Jonathan Brody and Michael Schattner founded BASE Realty Group in mid-2023, during a period of extreme volatility in debt markets. The firm specializes in off-market multifamily transactions across the United States.
Over the past five years, Brody and Schattner collectively closed over $3 billion in multifamily transactions. In 2025 alone, BASE Realty Group closed more than $330 million in 12 off-market deals across eight different states.
Notable transactions include the $30.9-million sale of Shawnee Station in Shawnee, KS; Stoneweg was the seller and Rocrest Holdings was the buyer. Another significant transaction was 7 Zero 6 Apartments in Cabot, AR, a 2022-built, 288-unit community that traded for $40 million. Meadows Corporation sold the asset to CLK Properties.
Additionally, BASE Realty Group facilitated the sale of Nexus Virginia in Virginia Beach, VA, a 2018-built, 268-unit property that sold for $62.8 million to Penzance.
These are some of the reasons we selected Jonathan Brody and Michael Schattner as Connect CRE’s New York & Tri-State Top Broker Award winners for 2026. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest standards and transaction volumes in investment sales and leasing.
