About Jason
Jason Matatiaho's practice is built on rigorous financial analysis, off-market deal sourcing, and a relentless commitment to client success.
After graduating magna cum laude from the University of Georgia, Jason relocated to Los Angeles to focus exclusively on multifamily investment real estate. He recognized early that apartment buildings represent one of the most compelling investment opportunities in real estate—combining steady cash flow with long-term appreciation potential.
As a broker with Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate, Jason combines deep local market knowledge with a data-driven approach to deliver exceptional results for his clients. He specializes in the Los Angeles multifamily market, with particular expertise in the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, Mid-Wilshire, and surrounding areas.
Jason works with a diverse client base including first-time investors looking to build wealth through real estate, long-term property owners considering their exit strategy, and experienced investors executing complex 1031 exchanges. He also works extensively with trust attorneys, estate planners, and fiduciaries on property dispositions requiring court-ready documentation and defensible sale processes. His analytical background and market expertise help clients make informed decisions and achieve their investment goals.

What Clients Say
View All Testimonials →“After holding my 27-unit building in Encino for nearly 30 years, I knew it was time to sell but wasn't sure I'd find a broker who truly understood the San Fernando Valley market inside and out. He positioned the property correctly from day one, attracting serious buyers who understood the value. His negotiation skills were exceptional—we closed at a price that exceeded my expectations. The entire process was handled with professionalism I rarely see in this business.”
“We inherited a 12-unit building and were overwhelmed by the responsibility. Jason walked us through everything—from reviewing the rent roll to understanding how the LA rent stabilization ordinance would affect the sale. He was patient with our questions and kept us informed at every step. The transaction closed smoothly, and we felt confident we got fair market value.”
“What impressed me most about Jason was that he actually knew the neighborhood—he could speak to recent comparable sales without looking anything up. His marketing was thorough, and he brought qualified buyers quickly. What I appreciated most was his honesty about pricing; he didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear.”
