Meet the team
Darren Gaertner
President & Broker
I am a Los Angeles–based luxury real estate broker specializing in high-end residential properties across the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Known for a strategic, detail-driven approach, I provide clients with discreet representation, strong negotiation, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
Beyond real estate, integrity and service are central to my work. In 1996, I was honored to run the Olympic Torch in recognition of my community service—an experience that reflects the values I bring to every client relationship: commitment, responsibility, and excellence.
Luxury real estate requires more than market knowledge—it demands trust, precision, and advocacy. I am dedicated to delivering results while upholding the highest standards of professionalism.
Lucy Anayan
Sr. VP Property Management
I’m a Los Angeles–based luxury property manager with 20 years of experience caring for high-value residential and mixed-use properties. I take a hands-on, detail-obsessed approach to management, focused on protecting asset value, minimizing stress for owners, and keeping properties performing at their best.
I’m known for anticipating issues before they become problems, managing trusted vendors with precision, and treating every property as if it were my own. Discretion, accountability, and clear communication are central to how I work.
For owners who want peace of mind and long-term value—not just oversight—I provide reliable, white-glove property management in one of the most demanding markets in the country.
Ryan Peters
Investor Specialist
I’m a Los Angeles real estate agent specializing in foreclosures and first-time home buyers. I help clients navigate the market with confidence, whether they’re purchasing their first home or seeking smart investment opportunities.
With deep knowledge of distressed properties and local neighborhoods, I guide my clients through every step of the process—from financing and negotiations to closing. My goal is to make homeownership accessible, strategic, and stress-free.
If you’re ready to buy your first home or explore foreclosure opportunities, I’m here to help you make the right move.
