Yagnesh developed a keen interest in Commercial Real Estate when he interned for a prominent NYC developer during his sophomore year of college. After tackling a series of internships/jobs in the financial services industry, Yagnesh realized that his curiosity consistently channeled Commercial Real Estate. To fulfill his newly discovered passion, he decided to pursue a position as an Investment Sales Associate at Itzhaki Properties; which he believed will provide him with ubiquitous knowledge of the NYC Commercial Real Estate market, Real Estate Transactions and Valuation. Rightfully so, Yagnesh gained a comprehensive understanding of the Commercial Real Estate eco-system; the landscape of NYC marketplace; and intricacies of the deal making process. ? Although he gained a vast amount of experience in a short period, he lacked understanding of the acquisition process, hence found himself at crossroads while articulating the value proposition of potential transactions to buyers and sellers. To fill this knowledge gap, Yagnesh switched into an acquisitions role at a Luxury Real Estate Development firm focused in NYC. Here, Yagnesh sourced and underwrote prospective real estate transaction(s) catered to meet a series of investment criteria(s), consequently gaining a thorough understanding of the acquisitions process. After a productive stint as an acquisitions associate, Yagnesh then transitioned back to the brokerage business and joined EPIC Commercial (Formerly Itzhaki Properties), where he managed a team and facilitated transactions amongst a wide range of sellers and buyers, across an array of asset classes and transaction types. ? Although Yagnesh along with his co-founders, thrived in their previous roles, they were unable to ignore the unwavering lack of streamlined deal-making processes and market transparency which clouds the commercial real estate ecosystem; despite the existence of transformational technology tools which can sufficiently pave the way to a progressively efficient marketplace. Based on this premise, Yagnesh along with his co-founders set off on a mission to launch XRE. ? Aside from work, Yagnesh loves hanging out with his family and friends. He frequently travels to India, to visit his family; he is fluent in Telugu, Tamil and is working on getting better at Hindi. He currently lives in Weehawken NJ; he is an ardent NY Jets fan and a proud supporter of Seton Hall Basketball.
