Michael Makabeh
Bridging Clinical Realities and Commercial Dealmaking
A dental practice transition is not a standard business acquisition. It involves a deeply personal blend of patient clinical relationships, specialized mechanical infrastructure, complex insurance reimbursements, and commercial lease covenants.
Michael Makabeh has spent more than 25 years advising business owners and commercial property users across Southern California and nationally. As Senior Commercial Acquisition Manager at Peak Commercial in Woodland Hills, Michael has cultivated a specialized focus on dental practices, medical office spaces, and healthcare-anchored commercial properties.
His background goes far beyond traditional real estate brokerage. With more than 18 years in executive management and consulting—having advised over 400 businesses nationwide—Michael understands operational cash flow, capitalization, and risk management from the inside out. His prior asset management responsibilities have included stewardship of premier commercial assets, such as a major 750,000-square-foot regional mall in Texas.
Healthcare Operational Insight: Syndicate Medical Billing
In addition to his brokerage achievements, Michael is the founder of Syndicate Medical Billing Professionals. This specialized venture has given him first-hand mastery over the financial mechanisms that make dental practices profitable: fee schedules, PPO reimbursements, insurance aging, Denti-Cal administration, and patient billing compliance. When Michael reviews a dental practice's profit and loss statement, he evaluates it with the analytical eye of a healthcare billing executive, identifying latent value and production potential that conventional brokers overlook.

While Michael provides personal, one-on-one advisory, his clients benefit from the extensive platform, data resources, and transaction infrastructure of Peak Commercial.
Peak Commercial is one of Southern California's premier commercial real estate firms. Based in Woodland Hills, the firm represents institutional investors, private owners, and professional practitioners across office, retail, industrial, and specialty medical properties.
