At Dilbeck Real Estate we enjoy helping people buy and sell their homes. We also take our role as trusted advisor, expert negotiator and skilled facilitator seriously. Being a local, family-owned company, the people who live in the neighborhoods we serve are especially important to us. Today, we use advanced technology and marketing to help achieve a vision that began decades ago. Dilbeck Real Estate was built one relationship at a time upon a commitment to honesty, integrity, professionalism and superior service. From the beginning, a young Ray Dilbeck dreamed of a real estate company where every relationship is important. For generations we have begun lasting and trusted relationships with a handshake. Today, we start many of those same relationships with a text or email. By focusing on what is important to each unique individual and family we continue to deliver premier service in our ever changing world. We are a community of real estate professionals dedicated to making a difference with integrity, innovation, care and excellence. We will guide our actions by the highest ethical standards. We will preserve and build upon the excellent reputation established by our founders. We will consistently provide superior service through our unwavering commitment to honesty, integrity, knowledge, skill and innovation. We will continually enhance our service with new technology and the most current marketing systems. We will encourage a work atmosphere where personal growth, creativity and a problem-solving attitude are cultivated. We will foster our “family� oriented environment. We will continue as strong and progressive leaders in our communities and industry. We will make positive contributions to the communities we serve.

A GROWING FAMILY A real estate company is only as powerful and progressive as their team of agents, and we’re proud to have created a successful and diverse team that only continues to grow year over year.
At Dilbeck, we’ve never played by the same rules as other real estate companies. We were founded as a family company and continue to maintain the ideals of family, support, and authenticity in an increasingly generic world. You cannot digitize the mentor or management experience. Where most have raced to the finish line of digital interfaces and turned recruiting into a game of demographically-generated numbers, we’ve stayed analog.
Whether it’s the rush of newly-licensed agents or the joy and passion of experienced Realtors®, at Dilbeck, we’re always excited to welcome new members into our ever-growing family. We recognize it’s a unique journey on which each of these agents has chosen to embark. Being a Realtor® for many means professional freedom and the ability to put to work for themselves the skills they may have spent years honing. We’re proud to have been the choice of so many creative, powerful, and hard-working people.
Our Dilbeck agents are treated as part of a growing conversation and are introduced to company culture through genuine interactions, one-on-one conversations, and invited to meaningfully contribute to the company story in their own unique way. We’re proud that every new agent brings something different to our offices and to our clients. At Dilbeck, we encourage all our agents to find their own voice in real estate and take their seat at our table and make their voice heard.
Long time agent, Josie Earl, reminds us why she herself joined Dilbeck. “Dilbeck is one the most caring companies that I have had the opportunity to work with. We have the highest work ethic and Realtors® that truly care about their clients.” Josie said.

UNIQUELY SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIAN At Dilbeck Real Estate, we’ve spent generations watching the communities we serve (and call home) grow. Bell-bottom clad Dilbeck Realtors were selling bungalows in the 60’s. Amid a sea of shoulder pads and power suits we helped the neon generation get their start in building the exclusive enclaves of the San Gabriel Valley. Since then, we’ve only grown. Today, we have 13 offices across Southern California that sell acres on private islands in Westlake Village and celebrity designed estates in the Hollywood Hills. We’ve helped new couples find their first homes (and watched proudly as their family and ours grow through the generations). But at Dilbeck, we’re not simply watching Southern California evolve….we’re evolving with it. Our Realtors share the same deep love of their communities and local knowledge only residents, community advocates, and families can acquire. We’re passionate about our neighborhoods, cities, and our state. When Raymond T. Dilbeck founded our company nearly 70 years ago, he did so with his family and his community. Today, that family-owned and operated company from Southern California, is a nationally ranked and recognized leader in the real estate industry with footholds in nearly every major city in the region. We’re proud to be the diverse, independent, and tight-knit industry leader that thoroughly represents the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of Southern California. We’re proud to support some of the nations top ranked agents and thrilled by the profound recognition we’ve earned in 2016 alone. We measure our success not by numbers and statistics, but by the communities we’ve helped to build and the clients who have been part of our real estate family for generations.

MARKETING: ELEVATED
MARKETING: ELEVATED This year, we’ve elevated our marketing game. Keeping in line with the progressive culture at Dilbeck Real Estate, we’ve re-imagined our marketing materials and strategy to better represent our core values and traditionally modern approach. NEW SIGNS OF LIFE For many years, the deep green of Dilbeck signage has dotted city streets, dominated real estate marketing, and been a presence in communities throughout Southern California. We’re proud of the heritage and history of our company, and the many successes Dilbeck Real Estate has experienced under the banner of green and gold. However, as we take our steps into a thoroughly modern infrastructure and look to pave new paths in the industry, we’ve reinvented ourselves once again with an eye to sleek and modern elegance.
MODERN, CLEAN & MINIMAL DESIGN At the very heart of our reinvention is the unveiling of a new logo. Dilbeck Real Estate has long been synonymous with elegance, professionalism, and approachability. Our new logo expresses the modern, professional, and streamlined approach we’ve undertaken. Refreshing our logo goes beyond revitalizing a legacy real estate company, but embodies the passion and ingenuity for which Dilbeck Real Estate is known.
FRESH FACE. FRESH CARDS. Our agents embody the very best of Southern California as forward thinking, community minded, and skilled members of our fair state. We’ve sought to merge the classically elegant history of our company and associates with the modern and minimalist brand newly established by our creative team.

MARKETING: ELEVATED
LET’S BE SOCIAL TOGETHER Social media is playing an increasingly large part in establishing and communicating a company’s identity. This year, we’ve refreshed and colorized our digital footprint with a focus on local entertainment and events drenched in a uniquely Southern California color scheme. We’ve decided to put the focus where it belongs, on the clients and communities we serve. By providing an entertaining experience we tie real estate to real life, bridging the gap between the virtual and digital worlds.
REBRANDED LISTING MATERIALS Our new listing materials include an elegant company-centered presentation book that represents the history, diversity, and professionalism of Dilbeck Real Estate and our excellent affiliates. This allows all of our agents the ability to benefit from the global reach, rich professional portfolio, and power affiliates we’ve amassed over nearly 7 decades. Apart from our company-centered listing book, we’ve also released an agent Profile Book. Compiled and designed by our talented creative team, this book is prepared personally for each agent. The newly launched and re-branded Profile Book allows agents the opportunity to present a cohesive, professional image entirely unique to their experience, skill-set, and personality.
RESPONSIVE & RELEVANT WEBSITE As the online search for homes becomes a driving force in real estate, we’ve focused on bringing a first-in-class digital experience to our home buyers and sellers. A complete set of online tools, comprehensive search capabilities, and a wealth of local information makes our newly launched website a valuable asset to our current and future clients.

THE DILBECK
CHARITABLE FOUNDATION At Dilbeck Real Estate, Charity Begins at Home! We understand how important it is to give back to the community.

In 2017, our foundations is still going strong.
D
ilbeck Real Estate along with Sales Partners and employees make contributions to the Foundation and in return, the Foundation contributes to local non-profit organizations that promote the welfare of the com-
munities they serve. These charities support civic and community services, healthcare, scientific research, youth activities, art and culture and create positive changes in and around the communities in which Dilbeck Real Estate serves. Over the years, the Foundation has contributed over $400,000 to various organizations. Our partner organizations share our vision for a healthy and safe Southern California, and have the same ideals that have helped Dilbeck Real Estate remain a stable, company for decades. This year, we’ve partnered with local organizations that are invested in creating a safe, healthy, and vibrant future for all. We’ve been a part of the communities we serve for decades and have been involved in finding generations of families their homes. We’ve built futures, secured finances and helped thousands of friends and clients find their place in our unique state. Needless to say, Southern California is important to us and we’ve dedicated our time and resources to ensure the communities we know and love continue to grow and thrive.

With your support, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. Through our 2020 Strategic Plan, Habitat for Humanity will serve more people than ever before through decent and affordable housing. This year, Dilbeck Real Estate partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Pasadena, CA to lend much needed support and manpower to their local efforts.

With furniture that statistic drops to 1%.” - HumbleDesign. They aren’t just installing furniture into these homes, but installing hope. Dilbeck Real Estate is a proud sponsor and volunteer for Pen + Napkin, supporting their efforts to bring beauty, hope, and a sense of home to those in need. Our agents join these designers and home experts to lend their talents and passion to a powerful and impactful cause. Our partnership with P+N seeks to build on the foundation we continue to build within our communities, friends, and neighbors.

While a home may lay its foundation with concrete and steel, education is the foundation from which each life is built. At Dilbeck, we’ve partnered with LAUSD Homeless Youth to ensure every child has access to the very foundation that will carry them through to success. Through a Backpack Drive, our agents are sponsoring backpacks outfitted with all the supplies needed to support a child through their academic school year. So far, we’ve been able to donate much needed school materials to homeless or at-risk youth, with more agents answering the call to action each day.

WHAT’S NEXT
THE BIG QUESTION:
WHAT COMES NEXT? We continually strive to exceed expectations and remain true to the core values that built our company nearly 70 years ago. Today, Dilbeck Real Estate has come to embody service, commitment, and excellence in Southern California real estate. We will continue to reach out to an ever growing real estate family and raise the bar in service, technology, and marketing.
26
WHAT’S NEXT
We’re not gonna lie, the past was pretty rad. We’ve been a part of Southern California history for decades, and look forward to the trends, changes, and eccentricities only our fair state can bring. But, we’re not concerned with the past, we’re looking toward the future. A future where our company continues to embrace and innovate along with not only our industry, but with our communities. Serving 4 valleys and countless cities across Southern California puts us in the unique position to not only follow along in Southern Californian history, but to make it. Dilbeck Real Estate will continue to walk the important line between the personal service and family values of days past and the technological innovations of the future. We understand that a real estate revolution doesn’t happen overnight, and without some serious work. We tip our hats to all the support staff, agents, affiliates, and partners that have made 2017 a year to remember. Through the hard work, imagination, and passion of our teams we’ve been able to remain focused on exceeding the expectations of both our clients and agents. We’re Inspired, We’re Passionate and We’re Bringing the Heat. As a company one of the things we remain the proudest of is our deeply held belief in the personal nature of real estate. We’re continuing our commitment to maintaining excellence in management, growth, development, and service. While some companies may stray from their core beliefs, and reinvention often comes at the cost of their very foundation, at Dilbeck, our core values of integrity, honesty, hard work, and passion will always remain at the very heart of every decision we make. We will innovate, and continue our 2017 momentum. We will unveil new platforms, digital services, and client interfaces designed to enhance internal organizational structures and client communications. Our goal: make selling easy. Not surprisingly, we’re proud of the leaps and bound we’ve made so far this year, and it won’t end there. We’re rolling out new digital experiences, promotional materials, agent friendly templates designed to show the new face of Dilbeck Real Estate.
