Brokerage Services
Lapham Company's unique approach to real property asset management, which includes the acquisition, operations, and disposition of property serves its client's overall best interest in comprehensive fashion. We understand the intimate relationship between the investment property acquisition or disposition process and the management of the asset as related to value creation or enhancement. Our goal is not to simply purchase or sell a property, but to assist in directing the property to meet its financial objectives, both short and long term. We have refined and followed this practice for multiple generations of clients.
Lapham Company has participated in the sale of over $100 Million in apartment properties in the 2007 & 2008 alone, with a majority of the sales located in Oakland . We work very closely in collaboration with the area's premier investment property brokers, and we value those continued relationships.
