My sister and I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan Nikfarjam of Shield Commercial Real Estate on the recent sale of our 10-unit rental property in Huntington Beach, California. We had previously worked with Jonathan on the sale of a 4-unit rental property in Gardena in April 2019, and once again we were extremely impressed. Jonathan, along with Mike O’Neill and the team of Orange County professionals he brought together, provided exceptional service from an initial meeting in late June 2026, to the closing date of August 27, 2026. With their knowledge, professionalism, and patience, they guided us through every step of the process, from taking the time to explain the local market and appropriate sales strategy, to how to respond effectively to potential buyers’ offers. What could have been a stressful and drawn-out process given the uncertainty of the times felt entirely under control given their expertise in handling each stage of the sale. Their hard work, knowledge of the market, and detail-oriented approach helped us achieve an outcome that exceeded our expectations, especially with how quickly they identified potential buyers and brought the sale to a successful close. We would happily recommend Shield Commercial Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell a property, and we are very thankful for the outstanding service Jonathan, Mike, and the team provided.

Jonathan Nikfarjam represented us in the purchase of a multi-family property in Inglewood, California. This was our first time working with Jonathan, and he also served as the listing agent on the property. Going into the transaction, we understood that dual representation can sometimes create concerns about potential bias or conflicting interests. However, throughout the process, we found Jonathan to be honest, transparent, responsive, and knowledgeable. He was willing to answer detailed questions, provide clarification when issues arose, and help facilitate communication between all parties involved. We especially appreciated that he did not pressure us into decisions and was straightforward when discussing both the strengths and challenges associated with the property. Overall, we had a positive experience working with him and would be happy to work with him again in the future.

Jonathan first reached out to me nearly 18 years ago with a market update on my Gardena apartment building. Every few months, he consistently followed up with valuable insights on local sales, rents, and market trends. His knowledge, persistence, and attention to detail quickly set him apart. Over the years, Jonathan became a trusted advisor and helped me purchase a 12-unit apartment building in Torrance, as well as buy and sell several other properties throughout the South Bay. He is exceptionally well connected, highly skilled with 1031 exchanges, and manages every step of the process with professionalism and ease. Jonathan is a pleasure to work with, follows through on every detail, and makes what can be a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend him.

Jonathan was an excellent real estate agent throughout my purchase. He was very knowledgeable, responsive, and did a great job helping me navigate the entire transaction from start to finish. He stayed on top of every detail, communicated clearly, and made the process smooth and stress-free. I’d highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a reliable and professional agent.

I was first introduced to Jonathan through a mutual client of ours after Jonathan sold several apartment buildings for him in the LA market. The client exclusively uses Jonathan for selling all of his apartment buildings and works with me for all of his 1031 exchanges to buy NNN properties. Recently, Jonathan and I co-brokered a NNN deal in Texas for one of his other clients who sold apartments with him in the South Bay area to 1031 exchange out of state into a more passive investment. The transaction was seamless and the client is very happy with the result. Jonathan did a great job in asking thoughtful questions throughout the process, keeping a close eye on our timelines, following up with everyone to make sure things get done in timely fashion, and is always placing his client’s needs first. He is a great professional and pleasure to work with, probably one of the most detail-oriented people I have collaborated with.
