Decades of Excellence in Southern California’s Real Estate Market
How many years have you been a REALTOR®? Markus 18 years, Cristie 36 years
What is your favorite property sold and/or work experience? Our journey as a top-producing husband and wife team began 18 years ago in a serendipitous moment at a friend’s father’s home—an A. Quincy Jones mid-century modern architectural masterpiece in Beverly Hills. We fell in love, formed our real estate team, and, a few years later, sold that very same home at 920 Foothill Drive in Beverly Hills, achieving multiple offers. It’s a story that’s close to our hearts and exemplifies the power of passion and dedication in our work.
Do you work mostly with buyers or sellers? While we are renowned as one of Southern California’s premier listing agents, thanks to our cutting-edge marketing expertise, we are equally committed to working with both buyers and sellers. Our goal is always to exceed expectations and create extraordinary service experiences that resonate with our clients.
What sets you apart from other REALTORS®? As Luxury Properties Directors and founding members of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, we’ve earned the respect and loyalty of our distinguished clientele by upholding the highest levels of integrity, expertise, and knowledge. Our approach is holistic, focusing on transforming and elevating our clients’ lives through thoughtful guidance and advisory roles that go beyond simple transactions.
What’s the biggest real estate trend you are seeing right now? One of the most significant trends we’re seeing now is the changing landscape of concessions to buyer’s agents and a growing focus on quality representation. Our vast knowledge and experience in representing buyers are giving us a market advantage, making us the go-to expert advisors for those seeking the best in the business.
What neighborhood/area do you specialize in? With over 1,800 successful transactions in the last 36+ years, we’ve cultivated deep expertise throughout Southern California. Operating out of our Beverly Hills and Palm Springs offices, we work tirelessly in areas including Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Hollywood Hills, Bel Air, Century City, Westwood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Studio City, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, and La Quinta.
Do you work mostly with single-family homes, condominiums, land, etc.? Our specialization lies in residential real estate, with a particular emphasis on representing brand-new constructions and remodeled single-family homes and condominiums. Whether it’s a luxury estate or a modern condo, our focus is always on finding the perfect fit for our clients.
