Optimus Commercial specializes in the sale of single and multi-tenant net leased retail, multifamily, hospitality, and site selection, but have also represented clients in the office, vacant land, industrial, and other disciplines of commercial and residential real estate.
Prior to establishing Optimus, Kaplan obtained his license in 2011 and immediately began building his network at Sperry Van Ness. After a few years at SVN, Kaplan moved to Keller Williams Commercial where he was a co-founder and Senior Real Estate Investment Advisor for Team Optimus.
