Michael Onyemaobi

Michael Onyemaobi is an investment sales and capital markets advisor at Compass. With more than $30 million in completed transactions, he brings deep expertise in sourcing, underwriting, and executing high-leverage development opportunities. His work focuses on infill housing, small-lot subdivisions, value-add multifamily, and single-family custom home development, where he advises investors, builders, and developers on acquisitions, entitlement strategy, and repositioning.

Prior to Compass, Michael held roles at OnSiteIQ, where he helped build a national ground-up development pipeline exceeding $100 million by establishing relationships with institutional developers across the country. He later became a top-producing agent at Revel Real Estate in Beverly Hills before joining Compass to expand the firm’s investment sales advisory platform.

Michael’s strategic approach blends disciplined market analysis with hands-on execution, giving his clients a rare advantage through the full lifecycle of a deal—from acquisition through disposition. He is known for thoughtful deal-making, financial clarity, and an approach rooted in long-term value creation, making him a trusted advisor in Southern California’s competitive development market.

Outside of real estate, Michael is a proud father to two daughters, Reign and Shilo, and is engaged to the love of his life, Khalea Aiko. His commitment to family fuels his passion for helping others build generational wealth through real estate.
