The Mogharebi Group, one of California’s leading multifamily brokerage and advisory firms has established its first office in Seattle under the direction of veteran brokers Robert Parmar and Ryan Kidwell, who have joined the firm to lead its expansion into the Pacific Northwest.   

The Seattle office marks the second of five new Western U.S. markets that The Mogharebi Group plans to enter over the next three years, following the opening of the Salt Lake City office in April 2021. 

“We are seeing a substantial increase in demand from our clients for multifamily properties in Seattle,” said founder Alex Mogharebi.    “The Pacific Northwest is going through a significant growth spurt and is largely viewed as a more attractive alternative to the Southwest in terms of affordability and lifestyle.  Our new Seattle office will be the point of expansion for our coverage in the Pacific Northwest as an increasing number of our clients are demanding our services. Robert and Ryan share our business philosophy, which is why they are a perfect fit to lead the office in Seattle.” 

Parmar joins The Mogharebi Group from Summerfield Companies, which he founded more than 20 years ago. He has established a remarkable reputation with his clients through overseeing all aspects of new business development, including investment, brokerage, and management in multifamily assets. 

Kidwell brings more than 15 years of commercial real estate investment experience to The Mogharebi Group, most recently as Managing Broker at Summerfield Companies alongside Parmar, where he managed the sales team as they brokered the purchase and sale of large multifamily investments. 

“Our goal is to help our clients through The Mogharebi Group’s full-service advisory platform,” says Parmar. “Having a team of motivated, reliable self-starters combined with an integrated shared platform, while utilizing quality-control methods allows us to meet and exceed each client’s investment goals and cultivate wealth creation that’s available in the Pacific Northwest.”

Founded in 2016 by Alex Mogharebi, one of the top producing multifamily brokers in the U.S., The Mogharebi Group is a vertically integrated real estate services firm specializing in multifamily investment sales, financing and advisory services.   In its brief five-year history, the firm has closed in excess of $6 billion in transactions representing more than 66,000 apartment units throughout California with close to $1 billion in exclusively listed revolving inventory.   

Salt Lake City is the first of five new Western U.S. markets that the firm plans to enter over the next three years, according to Mogharebi.

“We have worked very hard to develop a corporate culture and collaborative approach that is very different from the typical real estate brokerage firm model,” he said.   “With far fewer professionals than our competition, we have consistently demonstrated an ability to execute transactions that maximize our clients’ returns.  While we are targeting several new markets, it is critical to team up with the right person so as not to disrupt our culture.  Adam was the perfect fit join our team and lead our new office in Salt Lake City.” 

Gatto joins The Mogharebi Group from Colliers International, where he has spent the past seven years guiding its Salt Lake City office.  With more than 20 years of real estate investment banking experience, Gatto is responsible for more than $1 billion in multifamily and hotel sales transactions throughout the Mountain West region of the United States.  While the Salt Lake City office will focus primarily on multifamily, Gatto also will be responsible for broadening The Mogharebi Group’s hospitality advisory services.  

“I’ve known and respected Alex for a long time,” said Gatto.   “Over the last several months we have talked about how the Salt Lake City market is now ready for The Mogharebi Group’s full-service advisory platform and how much I wanted to be a part of it.  From our base here, we are going to expose our clients to the myriad opportunities for wealth creation that exist in the intermountain west region.”
