Aurmon Banitaba

CCG Founder & Lead Broker Aurmon Banitaba brings a rare combination of institutional real estate investment and development experience alongside hands-on brokerage execution to his advisory work with multifamily owners, investors, and developers throughout Coastal California.

Raised in the Bay Area within a family of top-producing real estate brokers and investors, Aurmon gained early exposure to the discipline, negotiation strategy, and long-term thinking required to successfully build and preserve real estate wealth. That foundation shaped his understanding of how sophisticated property owners evaluate risk, timing, leverage, and opportunity long before entering the industry professionally.

After earning a degree in Finance & Real Estate from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Aurmon began his career in wealth management at Fisher Investments, where he quickly became one of the firm’s top-performing advisors, setting company records for assets funded and deal production early in his tenure. Despite that success, he recognized his long-term passion was real estate investing and advisory.

Aurmon transitioned into commercial real estate in San Diego, advising private clients on investment property acquisitions and dispositions before moving into real estate private equity and development as a Principal at Cherry Tree Capital Partners, a private investment firm based in Newport Beach. There, he was directly involved in multifamily acquisitions, underwriting, capital structuring, development execution, and strategic asset-level decision making across value-add and ground-up multifamily projects.

The collective track record across Cherry Tree’s principals includes more than 25,000 ground-up multifamily units developed, over $10 billion in equity capital previously invested, and more than 70,000 multifamily units previously managed.

That institutional foundation continues to shape Aurmon’s advisory approach today. He understands how sophisticated buyers, developers, and capital partners evaluate opportunities and positions every assignment accordingly — not simply marketing properties for what they are today, but for how they will be analyzed, underwritten, and valued by the marketplace.

Aurmon founded CCG Real Estate Advisors to provide private multifamily owners access to the level of strategic guidance and execution typically reserved for institutional clients. The firm specializes in multifamily investment sales, development and land advisory, 1031 exchange consulting, and strategic capital repositioning throughout key Coastal California markets.

Known for his investor-minded perspective, market insight, and high-touch execution, Aurmon advises clients through pivotal decisions involving acquisitions, dispositions, equity repositioning, development opportunities, and long-term portfolio strategy. His approach combines institutional-level analysis with personalized advisory designed around each client’s specific investment objectives.

At CCG, the focus extends beyond simply closing transactions. The goal is to help clients maximize value, preserve optionality, and make well-informed real estate decisions that strengthen their position for the future.
