If you’re looking for a top‑notch real‑estate professional who truly understands the 4‑unit multifamily market, Luca is the agent you need. From our first conversation to closing day, Luca proved to be responsive, honest, patient, and an exceptional communicator—the exact qualities that make a real‑estate transaction smooth and stress‑free.

Working with Luca Jacoli from Shield CRE was a great experience as we purchased our first multi-family home in Los Angeles. He is highly efficient, approachable, and knowledgeable about the LA real estate market. Throughout the purchase process, he guided us patiently and kept us well informed at every step. We highly recommend Luca for your real estate investment explorations.

Luca and his team did a great job getting this deal across the finish line. This was not the easiest transaction — we went through multiple buyer situations, inspections, repair negotiations, lender/appraisal coordination, and a pretty tight timeline while I was preparing to leave the country. What I appreciated most was that Luca stayed engaged the entire time and kept the momentum going when the deal could have easily stalled. He was very hands-on with the buyers, responsive throughout the process, and did a good job managing all the moving pieces between escrow, lender, buyers, and tenants. I also felt like he understood multifamily and investment properties well, which made conversations much more productive compared to a typical residential transaction. He was realistic, strategic during negotiations, and ultimately helped get the deal closed smoothly. Overall, very solid experience and I’d definitely work with Luca again on future deals.

I have had the pleasure of working with Luca and his team for over 10 years. Luca combines deep market knowledge with a genuine commitment to his clients’ goals and is a true advocate for them at every step. He is proactive from start to finish on each transaction, navigating challenges seamlessly and keeping the process moving. I would confidently recommend Luca to anyone buying or selling apartments.

I recently sold a small apartment building where Luca Jacoli was the lead agent in a deal where he partnered with Nick Peters. This particular real estate deal went sideways in a number of ways, the most major of which was a disclosure issue. After I completed my sellers disclosure form, I asked if we could all review it prior to it being given to the buyer. But Luca's firm had set up a dropbox website where I was instructed to upload files and the buyer already had access to it. So when I uploaded my form, the buyer already had access to it so it was never reviewed. I should mention this was a dual agency deal which likely led to this set up. The bottom line is some EV Chargers that were currently not working were never disclosed to the buyer. Luca became aware that they weren't working but he never thought to bring this up as far as disclosing this fact. In the end, it took over 240 days AFTER escrow closed to finally clear this all up. 240 very stressful days. At no point did Luca think he had any responsibility in any of this at all. There were other issues as well such as Luca's inspector not inspecting EV Chargers and saying that there was galvanized pipes in both builds (which was untrue) which cost me money. There were a number of other issues as well. The bottom line is that the deal, for me, was a nightmare and Luca took no responsibility. I have known Luca for a long time. He is very motivated and knowledgeable. But in this case, things did not go smooth and somethings were just poorly handled. He was aware of the loose ends after the close of escrow but in all of those 240 days I never heard from him. I do not recommend him.
