, one of Haimoff’s five brothers, Isaac Haimoff, works for him at Spectrum as a senior vice president.

Shawn Evenhaim, chief executive of Canoga Park-Headquartered developer California Home Builders, bought a Woodland Hills property that was brokered by Haimoff in 2018. It will become the site of the Q on Califa.

Evenhaim told the Business Journal that he had a very positive experience acquiring the property at 21300 W. Califa St. For now, In His Presence church occupies the site but when its lease expires the land will become apartments.

“Yair is a very professional and knowledgeable broker and we enjoy working with him and look forward to work with him again in the future,” Evenhaim said.

Spectrum CRE ™ team involved in several significant transactions in SCV

Yair-Haimoff-Business-Picture

After more than 15 years with NAI Capital, Yair Haimoff and his team have struck out on their own and have already made a big impact in the Santa Clarita Valley real estate market.

Haimoff, a commercial real estate adviser with nearly two decades of brokerage, leasing, sales and investments experience, announced the launch of his new firm, Spectrum CRE ™, earlier this year.

Since January, Spectrum CRE ™ has been involved in several significant transactions, including the sale of the former home of Einstein Academy charter school, a $6 million property on Kelly Johnson Parkway, in addition to helping Santa Clarita Valley businesses find spots in industrial spaces such as the Centre Pointe Parkway business park in the center of town.

There, Haimoff recently located a new client where the home of the Warrior Fitness facilities were located.

“My goal is launching Spectrum CRE ™ is to provide a fresh and innovative approach to brokerage, using technology to streamline processes so our brokers can focus on providing superior client service without getting distracted by administrative tasks,” Haimoff said, nothing that, with his new company, he looks forward to innovating.

Yair-Haimoff-Commercial-Real-Estate-team

“With tools to help efficiently, including creating a sustainable working environment, our team has greater flexibility to connect with our clients on a more personal level, to deliver the greatest value and results.”

Haimoff is serving as the firm’s executive managing director and joined by brokers Isaac Haimoff, Matt Sreden, Andrew Ghassemi, Barry Jakov, Alan DiFatta, Shawn Jacobson and Nathan Shaolin, with additional brokers joining the firm soon.

Starting his own firm has been given Haimoff a number of opportunities he’s using to try to better serve Spectrum’s clients, he said, such as state-of-the-art drone footage, a little more control over client services and offices in three locations: Encino, West L.A. and the company’s Valencia headquarters on Constellation Road.

The firm’s services include tenant and landlord representation, leasing, sales (owner-user and investments), 1031 exchange buyer representation, national single-tenant investment sales and acquisitions, net lease investments, build-to-suit developments and debt/equity.

Spectrum CRE ™ currently represents property listing throughout Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Bold Commercial Real Estate Investment

Bold Commercial Real Estate Investment

Bold Commercial Real Estate Investment

With tax laws tailored to favor the bold, investments in commercial real estate is how the ultra-wealthy make money.

We now know that about 80% of millionaires contribute their financial success to real estate and that savvy investors place their claims in the commercial sector.

Yet, the market’s accessibility does not end at the wealthy elite.  With a dynamic range of financing options commercial real estate is obtainable to anyone with the drive for success.

Commercial real estate, an attractive option for all involved.

CRE buildings attract long-term tenants, which translates into a secure and consistent cash flow. Businesses benefit from steady long-term leases, since it establishes them in the community, and offers stability for their employees.
Long-term leases have the added benefit of being more favorable to banks, should you decided to sell or refinance your CRE property.

Scale economy, more units; less money (overall).

By owning a multi-unit building, you can negotiate more favorable contracts with outside vendors and maintenance teams.

This benefit is directly proportionate to the number of units available in a building, which drives down prices and causes companies to directly compete for your business; you can even decrease expenses by re-negotiating operating cost.

The flexible nature of CRE investments allows for clever amortization of big expenses, which means lowered long-term cost and better quarterly returns.

Did you know?

The IRS has given CRE owners many tools to help drive down taxes on their properties. One such tool is depreciation.
CRE buildings will start to depreciate at 27.5 years, and you can remove a portion of the building’s depreciation value from your yearly profits, lowering the amount of taxable income.
This is effect can be furthered by a cost segregation study, which allows you to accelerate depreciation value on tangible assets such as appliances, carpets, and light fixtures, to name a few.
 
In short, commercial real-estate is the sure-fire way to increase your ROI. Let us examine how we can put cash back in your wallet.

Choose The Right Commercial Real Estate Broker

Chooser The Right Commercial Real Estate Broker

Choose The Right Commercial Real Estate Broker

Commercial real estate is an ocean of possibilities, fraught with peril, and ripe with opportunity. Yet, not everyone… will have your best interest in mind.

True Success

A leader knows that true success isn’t obtained alone. Good leaders surround themselves with the best people in the industry. They hand pick talent, nurture ideas, and breathe life into dreams. And while success is never un-obtainable, it is ephemeral and notoriously fickle. So, when you reach for success, you need someone that will be there to help you grab it by the horns. Not with force or coercion, but with the agile hand of experience. Prudence is borne from experience, and just because you set sail into open water does not mean you have to travel alone. Choose to stand on the shoulders of experience, to let a weathered hand guide your way.

The Right Broker

Selecting the right broker is like finding that perfect hair stylist. Choose the wrong one and you are left scrambling to fix their mistakes. But choose the right one, and you will find someone that not only sees your potential but pulls it out with stunning results.

A Person That You Can Trust

When selecting a broker, you want a person that you can trust, a person with a cool head. Someone who can analyze your goals, and tailor solutions to your individual needs.  You need a broker that understands the nuanced nature of the business. A local broker who has been making dreams a reality for over 20 years, in the greater Los Angeles area. By skillfully negotiating contracts, and finding ways to put money back in your pocket.

Choose To Succeed

If you’re looking for the right CRE, don’t let the machinations of those who choose to only profit from your efforts rob you of your possibilities. Choose to succeed, by choosing a broker with over 20 years of established success.
