As Southern California’s Multifamily Market Gains Strength, The Ponce Real Estate Group Expands Its Powerhouse Team

With Southern California’s apartment investment market showing clear signs of a comeback, The Ponce Real Estate Group is charging forward—bolstering its multifamily division with top-tier talent to meet the surge in middle-market activity.

We’re proud to announce that Anna Khomut has rejoined Coldwell Banker Commercial’s Ponce Real Estate Group as a partner, bringing her sharp market acumen and proven track record back to the firm. Based out of Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, and Beverly Hills, Anna will work alongside founder Frank Ponce, with a focus on apartment assets across Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties.

This move comes at a pivotal moment. As institutional investors proceed with caution, private capital is stepping up, breathing new life into middle-market transactions and fueling a wave of renewed investor interest. With apartment deal volume rebounding to $6.5 billion over the past year—up from $4.6 billion the year before—the multifamily sector is clearly on an upward trajectory.

Anna brings a powerful combination of hands-on management and big-deal sophistication. She currently oversees more than 100 apartment units and is well-versed in landlord/tenant dynamics, giving her unique insight into operational challenges and value-add opportunities. Her earlier tenure as an associate with Josh Flagg, where she participated in $100 million-plus transactions in Beverly Hills, further deepens her understanding of complex, high-value deals.

“Anna’s return enhances our ability to guide clients through the fast-changing multifamily landscape with confidence, creativity, and precision,” said Frank Ponce. “Her knowledge and energy are exactly what’s needed as we help clients uncover value in rising submarkets that others may be overlooking.”

With vacancies trending down, luxury units attracting high-income renters, and pricing beginning to stabilize, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for multifamily investors—and The Ponce Real Estate Group is positioned at the forefront of that movement.

The middle market is no longer on the sidelines—it’s leading the charge. And with Anna Khomut back on board, we’re ready to help our clients win big.
