Full-Service NNN Investment | A-to-Z Property Acquisition | The ESS Group

From First Call
to First Rent Check.

Eli Satra Shans is a CA and AL licensed real estate broker who is also a licensed attorney — and he brings that sharp legal mindset directly to your benefit on every deal. Paired with an in-house loan broker, this is the only NNN team where that level of precision is built in from the start.

The A-to-Z Journey

From your very first call to monthly rent checks — here's exactly how we get you there.

Step 1

Initial No-Obligation Consult

Initial No-Obligation Consult
  • Review your current property, tax exposure, and financial goals
  • Confirm 1031 eligibility and structure (relinquished property review)
  • Discuss NNN as a passive income vehicle vs. your alternatives
  • No pitch. Pure strategy. No pressure.

This is the most crucial step — Eli takes this call personally, bringing his full brokerage expertise and legal-background precision to your situation from minute one.

Step 2

Deal Identification & Selection

Broker — Off-Market Access
  • Access to off-market inventory and our private developer pipeline
  • Curated shortlist of 3–5 properties matching your yield, location, and brand preferences
  • Detailed underwriting: CAP rate, rent escalations, lease term remaining, guarantor financials
  • Your 45-day 1031 identification window is fully covered — we move fast.

We provide you access to properties not available to the public — fresh 25-year leases, no competing bidders.

Step 3

Financing & Pre-Approval

Loan Broker — NNN Specialists
  • In-house loan broker with relationships at NNN-specific lenders
  • Optimal leverage structures for net lease assets (typically 60–85% LTV)
  • We negotiate rates and terms — you review and sign.

Most investors waste 2–3 weeks coordinating between their broker and their lender. We eliminate that entirely.

Step 4

Due Diligence & Contract

Sharp Review — Every Detail
  • Full lease audit: rent bumps, co-tenancy clauses, dark clauses, exclusivity provisions
  • Title review, environmental phase I coordination, survey analysis
  • Purchase and sale agreement drafted and negotiated — your terms, your protections
  • 1031 Qualified Intermediary coordination and timeline compliance verification

Other brokers hand you off to an outside attorney at this stage. We never leave the table.

Step 5

Close & Start Collecting

Full Circle — Turnkey
  • Closing coordination from escrow through final signature
  • Tenant introduction and rent commencement verification
  • First check arrives — corporate-guaranteed, directly deposited
  • Zero landlord responsibilities from this point forward.

And when it's time to sell or exchange again in 15–25 years, we're your first call. That's the relationship.

What Sets Us Apart

Broker With a Legal Edge

Eli is your CA & AL licensed real estate broker — and a CA-licensed attorney. Every contract, lease, and negotiation benefits from a level of legal sharpness no standard broker can match.

Off-Market Deal Access

Through direct NNN developer relationships, we carry 100+ off-market properties at any given time — brand-new construction with fresh 25-year leases that never reach public listing sites.

1031 Exchange Management

We manage the full exchange cycle — identification, replacement, escrow, and close — all within your 45/180-day windows. We've closed exchanges in as few as 11 days.

In-House Financing

Our in-house loan broker sources NNN-specific financing up to 80% LTV, with interest-only periods and rates fixed for up to 10 years. No outside lender coordination — we handle it all.

Full Due Diligence, In-House

Title review, survey analysis, environmental reports, lease audits, and closing document review — all managed internally. Nothing outsourced, nothing missed.

Your Advocate, Start to Finish

We work exclusively for buyers — never sellers. Every client works directly with Eli, not a junior agent. Your interests are the only ones on the table, from first call to closing.
