Bio
A Founder and Managing Member of Community Builders Group, LLC (CBG), Joseph P. Seager directs acquisitions, rehabilitative development, and financial management of the company along with his business partner, Christian Hart. The company has completed real estate transactions throughout California and has also worked in Hawaii and Arizona. The focus has been on affordable housing and in-fill development and while they have done for sale housing, he prefers projects with long term ownership and cash flow upsides from office buildings to mixed use developments. Recently the company finalized a refinancing of a project in Los Angeles that has tremendous upside as a redevelopment area on the corner of Jefferson Boulevard and Vermont Avenue.
Prior to founding CBG, LLC, Joe worked at SunAmerica Affordable Housing. During his tenure with the company, he was promoted from Acquisitions Coordinator to Assistant Vice President of Acquisitions. While at SAHP, Mr. Seager was responsible for creating new multifamily projects throughout the United States in both the affordable and market-rate sectors. He assisted developers through each step of the development process, including entitlement, design, pro-forma analysis, construction budgets, financial underwriting, lease-up and stabilization.
In addition to his own company, Mr. Seager joined the Board of Directors for Homeboy Industies in 2006. It is a non-profit organization that works with gang members who are leaving the gang life through job training and counseling. He held various positions on the Board including Treasurer. Because of his experience with Homeboy Industries, Mr. Seager and Mr. Hart began a social enterprise venture in 2012 that utilizes the talents and skills of Homeboy graduates to create a street wear company. The profits will be used to grow the company and support companies such as Homeboy Industries which work with at-risk populations.
