Licensed CA Real Estate Agent | CA DRE #02169261 | eXp Realty of Greater Los Angeles, Inc.
I'm Brian Grushkin, an LA based real estate agent specializing in servicing buyers and sellers in the Greater Los Angeles area, San Gabriel Valley, Palm Springs and the High Desert. I grew up in Humboldt County and relocated to LA in 2000 to attend college. I'm a UCLA graduate with years of experience working in financial consulting and music publishing.
I write about real estate the way I practice it: plainly, honestly, and with real respect for how much is at stake in a home transaction. Every article on this site is written from experience, not filler.
I'm part of eXp Realty of Greater Los Angeles, Inc., and am a member of The Borges Team of Pasadena, which means I bring the full resources of that team to every client I work with.
