Erik Flexner

PROFESSIONALLY:
WHAT I DO: For over 2 decades, I have been a top 1% worldwide Realtor, devoted to serving the Los Angeles luxury real estate market in destinations ranging from Hancock Park to the edges of LA for high-end clientele including celebrities and entrepreneurs.

Success oriented clients seek my help because I am a skilled negotiator, innovative marketer and extremely well connected. My team and I are also hired by developers to advise, market and sell new home projects. With me and my group, expect nothing less than a seasoned team of experts that will offer a deep network of local buyers and sellers, around the clock communication, unsurpassed market knowledge and a selection of tools and resources that enhance every step of the experience, all the while maintaining and respecting your privacy and treating your transaction with the utmost integrity.

PERSONALLY:
I was born in Israel to a Danish mother and American father. I have lived on four continents and speak six languages. Early experiences on an Israeli Kibbutz and later in paramilitary training have taught me to think outside of the box. Other highlights include becoming a Rhodes Scholarship semi-finalist, working in the U.S. Congress, jogging with President Clinton, attending the Kyoto Summit, 'The Longest Commute in the World' (ask me why!), dancing as an extra for the Khirov Ballet, performing Brazilian dance at the Ford Ampitheater, The Kodak Theatre and the L.A. Theatre Center and founding one of the most successful Japanese networking organizations on the west coast. I have been a big brother in Big Brothers Big Sisters LA and have looked after my 'little' ever since. I have four young children and am married to the marketing director, Jenna Flexner.
