Founded in 2002, Dy Associates is a small and personal real estate brokerage, aiming to
provide every client with insightful guidance and professional service from decades of personal real
estate and investment experience.
As significant property investors, Lani and Nick understand what's important for buyers,
sellers and those needing property management from an experienced owner's perspective.
We have a network of financiers helping us to establish a successful commercial
real estate and investment property business.
Through the recent downturn in demand for commercial property, we have shifted our
day to day focus into residential sales, including short sales and bank owned property.
Now is a a great
time for savvy investors to expand their portfolio through undervalued short sale and bank owned properties.
Our experience in commercial and investment properties can help you select better returns and future
potential.
