The Four Pillars
Compliance
DC’s regulatory environment is complex — TOPA, DOPA, Rent Control, Rent Registry, BBL, inspections, and documentation requirements.
UMA helps owners understand exactly where they stand and what actions are required. With over a decade of experience, 390+ TOPA notices, and 133+ multifamily transactions, we bring unmatched clarity to compliance‑heavy buildings.
Value
Commercial-Grade Underwriting: Generic online tools cannot price multifamily buildings.
UMA provides institutional-grade valuation clarity that factors in complex rent-control metrics, tenant mix, and true operating performance.
Education (Focused on Compliance Gaps)
Owners already understand operations — what they need is clarity on the gaps that create risk.
UMA provides structured education on compliance requirements, regulatory changes, exit strategy planning, capital gains implications, eviction procedures, and documentation accuracy. Our ongoing seminars cover evictions, leases, TOPA, rent control, and exit strategy — giving owners the information they need before making major decisions.
Multifamily Sales (Strategic Exit Framework™)
DC multifamily owners with 4–20 units can list with any realtor — but most specialize in single‑family homes, not multifamily compliance, rent control, TOPA/DOPA, or valuation underwriting.
UMA brings 10+ years of DC multifamily expertise, a historic 10–14% market share, and deep experience navigating complex, tenant‑occupied sales. A specialist protects value, reduces risk, and delivers a cleaner exit through our Strategic Exit Framework™.
