About Kirk
My Passion Is Community.
For more than 20 years I’ve been proud to help companies large and small. Whether it was Peak Corporate Network, individual service providers (real estate agents, insurance brokers, lawyers, CPAs and more) or small business owners, I’m a firm believer that the stronger the community is… the more successful a company can be.
Kirk Jaffe
Founder, Kirk Jaffe Consults
I’m a trusted advisor and operator who builds companies and family offices, informed by global experience. My work blends capital strategy, governance, and hands-on execution so leaders can scale with confidence — across markets and over generations.
Over more than two decades, I’ve built, managed or owned more than 20 companies across finance, real estate, hospitality, consulting and information technology. I manage a $200MM private investment fund spanning mortgage notes, real estate owned (REO) and commercial property holdings, and I’ve held executive authority over 20,000+ real estate transactions with an aggregate value exceeding $1 billion.
I partner with founders, principals, and family office executives to design operating systems, structure and diligence deals, stand up investment and reporting frameworks, and recruit the right teams and partners. When needed, I step in as an interim builder — establishing clear decision rights, financial discipline, and rhythms that keep momentum without compromising risk controls.
What guides my work
- Stewardship over hype — protect the downside, compound the upside
- Alignment — governance, incentives, and values pointing in the same direction
- Clarity — simple dashboards, crisp processes, measurable outcomes
- Discretion — trust and confidentiality at every step
How I help
- Company building — operating cadence, OKRs, board and IC readiness, CEO support
- Family office building and upgrades — mission, mandate, governance charters, manager selection, direct and co-invest processes, consolidated reporting
- Capital and deals — structure, diligence, and negotiation across debt and equity, coordinating legal, tax and risk specialists to close cleanly
I’m widely consulted as a subject-matter expert and have appeared or been quoted in media including KABC790 Talk Radio, NBC and the Los Angeles Daily News.
My Mantra: “Get it done right the first time.”
