Sagiv founded Rosano Capital Partners in 2006 using a new set of principles: Partnership, Specialization, and Full Service. His goal was simple – create the best full-service real estate firm in California by providing a unique array of value-add services. Relying on hard work, resilience, and a robust team of talented agents, Sagiv set out to redefine the industry. Today, Sagiv remains dedicated to those same ideals by developing lasting business relationships with Commercial Property Owners and Retail Tenants by offering full brokerage services, accurate market analysis, and real-time market information.

Prior to the formation of Rosano Capital Partners, Sagiv was a top producer at one of the largest commercial real estate firms in Los Angeles.

Sagiv served in the Israeli military, where he led, consulted, and managed a governmental organization on security issues and covert operations along with combat infantry unit logistics and operations. He developed strategies on locations, movement, and configuration of troops and heavy military equipment, an apt foundation for his career in real estate.
