Honolulu Apartment & Multi-Family Specialist

Get Maximum Value When Selling Your Honolulu Apartment Building.

Selling a multi-unit property on Oahu comes with unique challenges—from protecting long-term tenant relationships to managing capital gains taxes. Whether you are selling a long-held family estate or completing a 1031 exchange, I provide direct, hands-on guidance to ensure your building sells for top dollar on terms that protect your proceeds.

Looking Beyond Basic Rent Comps

Generic estimates often undervalue older Honolulu properties. I review your actual income, explore simple operational improvements, and factor in zoning upside so buyers pay for your building’s real future potential, not just yesterday's numbers.

Shorter Timelines, Less Friction

Instead of just putting a sign out or relying on generic websites, I bring your property directly to a private network of vetted local buyers and 1031 exchange investors ready to buy with clean, qualified financing.

No Surprises, No Mid-Escrow Price Cuts

You work directly with me—never an assistant. I personally manage buyer walkthroughs, handle inspection negotiations, and navigate title or lease complexities so your deal closes smoothly without last-minute price reductions.

Real Results for Hawaii Property Owners & Families

Roberta Lim

My family interviewed several commercial brokerage firms to sell our 8 unit apartment. Matt Raff from Standard Commercial stood out by far with his experience, knowledge and professionalism. We communicated well in all aspects of the transaction and was very pleased with the outcome.

When I think of a multifamily investment expert in Hawaii, one name comes to mind. Matt Raff! Absolutely an expert in his craft. Highest recommendations!!!

Vince Miyagawa

Our selection of Matt Raff to sell our apartment complex has become an amazing and rewarding experience. Matt’s professionalism and investment property market familiarity enhanced our confidence in the marketing strategy he proposed and executed flawlessly. Matt provided guidance relating to offers received, proposed counteroffers, and ultimately resulted in the sale of our property above asking price. We are truly indebted to Matt for his dedication to fulfill our sales goals.

Bobby Lim

After many decades of ownership of our family’s apartment building, we assumed we would need to spend money renovating it in order to sell it for our desired price. Matt advised us that he could market it to strong buyers and sell it for top dollar without us needing to spend money on it, and he was right. Matt brought us many attractive offers and expertly managed our escrow process with multiple different buyers. My family has now hired Matt to sell 2 separate properties for us, and we have really benefitted from his advice and guidance throughout both transactions

Cynthia Lee

When it came time to sell the building I grew up in, we trusted Matt Raff. He helped us understand our property's changing value over the last several years, knew our market better than anyone, and had sold dozens of buildings just like ours. He delivered exactly what he promised.

Steve Heimler

Matt navigated the transaction to a successful conclusion on our behalf and we are both surprised and pleased at the result. Highly recommend Matt to any seller in this market

Owner

Our family had owned the property for decades, and with nine different stakeholders, we faced complex legal, tax, and emotional hurdles. Matt was patient, strategic, and connected us to top experts. When we were ready to sell, his process brought in multiple offers and secured an all-cash buyer at a price we didn’t think possible. He is a rock star in his ability to negotiate complex situations. His guidance turned a difficult situation into a successful exit for everyone involved.
