Insight. Innovation. Integrity.
Commitment.
The most striking part of our story
is that there is no story.
No garage. No sudden shower of inspiration. No lucky find. Instead, it’s a tale of building experience, acquiring knowledge, and showing up day after day. Slowly, steadily, establishing relationships, studying markets, growing capital, and assembling a strong portfolio of carefully selected, stable assets. Delivering consistent, above-average returns to partners and proving ourselves – over, and over, and over again.
Through normal market fluctuations and unpredictable shakeups, we’re carving out a name as a young, agile company with old-school investment principles.
Avi Farber
Founding partner
Avi keeps his vision on macro, directing the overall growth of the company and keeping it pointed toward success. In addition, Avi leverages his extensive experience with management, designing and implementing a strong business plan for all of Temple’s investments.
Prior to founding The Temple Group, Avi was part of the Terra Financial Solutions team. In that capacity, he worked closely with the accounting and on-site management teams of a large management company on the asset management and back office operations of a sizable portfolio, creating detailed budgets and project retention rates, and investigating variances, significantly increasing the portfolio’s NOI.
This experience led Avi to Purchase Pro, where he led a team in the development and launch of a successful software solution for real estate management companies.
Steve Safirstein
Founding partner
