I am so graterful for working and living in Los Angeles as a Realtor..

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

There are so many people and things for me to be grateful for just by living in Los Angeles. I am so thrilled, that I have been a Realtor for over 20 plus years in the greater Los Angeles Real Estate Market. This is such a unique place, where you can run into Billionaires, Millionaires and actors and actresses who are famous and others who are infamous. The question is will you recognize them?

Over the years, I had the opportunity to rent to celebrities, homes when they were making movies. Then I had the opportunity to sell some of them homes and in turn had the opportunity to sell some of their homes.

Real Estate in the greater Los Angeles is unlike any other part of the country. Just think about it, you are holding an Open House and Cher pops in with her daughter (18+ years ago) but I still see it clear as day.

I show a home to a famous actress and her father pops in un announced,  just to make sure his daughter is looking at the right home. Both equally recognized and famous.

 Then, I am having lunch in a Restaurant with Diane an Jerry Stiller is there with his wife, (you know Ben Stiller’s parents).  Another time I am having dinner with Diane in Venice, CA and a famous Tap Dancer (sadly passed away) is having dinner with his wife.

One evening, Diane and I were having dinner in Century City and a famous musician comes in with his entourage and they take up a third of the restaurant.

 I could go on and on about the people we met being in the Grocery Store or at the Department Store in the past twenty plus years. Now keep in mind these are just the ones we recognized.

I still remember when Ben Affleck popped in to our real estate office and was looking at homes before he really became famous.

Anyway, you get the idea, this is a very unique place to live and sell real estate.

Now twenty plus years late I drop a few names, but the reality is those who want confidentiality. they will get it and there have been some I had to even sign a non-disclosure agreement, just to look at their homes.

These are the things that the average Realtor does not get to experience anywhere outside of the greater Los Angeles area. I am so grateful that I have had and still could enjoy these unexpected and wonderful opportunities.

Good morning Endre.

I can imagine some of the people you've seen or have dealt with.  Personally, I've had the pleasure of being around four Presidents who visited our area during the campaign circuit.

Hi Endre.... you do indeed work in an interesting place. Even in NYC I didn't see an awful lot of famous faces... most famous one was showing a listing of mine on Park Avenue to Matt Lauer. For the most part, the top NYC coops were not very accepting of celebrities, so they didn't buy where I was selling.

Selling real estate is definitely different in LA, and I know you enjoy it.  I haven't sold real estate to any celebrities. But, I have seen many at The Greenbrier Resort. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

James Dray  I have only met one President from close up because the Secret Service mistook me for one of their own, and that was Ronald Regan in Waterbury, CT. when he was running for his second term... truly a classy man...Endre

WOW!  LA has got to be the most interesting place to live and sell real estate, Endre!

I have served celebrities here in Charlotte but, not nearly the stature of those you serve! Like you, I run into them more out dining, shopping or at charity events than selling real estate.

Charlotte rests a few hours a day - I just don't see LA resting...ever!

LOL Both are exciting cities - that's for sure - and both are far more 'hustle-bustle' than Charlotte. Then again, we are in the South, where things move just a wee bit slower! LOL

Hi Endre

LA is definitely a unique world in many ways. One needs to recognize it for what it is and not let it get the best of you so you retain your personality and don’t try to become something you are not.
