Specialties

  • Single-family homes — purchase and sale representation across all Westside price points, from family starter homes to multi-million-dollar Brentwood and Pacific Palisades estates
  • Condos — Westside high-rise, mid-rise, and low-density buildings; deep familiarity with HOA dynamics, building rules, and pricing comparables building-by-building
  • Townhomes — including HOA complex specialists across Santa Monica, Brentwood, and West LA
  • Income properties — multi-family, duplex, triplex, and fourplex acquisitions and dispositions for both first-time and seasoned investors
  • First-time buyer consultation — Gary takes the time first-time buyers need; many of his current sellers are former first-time clients who came back when they were ready to upsize
  • Relocation services — for clients moving to the Westside from elsewhere in the country or internationally
  • Property valuation and comparative market analysis — pre-listing analysis based on 40 years of comp data and current Westside market conditions
  • Estate sale real estate services — including coordination with attorneys, accountants, and family members through difficult transitions
  • Off-market and exclusive listings — relationships with the Westside agent network produce access to listings that never hit the public MLS

Why work with Gary

40 years of Westside-specific experience

Most agents have a few cycles of market data in their heads. Gary has eight. He started selling in Santa Monica in 1986 and has personally worked through every Westside market cycle since — the late-80s slowdown, the mid-90s recovery, the dot-com years, the 2008 crash, the 2010s recovery, the COVID rush, and the current rate-cycle environment. That cycle memory shapes every pricing call he makes.

2,100+ closed transactions — the data behind the advice

Across single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and income properties, Gary has personally closed more than 2,100 transactions in his 40-year career. Pricing recommendations and negotiation moves are grounded in that volume of comparable experience — not theory.

Top 1–2% Coldwell Banker, internationally

Coldwell Banker has more than 100,000 agents across 47 countries. Gary’s production places him in the top 1–2% of that international network — a tier reached by consistent volume year after year, not by a single big sale.

English and Tagalog (Filipino)

Gary speaks English and Tagalog/Filipino, serving the Filipino-American community across the Westside. For Filipino-American clients buying their first home in the United States, or for international Filipino investors looking at Westside income properties, Gary represents in either language.

Same level of attention at every price point

The same diligence Gary applies to a multi-million-dollar Brentwood Park sale shows up for a first-time condo buyer in Ocean Park. That’s not a marketing line — it’s how he’s built a 40-year career and a referral pipeline that keeps producing new clients from former ones.
