Founded in 2014 by Brett Lyon and Woody Stahl, Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate has grown from a two-person office in El Segundo into one of the most active multifamily investment brokerages in Southern California. 125+ agents. 4 offices. Over $5.9 billion closed across more than 3,600 transactions.

We started this firm because we believed there was a better way to do this. Better market intelligence, better strategy, and actually showing up for the people you work with. We specialize in multifamily acquisitions, dispositions, and 1031 exchanges across Los Angeles, Long Beach, the South Bay, and the Inland Empire. We’re not just here to close deals. We’re here to help our clients build real wealth over time.

Our culture is genuinely different. This is a team that shares what it knows, celebrates when someone wins, and doesn’t believe in gatekeeping. Knowledge flows freely here because we figured out a long time ago that a rising tide lifts all boats. When one of us wins, we all win.

For investors and property owners, you’re working with agents who are deeply embedded in the Southern California multifamily market and backed by a team that actually collaborates. We share market intelligence, talk through deals together, and that collective knowledge is what helps us find opportunities and get transactions closed. We know the submarkets, the owners, and often the deals before they hit the open market.

For agents who want to build something real: this is a place where you’re surrounded by people who push you, share what they know, and genuinely want to see you grow. The infrastructure, the coaching, and the culture are all here. You just have to show up.

Good work gets noticed. Lyon Stahl has been named a CoStar Power Broker Top Sales Firm in Los Angeles in 2023, 2024, and 2025, recognized by GlobeSt. as a 2025 Influencer in Multifamily, honored by LA Times Studios as a 2025 Top Commercial Real Estate Firm, and listed among Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing private companies.
