Howard Zuckerman

Established as one of Los Angeles’ top real estate agents and ranked in the top 1% of all Berkshire Hathaway agents nationwide, top producing agent HOWARD ZUCKERMAN provides superior representation and unparalleled results for his select clientele of buyers and sellers.

HOWARD’S expertise comprises the entire spectrum of residential properties, from condominiums to extraordinary multi-million dollar ultra-luxury homes, in every Los Angeles and Ventura County neighborhood. HOWARD’S business philosophy is simple:

“My first task is to provide my clients with exceptional insight into the residential market. Clear communication helps us gain an accurate profile of their needs and desires. The goal is to ensure that their decisions are prudent and the experience is smooth and enjoyable. Then, I put my negotiating skills to work in order to create the opportunity for them to execute a deal they feel completely confident making.”

The three benchmarks - comprehensive marketing, high selling price, and short time on market - form the foundation of HOWARD’S strategic approach to each and every listing.

It is no wonder that more than half of his business comes from the enthusiastic referrals of previous clients.
