ABOUT US

Since 1994, MacVaugh & Co. has been a trusted leader in landlord and tenant representation, as well as property management, throughout the San Gabriel Valley.

What sets us apart from other firmsβ€”and allows us to compete with the industry's biggest names? Our unmatched expertise in Pasadena and the surrounding areas, our diverse team, and the distinct advantages of being a boutique firm. We combine the best of both worlds: seasoned professionals with 30+ years of experience, classically trained in the fundamentals of real estateβ€”door-knocking, printed marketing, and personal relationship-buildingβ€”alongside a new generation of agents who bring fresh, innovative strategies.

Our team stays ahead of market trends, leveraging cutting-edge marketing and industry insights to elevate both our firm and our clients. This balance of experience and innovation creates a dynamic, collaborative environment where every client benefits from our collective knowledge and dedication.

We are a tight-knit team of passionate, results-driven professionals, committed to meeting your real estate needs. Whether you're looking for expertise in office, land, retail, restaurant, or industrial properties, we’re here to provide strategic guidance and solutions tailored to your success. With exclusive access to real estate ownership data across the Greater Los Angeles area, MacVaugh & Co. is your trusted partner in navigating the commercial real estate market with confidence.

OUR SERVICES

  • At MacVaugh & Co., we take a strategic approach to every property, identifying its unique challenges, crafting a tailored plan, and executing it with precision.

    We prioritize the owner's goalsβ€”whether that means maximizing cash flow with short-term leases, securing high face-rates to enhance property value, or pre-leasing a development project for long-term success. Our deep market knowledge allows us to anticipate demand and shape offerings that align with current trends, ensuring optimal results for our clients.

  • Do you understand the ramifications of rentable vs. usable square feet, pass-through of operating expenses, holdover or non-disturbance? Do you know what β€œmarket” concessions are? Have you been through the space planning and construction process? As commercial real estate agents, we have our pulse on the market: We know what’ is available and often times we have negotiated with the Property Owner or his Agent before. Do you want the landlord’s broker negotiating on your behalf? Landlords have representation, so why shouldn’t you?

  • MacVaugh & Co. has successfully represented buyers and sellers across office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties. We specialize in the San Gabriel Valley, giving us an in-depth understanding of property values, emerging market trends, and key investment opportunities. Our long-standing relationships with property owners, investors, and developers allow us to connect buyers and sellers efficiently, often before properties even hit the market.

  • Property Management is a thankless job. No one calls to say that the air conditioning is running perfectly, that the maintenance crew has the common area restrooms looking spotless, or that the common area lighting is especially bright. We take away the hassles of property ownership, from building operations and maintenance, to property accounting, contract management, and oversight of tenant improvements. We specialize in Class B office buildings, flex/industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers. Have your tenants call MacVaugh & Co., they will thank you.

  • Thinking of selling, refinancing, or establishing a property’s value for estate purposes? While MacVaugh & Co. is not an appraisal firm, our deep market expertise allows us to provide a well-informed estimate of your property’s potential value with the right marketing and time.

    Our process is faster and more cost-effective than a full appraisal. We have conducted Broker Price Opinions (BPOs) for lending institutions and property owners and have been trusted to determine market value for lease options. When you need a clear, data-driven valuation, MacVaugh & Co. is here to help.
