LA Real Estate Agency

What LA Real Estate Agency does

LA Real Estate Agency (The L.A. Real Estate Agency, Inc.) is a privately held boutique luxury real estate brokerage headquartered at 9903 Santa Monica Blvd., #712, Beverly Hills, California (DRE#01889470). Founded and operated by David Vertlieb, who serves as Founder, CEO, and Broker of Record, the firm provides residential buying, selling, and leasing services for high-net-worth individuals across the Los Angeles Westside, including Brentwood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Westwood, and Holmby Hills. Its stated value proposition rests on David Vertlieb's nearly two decades of experience, a Top Agent Network-verified top-10% ranking, and long-standing industry relationships that the firm uses to source off-market properties and private listings not generally available to the public. The client base spans first-time luxury buyers to high-profile individuals in sports, entertainment, and business, with named transactional evidence including a $13.475M Brentwood Park sale, a $12.25M Brentwood Park sale, a $9.7M Santa Monica sale (described as the highest ever recorded on Berkeley Street), an $8.25M off-market Pacific Palisades sale, and a Fred Couples-branded Brentwood transaction covered by the Los Angeles Times.

The firm's products and services are conventional brokerage services: customized home search across on- and off-market inventory, tailored seller marketing plans, and transaction management from initial conversation through closing. There is no proprietary technology platform; the only disclosed technology is a company website with neighborhood guides, school information, a mortgage calculator, and mansion-tax resources, plus primary phone-based lead capture. Revenue is generated entirely through traditional real estate commissions on individual transactions, with rates not publicly disclosed and tailored on a per-transaction basis. GTM is a direct, field-based, broker-led sales motion with no franchise or channel-partner model, and marketing is anchored by content, Top Agent Network referrals, and a strong call-to-action on phone contact (323) 515-2732. The team consists of David Vertlieb, three additional licensed agents (Lainey Camu, RL Morgan, Curtis Hamlett), a transaction coordinator (Christine Revetta), and a company mascot, with the founder separately operating Tucson Real Estate & Investments, which holds multifamily student housing near the University of Arizona.
