Al is a person of integrity, ethics and honesty. The underwriting and assumptions in Offering memorandum and BOV are precise and covers most of the current market conditions. In last 18 months, we have purchased and closed 6 properties with him and it has been a seamless process end to end. He has a great team to support his clients during and after the transaction to ensure there are no bitter moments whatsoever. We would love to continue to work with him in future both as buyer and seller.

For the last several years Madera has had the opportunity to work with Al on a number of multi-family projects. Al is a focused professional who works hard to solve the variety of surprises that arise on every deal that could derail a real estate closing. He is balanced and ethical for both parties in the transaction and we have complete confidence in his skill set for managing a complex multi-family transaction.

We have known Al Silva for over 5 years and have always known him to be an outstanding real estate advisor and has been critical in aiding our company’s growth over that time period. Al and his team have always gone above and beyond what most in the industry do and we view Al and his team as true advisors. Al is one of the few commercial estate professionals that truly advises their clients on the value of the property on both the buy and the sell side. We have continuously found his team to be extremely detail oriented and they fully understand all aspects of the property they are selling and the market surrounding each one. We very much look forward to continuing to pursue any transaction that he is marketing and further selling our assets through him well into the future.

Over during a 12-month period ending February 2018 we completed five transactions totaling nearly 800 units with Al Silva and his team. During this time, he listed and sold one of our Ft. Worth apartment projects at a terrific price (one that he pledged to achieve at the onset of the assignment); and then assisted us in the purchase of four additional Dallas properties from unrelated sellers that allowed us to satisfy three different 1031 exchanges. Three of these acquisitions were closed within one week of each other.
Due to the complexity and the unique character of our exchanges as well as the number of properties we acquired simultaneously, we were under enormous logistical and timing pressure. Al brought great skill to bear in working with us to ensure that the process went as smooth as possible. Additionally, he and his team were unflaggingly patient, going above and beyond the call of duty repeatedly to bring all five transactions to highly successful completions. Throughout all, he consistently carried himself with the utmost integrity and attention to detail.
We could not be more pleased with Al as our representative, both as sellers and buyers. We highly recommend Al Silva.

We have successfully concluded several transactions with Al Silva and the Silva Multifamily Team. Our group are long term holders, so the number of annual transactions we have exercised over our 30 years in DFW are minimal. We have acquired two properties marketed by Al Silva and we have sold four properties we listed with Al.
The Silva Team is diligent about marketing properties. When asked questions regarding properties we have considered acquiring they quickly provided the best responses possible. I felt that all the members of the team we have dealt with made every effort to understand our requirements and to relay our comments, questions and qualifications to the Seller. When we listed properties with Al we were kept abreast of Buyers comments, questions and qualifications. The team showed great respect to our onsite staff and that made the sales process much easier.
We have experienced buy and sell transactions with many commercial brokers over the last 30 years and none were more professional than Al Silva and the members of his team.

Thank you for all your hard work on this deal! It was truly a great outcome for both parties, and we’re happy to have closed this one so quickly considering all the loan assumption logistics. It was great working with you and your team on this one. Thanks again for all your efforts – from the BOV through closing! Wish you and your team all the best going forward, and I hope we get to work together again in the future.

Al has successfully managed the sale of three multifamily properties for Price Realty over the past couple of years totaling over $20 million, including some very challenging assignments. During each transaction Al stayed focused and engaged and was able to bring well qualified buyers to the table, resulting in a smooth transaction for each property. Al met or exceeded our expectations in every way and we look forward to working with him again on another deal soon!

After interviewing several brokers, we recently hired Al to sell our property. We felt he was completely transparent and genuine in his views on the property, where it would ultimately trade, and trusted him to do what he said he could do. But, what impressed us most was how he performed after getting the listing. He was aggressive in getting the property to market, touring it, and ultimately in following up on any issue or concern from our side. We ultimately sold above list price, at a per unit price that was at the top of the submarket, and closed in less than 45 days. Al beat our expectations in every way and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Al on the sale of one of our multifamily assets. Al worked diligently to bring qualified buyers to the table, which resulted in a successful sale of our property. Al worked hard to make sure that the closing went as planned and to solve any problems that arose during the process. Al was always responsive and professional, and he has earned our trust and confidence. We look forward to working with him again in the future.

I have known Al, for 10 years. He has represented Fifteen Group on the sales side of transactions. Al and his team have been able to successfully market and sell our assets, which includes challenging assets in challenging markets. I have known Al to be forthright and honest in his asset valuations and has never “brokered” us as a seller in order to win an assignment. He understands the challenges that each deal has and has been successful in getting the transaction closed. We look forward to many more years of doing business with Al and his team.

Al Silva and his team at Marcus & Millichap were very effective and flexible to get our sale done of an Irving, Texas multiresidential property. During the course of escrow, there were several additional addenda and a flex in financial terms required to get the sale done promptly, all of which was driven by Al for a good result for the seller. We will definitely utilize Al and his team in connection with a second Dallas property when it comes time to sell!

Al is a broker unlike the usual. In an industry where obtaining reliable data and advice is a rarity, Al defines the meaning of integrity and trust throughout the entire sales and acquisition process. Al takes the required time to understand the specific needs of each client. Al does the same on the Seller front in terms of setting expectations that are realistic and achievable. Knowing that every deal that Al brings me is going to fit my parameters and be worthy of consideration significantly reduces time that is wasted during the evaluation process. I would highly recommend the services from Al for anyone that is a serious buyer of quality assets and fair and reasonable prices. Al is far more than a broker; he is a trusted advisor focused on building long term, sustainable relationships.

We have worked on a number of Multifamily transactions with Al Silva within the last several years. The first time he listed a property for us I was a little bit skeptical about whether or not he could deliver the price he suggested listing the property for. He assured me he could and told me he would get it sold for full list price and get it closed within 60 days. The property was under contract within 30 days and closed within 60 days. Based on that experience I recently gave him another assignment on a larger transaction. We were under the gun with our lender and needed a quick sale but didn’t want a “fire sale” price. He completed his analysis and suggested a list price that was very aggressive. He said he could get it sold and closed within 90 days for a price that was far more than we thought possible. The property was under contract within 30 days and closed on an all cash basis 30 days afterwards. I have found him to be very professional, competent and extremely knowledgeable on the sale of multifamily properties. I feel confident we will work with him again in the future. Feel free to contact me if you would like a reference.

Al, My experience in working with you to sell one of my large multi-family assets was very satisfactory. Your persistence in your effort to land the listing, and your follow up and performance during the brief marketing period, was true to everything you said in your presentation to get the listing. Also, your correct analysis of the market led to a successful closing at the level you forecast. You’re an “A” in my book.
