Proving they are true leaders in a complex real estate market, two individual agents and five teams from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties have been recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal as among the most dynamic residential real estate agents in Los Angeles County.

In its annual “Leaders of Influence - Residential Real Estate Brokers 2023” special section, the Journal shines a light on the hardworking agents and teams who have the knowledge, skills, and dedication to go the extra mile for their clients. They are recognized for their solid performance during the last 6 months of 2022 and first six months of 2023.

“In our real estate community, there are only so many individuals that have a large impact on the residential real estate scene. Our agents and teams who made it to the ‘Leaders of Influence’ list are clearly among them,” said Kathy King, Vice President and Regional Manager, Los Angeles. “They are a dynamic group who can be counted on to deliver in any economy.”

Following is a list of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties agents and teams featured in the August 21 issue of the Los Angeles Business Journal.
