Elevate your success Real estate is a personal business, but it can be hard to concentrate on cultivating relationships when you’re worried about where your next deal is coming from. At John Aaroe Group, you can do what you do best, knowing you’re backed by a sound business plan, expert support, and powerful marketing and technology.
Your management team is made up of supportive partners, not competing agents. You gain experienced support, personal coaching and proven strategies from the best in the industry. Even the business model is agent-driven, not feedriven. Our company makes money when you sell homes, and our job is to help you do it.
Elevate “This firm stands out in a way others can’t because they are simply too large to hear their agents’ needs.” Clinton Wade | Sunset Strip
“The company is run by people you can walk in and speak to, who live in the area, have sold L.A. real estate, been in the trenches and understand how it is to be an agent in Los Angeles.” Holland Ashrafnia | Beverly Hills
Upgrade your environment In real estate, you have the freedom of working from anywhere. But flying solo, you can miss out on powerful energy, inspiration, ideas and leads. Until now, few real estate offices did much to inspire that kind of synergy.
John Aaroe Group’s uniquely beautiful surroundings in Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, Downtown L.A., Sunset Strip and Brentwood (coming soon), are designed to maximize the power of the office. Every detail, from colors and lighting to innovative community spaces, is designed to welcome you, delight you, and keep the energy flowing.
Upgrade “Every agent is a small business that needs attention and direction. John Aaroe Group delivers concentrated individual support.”
“Joining this firm has been by far my best move ever. I could not be prouder of being a John Aaroe Group agent.”
Kevin Bourland | Pasadena

Raise your confidence John Aaroe realized from the start that taking care of agents is the first key to success. “Our agents are our partners,” he says. “My job is to send them to the front door better prepared and more confident than anyone else in town.” His company builds that confidence in many ways — all designed to make you more assured, more at ease, and more effective.
Raise
“You don’t get lost in the mix here. You are an important part of the success of the company. You are aware of it every day. You feel like you matter.”
“JAG really allows you to run your business without getting in your way — but anytime I need something it’s a phone call away, and we get straight to solutions.”

Gus Ruelas, Manager Gus Ruelas began his successful real estate career over fifteen years ago at RE/ Max in San Marino. When Prudential John Aaroe and Associates opened its Pasadena location in 2000, he joined the firm. He quickly became one of its top producers, specializing in a full spectrum of properties from first homes to luxury estates. He also served as assistant manager and company mentor for a number of years. As Gus helped train and develop new licensees, his skill at guiding successful careers emerged. Now, as Branch Manager of John Aaroe Group Pasadena, he’s using that experience to the fullest to create an innovative environment where agents can flourish.

Sarah Rogers Sarah began her career in commercial real estate in 1994 and moved to residential properties in 2001, working with a major independent broker specializing in estates. She later joined a mega-firm; ten years later, she began thinking about a change. Sarah who holds an MBA in marketing and finance, spent a year interviewing and researching companies. In the end, she chose John Aaroe Group. “Hearing such positive things about John meant something to me,” she says. “When you’re working at a small firm, you’re aligned with someone’s singular vision. The reputation and character behind that vision are vitally important.” Sarah also says that other key factors in her decision were to join an office where she would be well supported by both an outstanding manager and the staff, and Pasadena’s Gus Ruelas impressed her. “He’s not so far removed from having been in the agent world,” she says. “Gus is a valuable resource to me.” She views the company support, including the marketing team, to be critically important in delivering quality marketing and advertising for her clients.

Kevin Bourland A resident of South Pasadena for two decades, Kevin came to real estate from a career as an actor and director. Today, he draws on his years of experience in working with demanding professionals in the artistic, corporate and advertising communities in serving his clients. After eight years with a large corporate firm, Kevin decided to take his unique skills to a different company, one focused on listening to its agents. “We’re the ones on the street,” he says. “Every agent is a ‘small business’ that needs attention and direction. John Aaroe Group delivers concentrated individual support.” The company’s renowned top management team was the primary reason Kevin chose John Aaroe Group. He was immediately impressed by their enthusiasm, vision for doing something unique, and openness to ideas and suggestions from agents. Kevin also appreciates the firm’s positive work environment and congenial people. “When it comes to my co-workers and clients, working with nice people is a priority for me,” he smiles.

Tracy Do Having worked with John Aaroe at another company, Tracy was intrigued when the real estate icon launched a new firm. But her decision to move was based on much more than that. “It certainly started with his reputation, but there’s so much more there to support it,” she says. “When I met the management and administrative team, I was so impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. And then there’s the icing on the cake: the office. I took one look and thought, ‘I get to come to work here every day? Done!’ It’s been a breath of fresh air.” Tracy likes the freedom and the sense of entrepreneurship in real estate, and she’s found that John Aaroe Group is the perfect place for her approach to the business. “I like that management is available, decisions can be made quickly, and management not only listens to us but acts on our input.” Tracy has found that the John Aaroe Group brand appeals to consumers in her marketplace — that it’s professional, yet progressive and in tune with their changing needs. “It’s gratifying to know this firm will always keep an open mind and listen to us. They know we’re out there every day adapting to consumer needs, and our input is important to our mutual growth and success.”

Max Pellegrini A Realtor since 1993, Max has represented over $155 million in closed sales in the San Gabriel Valley over the last six years, closing over 200 transactions since 2009 alone. He moved from a larger company to John Aaroe Group because “I needed the challenge; I got too comfortable always being the main guy.” He likes the firm’s Tanner Market location in Old Pasadena, the support it gives him on big estate listings, and its ongoing investment in critical technological tools. He also enjoys “the really nice people” and appreciates the beautiful, open boutique style environment. “It really makes you want to bring your clients here,” he says. Max couldn’t be better suited to a career as a top agent. “I love making the deal happen, I enjoy being a part of the huge family decision, and I love architecture,” he says. In John Aaroe Group, he’s found the ideal place to pursue his passion.

Brandon Road | Pasadena An agent since 2000, Brandon made the move to John Aaroe Group because he was ready to step his career up. “I was comfortable at my old firm. It was a cool environment, and I really liked my colleagues. However, my business was stagnant. The company didn’t offer any help to increase production. John Aaroe Group has enabled me to take my business to the next level to become a top producer.” He chose John Aaroe Group because he needed a company designed around helping agents produce, one that would “leave me alone when I wanted it and be there when I needed it. That blend empowers selfmotivated/ self-employed people.” Brandon looks to the firm for education, inspiration, and progressive thinking. “My clients instantly perceive John Aaroe Group as a company that’s established, yet fresh and relevant,” he says. “That combination is magnetic.” Brandon believes agents who aren’t willing to get uncomfortable and move with change are missing out on their full potential. “For the majority of us, the old real estate company model of being fed business is not designed to make you independent and build your success,” he says. “John Aaroe Group focuses on giving agents the tools and knowledge they need to perform at their peak.”
