Finding a good broker - Los Angeles

[Account Closed]

Hi!

I live in the Los Angeles area and I am in the process of gathering my investment team before I pursue my very first acquisition later this year.

Some key players in any team, from what I gather, include a local broker (who works strictly on commission), an accountant, and an attorney. It has been suggested to me numerous times that gathering your team prior to acquiring any real estate is essential to success.

I would like to start going out and meeting with potential brokers in my area so that I may start this process, but I'd like to know if anyone can recommend any in LA, particularly in the Koreatown/downtown and Mar Vista/Palms (90066) areas? These are the submarkets I would like to check out.

Your help is greatly appreciated!
