Silber Investment Properties

What Silber Investment Properties does

Silber Investment Properties (SIP) is a private commercial real estate brokerage firm headquartered in Plainview, New York, with a second office in La Jolla, California. Founded in 1987 by Adam Silber after his MBA from Hofstra University, the firm specializes in the acquisition and disposition of retail investment properties, ranging from large grocery-anchored shopping centers (e.g., $63 million Sunset Plaza) to single-tenant assets such as 7-Eleven, CVS, Walgreens, Starbucks and McDonald's locations. SIP represents both buyers and sellers — including REITs, large corporations, family trusts, developers, and private investors — across transactions structured for outright sale, portfolio acquisitions, and 1031 exchanges. Its revenue is generated through transaction-based brokerage commissions, with per-deal fees negotiated against property value and complexity.

The firm is organized around two complementary distribution channels: a regional Long Island / NYC Metro Area practice built on deep local market expertise, and a National Net Leased Division established in 2008 that brokers Triple-Net (NNN) properties across the United States from New York to Florida and California. Its product offering comprises three core lines — Retail Investment Property Brokerage, the National Net Leased Division, and 1031 Exchange Services — supported by a marketing program that includes a corporate website, The Buzz content blog, press releases, and event attendance at ICSC conferences.

Silber has grown from a four-person boutique into a 30+ broker operation, anchored by multi-decade relationships (most notably 20+ years and 300+ deals with Petrakis Realty Group) and a bench that includes second-generation leadership. The firm has brokered thousands of transactions cumulatively valued at over $4 billion and has materially expanded its physical footprint, including a 2018 relocation to a 12,000 sq ft headquarters designed for collaborative team growth. Ownership remains with founder Adam Silber, with no institutional capital, fundraising, or parent-company structure in place.
