Senior Vice President & National Director
Matthews
Michael Pakravan doesn’t just close deals. He shows up at grand openings, supports tenant marketing and stays personally invested on both the tenant and landlord side long after the lease is signed. As senior vice president and national director of retail leasing, he leads a national platform of 30-plus agents while personally averaging 80 to 90 transactions per year. With nearly 25 years in the industry and deep roots in Los Angeles, Pakravan knows the neighborhoods, the tenants and the dealmakers – a market fluency beyond data that consistently delivers results other brokers can’t replicate.
Words To Describe Them: Community-driven, authentic, impactful, passionate, tenacious, strategic
From the Indispensable: “I grew up in Los Angeles. These neighborhoods aren’t just markets to me, they’re places I know and care about. Every deal I close is a business taking root somewhere in this city, and that means something. What drives me is knowing that the right tenant in the right space can genuinely change a block, a community, a brand’s entire trajectory. I’ve brokered over 1,000 transactions, and I still feel that. The relationships, the openings, the moments when it all comes together, that’s what makes this job so rewarding.”
