A 30-year legacy of partnership in California commercial real estate.
K2 was built on one principle: treat every client's asset as your own. From a single Downtown Los Angeles office in 1994 to clients across California, the firm has grown without ever giving up its boutique character.
Not the largest firm by design. Boutique by conviction.
K2 Investment Inc. began in the Fashion, Flower and Garment Districts of Downtown Los Angeles and has worked those blocks continuously ever since — through the dot-com era, the 2008 crisis, the DTLA revival, COVID and today's market reset. We chose customised service over volume, and that structure is our competitive advantage: every client works directly with senior people who have seen the full cycle before.
Downtown is our proof, not our perimeter. The same boutique representation serves clients across Los Angeles and California — including our Napa Valley land and estate practice — wherever an owner or investor wants a specialist rather than a sales floor.

Bobak founded K2 in 1994 on the belief that boutique clients deserve a broker who invests in their success the way an owner invests in their own assets. Three decades later, his track record spans hundreds of commercial transactions in Downtown Los Angeles and land acquisitions in Napa Valley.
His practice covers commercial sales and acquisitions, investment analysis, 1031 exchange representation, foreign-buyer guidance and property management. Every client receives Bobak's direct attention — there are no hand-offs to junior agents.
