Long Beach, Calif. September 9, 2021 – Stepp Commercial, a leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Los Angeles market, has completed the $4.39 million portfolio sale of two apartment properties located in the Eastside submarket of Long Beach, CA. 

Principal Robert Stepp and Senior Investment Associate Travis Traweek of Stepp Commercial represented the seller, a Long Beach-based private investor, as well as the buyer, a San Diego-based private investor who paid all-cash. 

“These two assets are situated about a mile from each other and offered the new buyer the opportunity to expand its Long Beach area portfolio,” said Stepp.

“The seller had owned the properties for 25 years and determined that it was time to seek a higher return on his equity,” said Traweek.
