Why Smart People Hire a Niche Realtor®
It is not unusual for people I meet to ask me why I specialize in selling homes to physicians.
Actually, the more interesting question is why more real estate agents don’t have special-focus clients. The business world is based on specialization: when your Lexus needs servicing, you take it to a dealership that has expertise in working on these cars. When you need an attorney to help you with estate planning, you call one who is experienced at setting up trusts and wills. And if you injure your back, you would almost always see an orthopaedic physician.
In this sense, real estate has lagged and it’s time to catch-up. It has always made sense to me to specialize because many physicians prefer to work with a Realtor® who has lived in a physician household and who also worked in medicine. I “get it.” I know what questions to ask them, how to work around their demanding schedules and which neighborhoods near medical centers will be a good fit.
On the other hand, I have no relatives in the entertainment industry, nor have I ever worked in that field. There are other agents who have unique insights I lack and who would therefore probably be a better fit.
In the end, it is all about serving the client’s best interest. Real estate is evolving and my crystal ball tells me that industry-centric agents will increasingly be in demand by discriminating clients.
California’s 25 Best High Schools: U.S. News Rankings 2016
The time of year has come once again for high schools nationwide to see how they stack up against their peers. U.S. News & World Report’s ‘Best High Schools’ ranking is out.
Ten high schools in California rank in the top 100 nationwide. An impressive 84 schools fall within the top 500.
A number of these great schools are located in Southern California and are close to major medical centers, e.g., Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies (proximity to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Kaiser-Permanente West Los Angeles, UCLA Medical Center, Providence St. John’s Health Center).
Watch 2 magicians destroy the anti-vaccine movement in 90 seconds
Strong language – but all true. I worked as a data scientist for 12 years on the Vaccine Safety Datalink. Convincing 200 physicians and scientists on this project across the U.S. to lie about vaccine safety is just as implausible as believing a Hollywood celebrity knows more about the subject than those 200 people.

Luxury Home Websites Target Wealthy Foreign Buyers
Real estate has become more and more specialized in order to serve the needs of buyers.
For instance, physician relocation is my speciality: I’ve been helping doctors from all around the country and even outside the U.S. who are moving to Los Angeles with the purchase of their homes. Other real estate agents work with entertainment industry clients, etc.
The latest niche has evolved out of globalization and the emergence of wealthy foreign buyers. Some are moving to the United States, whereas others are purchasing investment properties in hot real estate markets.
Luxury Portfolio, of which my brokerage Pinnacle Estate Properties, Inc. is a member, recently blogged about its relationship with Juwai.com, the premier website for targeting Chinese buyers looking for real estate in our country. Luxury Portfolio noted that by having its listings cross-posted on a local Chinese website, its real estate affiliates will benefit from an increased presence among this affluent audience.
