With more than 22 years of commercial real estate experience, Abraham Prattella is a Southern California–based broker specializing in hospitality, beachfront hotels, retail, industrial, special-use assets, and commercial land development. As Broker and Principal Partner of Agency 8 Real Estate Group, Abraham leads a full-service commercial division equipped to handle acquisition, disposition, financing, property management, valuation, and escrow coordination under one integrated umbrella.
Abraham brings a strong command of hotel underwriting, coastal zoning complexities, cash-flow modeling, hospitality CAP rates, P&L evaluations, brand flag requirements, and renovation ROI analysis. His experience spans oceanfront properties, boutique hotels, motel repositioning, short-term rental conversions, and hospitality assets impacted by fire loss, insurance claims, or distressed ownership.
