RJ Przebinda and I first met at a CDA sponsored event. While speaking with RJ, his understanding of commercial lease negotiation and commercial real estate was very evident. Over the last few years RJ has helped me locate commercial property both for purchase and for lease. He has been engaged throughout every step of the process from helping to locate properties while pointing out the pros and cons to each location, to negotiating on my behalf and ensuring I am protected and never taken advantage of. He has been easily accessible and always available. I would highly recommend RJ to any dentist that is looking to lease space or acquire their own real estate for their practice.

Working with RJ Przebinda from Gold Leaf Group Healthcare Real Estate was a pleasure from start to finish. From the moment I called him and explained what I was looking for until the lease was signed, RJ made the time to walk me through every step and made it a seamless process. RJ genuinely cares about his clients and he managed to turn something stressful into a positive experience. He found me the perfect space in the exact location I had requested. I thought it was too good to be true! He also set the wheels in motion in a very timely manner so that I could be up and running quickly. It was also great to have RJ recommend his network of professionals to help with the next steps in the process. He's approachable and a team player. I'd recommend RJ to all of colleagues!

RJ Przebinda of Gold Leaf Group Healthcare Real Estate is the first person I think of when I look back to the start of building my practice. RJ’s character and invaluable expertise gave me the immediate confidence I needed to begin transforming my vision into tangible space. He thoroughly assessed every space with me and made sure that I was fully informed of the pros and cons of each space. Not once did I feel rushed into a decision. He truly wanted to make sure that I was completely comfortable with any decision I made. RJ had my best interest as his priority and this makes him exceptional. It has been three years since, and he still remains available to any questions I have regarding my lease! I can seriously write a book on how valuable RJ was in the start-up of my office. I am grateful that I met him at the start of my journey!

I was introduced to RJ through a friend about 4 years ago. I was interested in opening my own practice but I was not quite ready. RJ still took the time to answer all of my questions and make sure that I understood all of the things that I should be looking for in an office space. As a young professional, RJ enlightened me on what a successful dental office needs to look like. He traveled with me to many different locations and helped me to see all the pros and cons of each property. When the time came to submit an LOI for the perfect space, RJ made it so easy. Despite the back and forth with a difficult landlord, RJ helped them understand my investment in the property and my needs and helped me negotiate a lease that I was extremely happy to sign.As we walked through the process together, I truly felt that RJ was not just my real estate broker, but a close friend who has my interests in mind. I have an continue to refer all of my friends and colleagues in the dental field to RJ Przebinda from the Gold Leaf Group, as there is no one else I would trust more.

My law practice is focused on assisting healthcare providers, mostly dentists, with their business transactions. Many of these transactions include dental practice startups where I've been retained to assist dentists with their lease review. I've had the pleasure of working with RJ Przebinda of The Gold Leaf Group on many of these start ups. I've been in the trenches with him and have witnessed him help my clients determine the best location to meet their goals, find that location, and steadfastly negotiate the best deal for them. I've appreciated RJ's knowledge and experience in this niche space, consistently negotiating critical business points that an most real estate brokers would not have the foresight to address. His diligence and experience in the dental and medical arena greatly decreases the obstacles that I face in the lease review stage . More importantly my clients have appreciated the hard work and service RJ brings to a critical point in their career.
Levi Barlavi

Because he works hard, pays meticulous attention to detail, and know the market, RJ's negotiation abilities and real estate acumen surpass expectation. Like with all things, new business owners or seasoned owner expanding into new real estate don't know what they don't know. RJ minds the blind side for so many pitfalls I would never have seen coming until the lease was complete.

"Gold Leaf Group and RJ Przebinda came highly recommended from multiple contacts in the dental field and RJ has certainly lived up to his stellar reputation. He has a complete understanding on what makes a location an ideal location for opening up a dental office.

"RJ worked extremely well with all members of my team (Bank of America, Don Ray Construction, Ben Oliver from Patterson, and my attorney, Levi Barlavi) from start to end and was extremely knowledgeable and effective in negotiating lease terms. He is respectful, courteous and a delight to work with.

"I honestly think RJ is the best in the business and he is a great person. I am so grateful that I found him early on in the process and to this day, I am still getting compliments on the location of my office! Thank you RJ for all of your support, encouragement and advice to help me start out on the right foot!"

I retained Mr. RJ Przebinda as an expert witness for a business litigation matter involving a contested dental lease. RJ came recommended by a colleague due to his experience in the field of real estate for the dental and medical community. I can recommend RJ without hesitation. He is a preeminent authority on the dental premises leasing business. He did his homework of analyzing real estate market conditions in the market in question as well as the dental space in question. He, wrote a detailed and persuasive report, and testified in a calm, deliberate manner. My client received a larger award than we had even anticipated, thanks in large part to RJ's work.

My wife and I were introduced to RJ Przebinda of the Gold Leaf Group through a Henry Schein Dental representative (Al Galvis) and worked with him for about 6 months. We were not sure who to work with since it was our first office that was built from scratch. However, after initial meeting, we knew RJ was the one. We had many meetings for the evaluation of multiple locations of the office, many hours in CDA, several visits to different areas around Los Angeles, CA, and, most importantly, negotiating with a non-traditional, difficult landlord. He was there when we needed him. He not only collaborated well with Bank of America (my Lender) and with my lawyer, but also allowed me to get the most out of my practice, especially when my wife and I were both busy working in our associate positions at the other offices. Our transaction went smooth due to RJ’s professionalism and knowledge. He was always ready to hear and discuss our opinions, and was ready to help with any issues we had. The best thing about RJ is that he provide me with all the options and information I needed to make a decision, and let me make my decision at my pace. He also gives his true opinions and wishes the best for the people as well. We feel very lucky to have RJ as our team, and wish to work with him again in the future.

On any transaction, it is critical for the client that the seats at his/her table to get a project done be filled with the right individuals who will guide the project to completion. RJ is definitely someone you want to have a seat at your table. His industry and market knowledge are invaluable, he navigates time sensitive tasks effortlessly and dependably, and is very adept at working with player of all personality types. I would highly recommend his services and I look forward to working with him on many more transactions in the future.

I knew I wanted to set up my practice in Marina Del Rey. The problem was finding the right space in the area. I had started working with a different realtor, who had been recommended to me by my equipment supplier, but with whom I never quite felt comfortable. It seemed like I was just one more deal that he wanted to close quickly. Therefore, I took a step back on my plans, unsure what to do next.It wasn't long before one of my close friends, who is also a dentist, referred me to RJ Przebinda. After RJ personally met with me, something that the previous realtor never did, I felt that we just clicked and I was ready to move forward again. RJ really made me feel like I was the only person he was working with. He was always available, never rushed me and he researched listings several times. I knew that no matter how long it took; he was committed to finding the right match for me.I have now been in my new office for 6 months and I love my space. I couldn't have found a better location. RJ stood by my side through the whole process from identifying appropriate spaces, to lease negotiations and even through construction. He was always available to lend a hand, even after the deal closed. My experience with Gold Leaf Group was excellent. I would highly recommended RJ Przebinda to my colleagues.Knowledge, reliability, honesty, commitment and a warm, caring personality; what else could I have asked for from my realtor?

I had worked with numerous Real Estate agents in my search to find the perfect location to begin my new dental practice. While it was very easy to find a reputable and qualified agent, RJ Przebinda from the Gold Leaf Group, was the only one that truly understood the unique needs of a medical or dental office. In fact, he knew more about what to look for than I did.His sage advice proved invaluable during the process. I was initially focused on staying in the Valley, but RJ’s knowledge of the surrounding areas enlightened me to other options. By opening my eyes to alternative regions of Los Angeles, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. RJ was also very hands on during the entire process, so much so, that when I went into labor during the close of our deal, I knew that my practice was in good hands.

I thought I had found the perfect space: it was exactly the size I was looking for, it was in a high traffic strip mall area, and it was still close to my current client base. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that opening my new office did not stop there. Negotiations with a difficult landlord stretched from what usually takes several weeks, to three and a half months. RJ was undaunted. He tenaciously pursued the landlord, stayed on top of the other broker, and kept me fully informed during the entire process. He even stayed on to provide his advice, free of charge, during the construction phase. RJ was not just an advocate for me, but an advocate for the success of my new business. For him, it is not just about closing the deal, but ensuring that his clients’ needs are met to the fullest extent. He definitely goes above and beyond.

I work with Dentists helping them with finance solutions for their dental practices. Two of the biggest challenges I see once we have a doctor approved is locating the right space and the lease negotiations. This can become very frustrating and very challenging for dentists who try to do this on their own. To overcome this all prospective dental practices owners should consult a reputable licensed commercial real estate broker who specializes in dental tenant representation. The benefit is the dentist will be able to identify the right location for their practice and secure a financially safe lease agreement. We have worked with RJ Przebinda and his company the Gold Leaf Group because of knowledge and reputation. The Gold Leaf Group has strong understanding of what is necessary for a dental practice to succeed, viable locations with the greatest potential for success, and they can get the dentist past lease related obstacles.

It's always good to have a chance to acknowledge and be grateful. I have told RJ many times and this is the opportunity to express it publicly. I met RJ Przebinda before starting my search for a location for my endodontics practice. When I was choosing a location, in that moment, RJ explained all the steps of the process in detail. Then we went through the process on several locations, each time he dedicated the time to address my concerns until it was very clear to me. RJ is frank and trustworthy, he can tell you upfront if he agrees or not, and he works for you as if your office is his own project. He has excellent communication skills, knowledge and experience. We have established not only a professional relationship but a personal friendship. I can say without doubt that his knowledge, confidence and experience, created the most important thing - Trust.

I would and do highly recommend RJ Przebinda of Gold Leaf Group to anyone who is looking for assistance in leasing space to open a dental practice. In fact, I have already recommended two of my close friends to him in the past seven months. I believe in him. He is the only person I would ever go to for dental real estate services. RJ is always accessible and very prompt in his responses. He studies his clients to get a feel for what they like and are looking for. I felt safe having him guide me through the entire process. He is very knowledgeable not only in commercial real estate leasing, but also in many aspects of business.He took the time to show me around. He is very professional and yet has a nice, relaxed person at the same time. I enjoyed his kindness, honesty and his willingness to coach me on just about every aspect of the dental building/leasing world that I did not know about. When I am ready tobuy a building, he will be the person that helps me in my next business endeavor!

From the very first meeting I had with RJ Przebinda, I knew he was the right person for the job. His unique understanding of dental professionals’ needs put me at ease immediately. I had been looking for a space for 6 months, at times with other realtors, but with no tangible results prior to finding Gold Leaf Group. My equipment specialist had recommended I speak with RJ, but I was hesitant. As RJ started to search for properties that would suit my practice, he considered all my preferences and his thoroughness was a refreshing change from my previous experience. RJ was able to secure a lease for a former dental office space in a shopping center. Because the space already had plumbing, operatories and most of the applications I required, I was able to save approximately $80,000 in opening my office. RJ made sure that the process moved swiftly. RJ did not hesitate to go the extra mile for me by negotiating the best rate in a highly trafficked, shopping center that not only suits my needs, but also is convenient for my patients.

RJ Przebinda with the Gold Leaf Group has been an asset in securing a prime location for our dental practice. With his wealth of knowledge and professionalism, he was able to help convince the city to re-allocate space previously designated as retail space (and not useable for medical) to medical space for my dental practice. Furthermore, RJ worked step-by-step with my attorney, equipment provider and design team to negotiate and finalize the lease agreement. It was a pleasure working with RJ. He is hands on with articulate efforts. With his positive diligence, RJ goes above and beyond to achieve our goals. RJ is someone who you want on your team to work on your behalf.

I was introduced to RJ Przebinda by my dental attorney, Levi Barlavi, a couple years ago. This being my first dental practice, I was really naive and apprehensive. I was unfamiliar with the process and didn't know who to trust. RJ was exactly the person I needed on this journey. He was informative, honest, and reliable. I never felt pressured or uneducated when having to make decisions on potential locations. He spent many hours with me scouting sites and submitting LOI's until we found a property that was a great fit. I am grateful to have had him by my side to work on my behalf for the most ideal terms for my new office lease. I would highly recommend RJ and the Gold Leaf Group team to assist you on your office venture.

I first heard of RJ Przebinda from Gold Leaf Group Healthcare Real Estate from a dental practice start-up webinar hosted by my accountant, Fazel Mostashari. Just from watching that webinar, it was evident to me that RJ was extremely knowledgeable and experienced within the dental space. When I was ready to start my own practice, RJ was the first I reached out to. As a very young and naive dentist, I was hesitant to trust anyone, but RJ was able to ease any anxiety I felt. He walked me through step-by-step what to expect when pursuing such a project and followed through by explaining every part of the lease negotiation process and more. RJ also helped me develop my start-up “team”. Because of his amazing recommendations for a bank to secure a loan, equipment rep, attorney and contractor, I quickly realized how well-connected RJ is and how much his good character is respected by everyone in the dental start-up business. RJ is truly more than a real estate agent to me and I am happy to call him my friend. I would happily and confidently recommend RJ to any one of my colleagues.

RJ is a well-respected commercial broker and true professional in the dental space. In my dental law practice, I have been blessed to work with him over the past several years. In the context of commercial leasing, he strongly negotiates business deal points in the Letter of Intent in the most fair and equitable manner – which makes the legal lease review more streamlined and effective. RJ is also an expert in the area of dental acquisitions. My clients love working with him because of his extensive knowledge in the dental space as well as his professionalism. He approaches every transaction with the diligence, organization and intelligence that is needed to bring parties together for a successful signed lease, or closing of escrow on a dental practice, as the case may be. What separates RJ from the others is his intelligence, character and level of professionalism.

My partner and I were introduced to RJ by another dental colleague and friend which had recently undergone his own dental office space acquisition and lease agreement. From the first phone call and interaction, RJ broke the process and narrowed our search down to make the vast search a lot more manageable. His expertise and dealings with our market area gave him the insight on the pros and cons of each location/building we were looking into. He was very prompt with all replies and inquires; being professional from the beginning to the end of the transaction. During the process we definitely threw some wrenches into the process and RJ was able to maneuver and handle each situation. He also is well connected to others in his field and is able to recommend other vendors to collaborate on other aspects of our project. He is a great person to have on your side and you will not be disappointed.

I’m writing to share my experience with RJ. I’ve recently finished signing for my second location and both signings have had challenges in the negotiation process. This is the 2nd time that I’ve used RJ and I’m glad that I have. The challenges that occurred during our negotiation were difficult and time consuming. There were challenges that I don’t think typically occur, yet RJ was knowledgeable and extremely helpful in navigating through that terrain. I’m writing because even with the difficulty, he was there to guide, educate and help represent my best interests. Because extra time was needed, I was worried that my interests wouldn’t be represented well. However, RJ went above and beyond to bring out the best outcome for my particular situation, even if it meant earning less.

If you ask me and after using RJ’s services twice, I would highly recommend using his service.

We partnered with RJ Przebinda of Gold Leaf Group after he proved instrumental in negotiating a lease in a highly competitive area, with a challenging property, for the wife of one of our partners. We were confident he'd be able to tackle our needs for space for Urgent Care facilities considering he's aware of the intricacies of our business, and he certainly delivered. This meant excelling in several key areas such as giving strong guidance as to the comps in the area and managed the speed of our transaction in order to maximize our rental abatement period. In fact, RJ was critically important in having the Landlord's rep extend the rental abatement period when the city planning department delayed the approval of our plans through no fault of our own prior to the build out process. And even after the build out was complete, RJ has stayed in regular contact with us regarding new opportunities that may serve our expansion needs. He proven to be a welcomed partner in our growing business.

I recently worked with RJ Przebinda for lease negotiations, and can't say enough good things about my experience with working with him. I was very impressed with his knowledge, transparency, professionalism, and dedication to help complete a very stressful process. I'm hoping I will never have to go through another lease process for at least 15 more years, but if I do, I will personally seek RJ out, even if he is retired at that point, because he is that good at his job.
I recently purchased a dental office that required a new lease to be drafted, and while my attorney was working the legal aspects, RJ was working on the technical aspects to ensure I was given the best possible situation. He single handedly negotiated on my behalf to get a fair market value rent, as well as a very generous tenant improvement allowance, lease renewals, and many other items that ultimately benefited me. This is all stuff I would not be able to negotiate by myself, and if you get a broker who doesn't care, or isn't as knowledgeable, or is unscrupulous, you can be losing out on terms that will not benefit you as much.
I cannot emphasize how much time RJ spent helping me out, on nights, on weekends, during his vacation, in order to help expedite the process so we would be able to close the practice sale. We had a very demanding timeline, and he jumped through hoops to help us get us to the finish line. He was very thorough on explaining each major stipulation of the lease so I was well informed on what I was signing.
I've worked with brokers before, and feel like the biggest thing is trusting your broker to work for you, not against you. I felt like RJ will always have the client's best interest in mind. Thank you for making my dream possible!

My wife and I were introduced to RJ Przebinda of Gold Leaf Group Healthcare through our CPA as we started to think about searching for a space for our first dental start up. We had in fact already spoken with a couple of different brokers, but we didn’t really feel like they were the type we could establish a relationship with for at least a few months. From the beginning of the process, involving long conversations over the phone trying to help us reach our mission and vision for this practice until the last day of hand delivering the executed lease to the post office, our experience with RJ has been nothing but exceptionally fantastic. He has been professional, honest, caring, and punctual. This process involves a lot of back and forth between all parties and you need someone who can manage and coordinate and keep track of all the communication and logistics and RJ was that person in our start up journey. He was certainly more than just a broker, but the backbone of the search, negotiation, and execution process.
What he brings to table is decades of experience in this field, what will certainly guarantee a successful negotiations with the landlord through the LOI submission and negotiations followed by picking and working with the right team members for the lease negotiation. He was very helpful in narrowing down our choices when we were stuck between 4-5 spaces, he did a very neat and thorough financial analysis for us that made it so much easier to decide on the one space that would have had better potential in future. Overall, both my wife and I had a great experience with RJ and would highly and without a doubt recommend him to any colleague looking to open up a new practice.

RJ is by far the best Broker I've worked with. In the past 12 years I’ve had so many disappointments with agents that overlooked details that have cost me a lot of time and money. Working with RJ has been a breath of fresh air. RJ asked the right questions and understood our current practice needs as well as our long-term goals. He found us our 2 new locations and negotiated smartly to get us the best terms, TI improvements and rent.
I am looking forward to continuing the practice with RJ's help.

I was so grateful that a friend recommended RJ to me. I started looking at locations for my clinic on my own and felt completely lost. After my first tour with RJ, I knew I was in good hands. RJ walked me through every step. He was always available and he is incredibly knowledgeable. Through his vast experience in the field, RJ has been through every situation. It was important for RJ that I understand the process and he always thoroughly and patiently answered all my questions. He was there to assist from the beginning until I had the signed lease in hand, and every single step on the way. I highly recommend RJ to anyone looking to open a medical practice.

I have known RJ for a few years now! This journey of starting a dental practice is vast and wide and I am so grateful that I got introduced to RJ to guide me through it . RJ has been the most organized and thorough broker I have worked with in my years of residential and commercial real estate. Not only is he knowledgeable, he has the best interest of his clients at heart. He has patiently looked at numerous properties with me throughout the years. I am so glad I had RJ on my team to decipher the terms and conditions of the lease and to negotiate the best possible terms for such a big investment! I am forever indebted to the connections he introduced me to in order to build my dream office. RJ, thanks for being patient with me and answering calls and emails even on family vacations in various time zones!! I would work with you again in a heartbeat!

Working with RJ Przebinda from Gold Leaf Group Healthcare Real Estate was a surprise from start to finish. RJ was one of the few individuals that I've had the pleasure to work with that was responsive, understanding, and excellent at his profession. RJ works for the betterment of his clients and that was evident from our first appointment to months after the lease was signed. I always feel that RJ is someone that we could rely upon thoroughly and just a genuinely nice individual. Beyond his attention to our lease, his recommendations in other fields of our business have also been top-notch and essential to our business success. We have nothing but compliments for him, his team, and his work.
