What Inspires Us
John, our co-founder, and his wife Janet have lived and raised five children in Pacific Palisades since 1995. John was also recognized for his outstanding work on the Potrero Canyon Park Citizen Advisory Board. The damage to their own home, the loss of their son’s new home, and their deep ties to the Pacific Palisades neighborhood through years of service on community boards, parks, councils and sports organizations – all make this endeavor very personal.
Many affected families are facing a rebuilding process with unfamiliar terms, regulatory hurdles, and countless moving parts. That’s where PaliPM can make a difference. Our experienced real estate team operates as your trusted advisor, partner, and advocate by bridging the gap between you and the many other professionals involved in the reconstruction life cycle.
We understand that rebuilding a home is not just a construction project — it’s the restoration of stability, comfort, and community.

Our Mission
To help families build with confidence
By providing expert, transparent, and compassionate project and construction management
Through strategic foresight, financial rigor, and human empathy
THE FOUNDERS
Experience Meets Integrity
This road is deeply personal for us. Our founders have a front-row seat to the resilience of the Palisades spirit. PaliPM was founded out of that very spirit — born not just from friendship and professional expertise, but from personal loss, empathy, and a common drive to help neighbors rebuild their lives with confidence and dignity.
Whether you’ve lost your home or need to repair and rebuild parts of it, PaliPM brings institutional-grade project discipline to personal, family-level rebuilding. John and Adnan have over 70 years of collective real estate industry expertise, and their background in evaluating and managing multimillion-dollar real estate investments and projects means your home will be rebuilt to the highest standards. Our services are crafted based on a framework built around strategic planning, detailed budgeting and hands-on execution oversight.
We are here to ensure that every project we work on is delivered with transparency, precision and care.
