The five markets

Five neighborhoods. One agent. Twelve years of closings.

Adrián’s practice is geographically narrow on purpose. Each market below is one he has personally closed in every year since 2014. Click through for editorial notes, current trophy inventory, and Adrián’s view on where each pocket trades.

Malibu
Malibu

27 miles of coast. One zip code that matters.

From Carbon Beach south to Broad Beach north, Malibu's first-line oceanfront pockets remain the most coveted in California. Carbon, Paradise Cove, La Costa, and Broad each behave like a separate market — with frontages priced by the linear foot and inventory measured in single digits.

Bel Air
Bel Air

Behind two gates. Stone Canyon and beyond.

East Gate, West Gate, Bel Air Crest, and Stone Canyon — Bel Air's compounded estates remain the deepest pool of $30M+ inventory inside the 405. Multi-acre walled lots, generational provenance, and a market that trades quietly behind brokers who know who actually owns what.

Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills

North of Sunset. The Flats. Trousdale.

The 90210 trophy market splits cleanly: walled estates north of Sunset, the symmetrical streets of the Flats, and the mid-century glass of Trousdale Estates. Adrián has closed across all three, with deep relationships in the Beverly Park, Mountain Drive, and Hillcrest pockets.

Holmby Hills
Holmby Hills

Mapleton, Carolwood, and the most valuable residential mile in America.

Holmby's sub-mile of Carolwood, Mapleton, and Charing Cross holds a per-lot valuation higher than any equivalent stretch in the United States. Inventory is measured in years, not months. Most trades happen entirely off-market between five known brokers.

Pacific Palisades
Pacific Palisades

The Bluffs. The Riviera. The Huntington.

The Palisades trades on canyon, bluff, and view — with three distinct trophy pockets: the south-facing Bluffs above Will Rogers, the manicured Riviera, and Huntington Palisades' walled flats. A market that has compressed inventory while prices held firm post-2024.
