Kiser Group Expands Into Cincinnati, Names Stash Geleszinski to Lead Market Growth

Kiser Group, a Chicago-headquartered commercial real estate brokerage specializing in multifamily investment sales, announced its expansion into Ohio with the addition of Stasiu “Stash” Geleszinski, CCIM, as Senior Director. Geleszinski will lead the firm’s growth in Cincinnati, with an initial focus on multifamily investment sales throughout Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus.

Geleszinski brings nearly two decades of multifamily brokerage experience, with career transaction volume exceeding $2 billion. He entered the Cincinnati market without an established network and built a brokerage practice that grew to a seven-person team. He began his local brokerage career at SVN, then known as Sperry Van Ness, and subsequently served as Managing Director at Capstone and, most recently, Cushman & Wakefield.

His approach centers on persistent business development, cultivating owner relationships, and identifying opportunities through direct outreach.

“I started in Cincinnati with no contacts and no connections,” said Geleszinski. “I built my business by picking up the phone, getting in front of owners, and finding ways to help them get deals done. That pursuit of new business and new opportunities has always been my favorite part of brokerage.”

At Kiser Group, Geleszinski will initially focus on private capital multifamily transactions involving properties with 50 or more units, with particular emphasis on communities of 100 units or more. His practice will also serve professional investment groups and institutional owners. His longer-term goal is to build a regional team covering Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, including Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne, with selective opportunities in West Virginia.

“An entrepreneurial firm like Kiser gives me the opportunity to build a team, compete for meaningful assignments, and grow regionally,” said Geleszinski. “The foundation is Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus. From there, I want to bring together talented brokers who know their markets and share the same drive to build relationships and win business.”

Over the past several years, Geleszinski has expanded his experience into development, ownership, operations, and property management. His portfolio includes two Greater Cincinnati properties, alongside limited partnership interests in other real estate investments. In Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood, he transformed a vacant shell at 2900 Colerain Avenue into six new apartments. In June 2026, he also took on the repositioning of Harrison Terminal Lofts, a mixed-use property totaling more than 65,000 square feet. The property includes 18 residential lofts averaging approximately 2,000 square feet, along with commercial tenants Kantine Biergarten & Wine Bar and Five Thirteen Strength.

“Being responsible for renovation budgets, leasing, maintenance, and day-to-day operations sharpens how you look at an investment,” said Geleszinski. “That experience helps me understand what an owner is facing, what a buyer will need to execute, and how to work through the issues that can determine whether a transaction gets done.”

Geleszinski’s decision to join Kiser Group grew out of longstanding respect for the firm and relationships with its leadership. He previously hosted Lee Kiser on his podcast, The Stash Cast, and cited his friendship with Mike Mosher as another important factor. “I’ve watched Lee and the firm for years and have a lot of respect for what they’ve built,” said Geleszinski. “With Lee and Mike, it feels like I’m going to work with friends. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. Kiser already has the technology, resources, and support that let me get to work building relationships and winning business.”

“I’ve known Stash for years, and I’ve watched him build his business through grit, consistency, and genuine relationships,” said Mike Mosher, Chief Revenue Officer at Kiser Group. “Bringing him into Kiser Group isn’t just a strategic decision. It’s welcoming a friend whose values and work ethic align perfectly with ours. I’m excited to work together once again and see the team and market presence I know he is capable of building.”

While acknowledging a challenging transaction environment, Geleszinski sees opportunity in helping owners and investors navigate changing conditions. “A broker earns his keep in times of change, both on the upswing and the downswing,” he said. “The hardest part is getting in front of the opportunities, which is my favorite part.” 

“Our goal isn’t simply to do more transactions,” said Lee Kiser, Principal at Kiser Group. “It’s to build the team clients want beside them when they’re making decisions about these assets. Stash brings the market knowledge, relationships, and firsthand development experience that make him a valuable advisor to multifamily investors. Ohio is a natural fit for our continued growth, and we’re excited about what we can build together with Stash.”
