Strand Hill | Forbes Global Properties

When you're selling one of your largest financial assets, the most important question isn't:

"Who has the biggest team?"

It's:

"Who do I trust to represent me?"

Luxury real estate isn't simply about placing a home on the MLS.

It's about pricing strategy.

Marketing.

Negotiation.

Timing.

Relationships.

And perhaps most importantly, having an experienced advisor personally guiding every decision from the first conversation to the day the transaction closes.

That has been the foundation of my business for more than 35 years.

Bigger Isn't Always Better

Today's real estate industry has changed dramatically.

Many successful brokerages operate with large teams made up of listing specialists, buyer specialists, showing agents, transaction coordinators, marketing departments, and administrative staff.

There is absolutely a place for that business model, and many clients are well served by it.

I chose a different path.

I built my business around one simple belief:

My clients deserve direct access to the person they hired.

When we sit down to discuss your goals, you're not meeting a salesperson who later hands your transaction to someone else.

When an offer comes in, I'm negotiating it.

When inspections uncover challenges, I'm solving them.

When difficult conversations need to happen, I'm making the call.

Because that's exactly what I believe my clients deserve.

Experience Matters

Every home tells a different story.

A contemporary Manhattan Beach home attracts different buyers than an equestrian estate in Rolling Hills.

An oceanfront property in Hermosa Beach requires a different marketing strategy than a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates.

There isn't a formula.

There is experience.

During my career I've been privileged to:

• Sell more than 1,000 homes
• Surpass $1 billion in career sales
• Represent buyers and sellers through every type of market
• Successfully negotiate transactions ranging from family homes to record-setting luxury estates

Those experiences can't be learned from a manual.

They come from decades of sitting across negotiating tables, solving unexpected problems, and helping clients make confident decisions.

Results Without Compromise

As of year-to-date 2026, I'm honored to rank:

#6 in Listing Sales Volume

#4 in Buyer Sales Volume

across the South Bay.

Those rankings are meaningful to me—not because of the numbers themselves—but because they represent the trust my clients have placed in me.

What makes them especially rewarding is that they were achieved while continuing to provide personal representation throughout every transaction.

My goal has never been to build the biggest real estate team.

My goal has always been to deliver the highest level of representation.

Luxury Marketing Is More Than Beautiful Photography

Professional photography is expected.

Drone video is expected.

Property websites are expected.

Today's luxury sellers deserve far more than that.

They deserve a comprehensive marketing strategy that reaches buyers wherever they are:

• YouTube
• Google
• AI search
• Luxury publications
• Social media
• Email marketing
• Professional networking
• Targeted digital advertising

Every property deserves its own story.

My responsibility is making sure the right buyers hear it.

Relationships Build Extraordinary Results

Some of my clients have trusted me with multiple transactions over decades.

Others have referred their children, parents, close friends, neighbors, and business partners.

Those relationships have become the greatest compliment of my career.

Real estate isn't about one transaction.

It's about becoming a trusted advisor for generations of a family's real estate decisions.

That responsibility is something I never take for granted.

A Commitment That Has Never Changed

Markets change.

Technology changes.

Marketing evolves.

But one thing has remained constant throughout my career.

Every client deserves honesty.

Every property deserves exceptional marketing.

Every negotiation deserves relentless preparation.

Every relationship deserves personal attention.

Those principles have guided my business from my very first transaction to today.

They will continue guiding every client I have the privilege of representing in the future.

If You're Considering Selling...

If you're considering selling a home in Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, or anywhere in the South Bay, I'd welcome the opportunity to show you what personalized luxury representation looks like.

Your home deserves more than a marketing plan.

It deserves a strategy.

And it deserves an advocate who is personally invested in achieving the best possible outcome.

I'd be honored to help you tell your home's story.
