Frequently Asked Questions

Working with David Kaufman
What areas do you cover in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley?+
David represents clients across the greater Los Angeles area, with deep focus on the San Fernando Valley — Sherman Oaks, Encino, Studio City, Woodland Hills, Universal City, Burbank, Glendale, and the surrounding submarkets. His office coverage extends throughout LA North and Ventura County.
Why should we choose you over other commercial real estate brokers?+
David combines a proactive approach with creative problem-solving to create exceptional value for every client. Rather than simply presenting listings, he educates clients with real market intelligence, represents their interests in every negotiation, and manages all phases of the transaction personally — so you make informed, confident decisions.
What types of businesses and clients do you work with?+
David works with both tenants and landlords across a wide range of industries — professional services, healthcare, finance, technology, manufacturing, and retail among them. His client roster spans established firms and investors as well as growing companies seeking their next space.
Do you work with startups and growing companies?+
Absolutely. David regularly helps startups and expanding businesses find flexible space that fits their stage and budget, and structures lease terms that leave room to grow. He advises on the tradeoffs between short-term flexibility and long-term commitment so your real estate supports the business rather than constraining it.
What does a typical commercial real estate transaction look like?+
It begins with a conversation about your needs, timeline, and budget. David then researches the market, tours qualified spaces with you, and shortlists the best fits. From there he negotiates terms, coordinates with attorneys and space planners as needed, and manages the process through lease execution or closing — keeping you informed at every step.
How do you help businesses find the right office, industrial, retail, or flex space in the San Fernando Valley?+
David pairs current market data with hands-on knowledge of Valley submarkets to match you with space that fits your operations, budget, and growth plans. Using tools like the Property Finder on this site, he surfaces active listings — and off-market opportunities — then guides you through touring, comparing, and negotiating to secure the right space on the right terms.
Can you share examples of past transactions or client success stories?+
Yes — David has represented clients including Jamison Services, Evolution Strategic Partners, Lowe Enterprises, Noble Gold Investments, and many others. Recent closed transactions are featured on the My Work page, and he's happy to walk through relevant case studies during an initial consultation.
How do I start working with you, and what information should I have ready?+
Just reach out by phone or email below. It helps to have a rough sense of your target size (square footage), budget, preferred submarkets, desired move-in timeline, and lease-versus-purchase preference — but David can help you define these too. Start anytime with the Property Finder to browse what's available.
