Max Sharkansky, co-founder and managing partner, oversees all aspects of acquisition, disposition, and property analysis for Trion Properties. Since the firm’s founding in 2005, Max has led the acquisition, renovation and disposition of more than $1 Billion in mismanaged, distressed, or under-valued multifamily assets yielding an average IRR in excess of 25%.

Max, along with partner Mitch Paskover, initially formed the Company to acquire properties in Los Angeles. Max led Trion in the execution of several acquisitions in the firm’s first two years of existence, exiting the portfolio prior to the economic crisis. With cash on hand and no resources tied up in workouts, Max led an acquisition strategy of targeting distressed debt secured by multifamily REO’s, which led to the ultra-successful campaign of the acquisition of 20 properties throughout the downturn. Since the recovery, Trion has shifted strategies to the acquisition of value-add properties where value can be created through extensive renovations, hands-on management, and improvement of operating efficiencies. Max’s ability to identify then acquire distressed multifamily properties and his expertise in the marketplace have been instrumental in the success of Trion Properties.

Prior to co-founding Trion Properties, Max was a Senior Associate at Marcus & Millichap from 2002-2006 where he managed the sale of several million dollars in real estate throughout the United States, specifically in the multifamily arena, elevating him to one of the top-ranking brokers in Los Angeles.

Max graduated from Loyola Marymount University where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis on Finance.
