Over the past 10 years, A.J. has sold more than 450 multifamily apartment properties and 34,000 units, representing greater than $1.5 Billion in transactional sales revenue.

He has a deep understanding of available default resolution strategies for government-aligned property assets, including HUD, Rural Development, and LIHTC affiliations. While A.J.’s sales performance in terms of the number of units and transactional volume are impressive, his experience in working with clients to successfully close the multitude of complex dispositions is notable and highly regarded across the multifamily industry.
A.J.’s industry achievements have positioned him to receive several top awards by the various multifamily trade organizations, including the prestigious “Top Broker Award” in 2016, 2020 and 2022 (CoStar Power Broker), and the highly regarded “Top Deal Maker” award in 2012 (LoopNet).

A.J. heads the multifamily market effort in the state of Ohio as the managing broker, and is a licensed associate broker in Michigan.
