David Vertlieb is the founder, CEO, and Broker of Record at The L.A. Real Estate Agency, Inc. As the owner of an independent boutique real estate brokerage in Los Angeles, David offers a flexible, efficient, and highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With nearly two decades of experience, he represents buyers, sellers, and real estate investors with a hands-on, straightforward approach focused on results.
David specializes in luxury real estate on the Westside of Los Angeles and works with a wide range of clients, from first-time buyers to high-profile individuals in sports, entertainment, and business. His background in sales, marketing, and negotiation allows him to manage even the most complex transactions with clarity and precision. He is consistently ranked among the top 10% of all real estate agents in Los Angeles and is known for his professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail. His work spans many of the Westside’s most sought-after neighborhoods, including Brentwood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Pacific Palisades.
A key advantage David brings to his clients is his ability to uncover unique opportunities beyond the open market. Through long-standing relationships and a strong network, he consistently sources off-market properties and private listings that are not available to the public. This gives buyers direct access to homes with less competition and allows sellers to present their property efficiently to serious, highly motivated buyers actively looking to purchase.
Outside of real estate, David enjoys spending time with his Cockapoo, Wilma. He is the team captain of his hockey team, a member of the Porsche Club of America, and serves on the board of directors of his homeowners association. He is involved in local neighborhood advocacy groups and maintains a strong connection to his alma mater, the University of Arizona, where he is a dedicated Wildcats fan and supporter of the athletic program.
If you are considering buying or selling in Los Angeles, David brings the experience, network, and strategy to deliver exceptional results.
