As a fourth-generation Sherman Oaks native, Alan continues in a long lineage of realtors—most famously his father, who opened and managed the first San Fernando Valley Jon Douglas office in the 1970s. These real estate roots allowed Alan to amass a wealth of distinctive knowledge on The Valley’s many diverse neighborhoods. They also allowed him to cultivate an extensive network of longstanding relationships across the area, earning him a reputation as one of the most sought-after listing agents in the Valley.

 

Alan’s clients frequently praise his enthusiasm, responsiveness and relentless attention to detail throughout the entire process of selling or buying. His insider knowledge of the loan process confers a further advantage, owing to his previous experience as a loan officer. And in an ever-changing online marketplace, Alan’s high-tech marketing is some of the best in the business, allowing him to aggressively market each property locally, nationally and globally.

When it comes to selling properties held under trust and probate, Alan is a true expert, serving as the Executive Director of the Trust and Probate Division at Compass. In this role, he also functions as an educator, teaching and giving lectures on the unique complexities of these transactions. Working closely with estate planning attorneys, probate and trust litigation attorneys, CPAs and other financial advisors, he helps clients to navigate the entire process with ease.

 

Alan has further made a name for himself as the Director of the Architectural Division at John Aaroe/Pacific Union, and now with Compass. With decades of experience selling architectural homes, he’s proficient at marketing these gems to the public to showcase their quintessential appeal and value.
