Born & raised in Southern California; Luke is a rare So Cal native! Before his career in real estate, Luke worked in the retail and wholesale fashion industry. Working as a liaison between titans of the industry like Coach, Kenneth Cole, Nautica, Macy’s, Bloomingdales; Luke honed his negotiating skills while maintaining the hard-earned trust of executives on both sides of the wholesale - retail relationship.

At the heart of Luke’s style is the essential task of listening to the needs & desires of all parties involved, then analyzing the available options to arrive at the best possible outcome. People desire to be heard & to attain the property of their dreams.

In today’s world, we must learn to marry new technology with tried & true established techniques.

Testimonials
"Luke Allen is a very friendly, knowleageable individual. From the moment i met him he listened to my needs. He always made me feel as if i was the most important client he had, I felt exclusive VIP treatment, always had time to respond and guide me through all aspects of purchasing. I would and will recommend him to all friends neighbors and anyone in need of a real estate agent. I feel that if I had dealt with someone other than Luke Allen, i would not have received the same attention, information and the results might have been different. Magnificent individual God Bless him!! Tony Serpas, Van Nuys, Ca"

-Haik Muradyan, Client
"Luke is extremely knowledgeable of the marketplace and provided us with timely and relevant information every step of the way. He packaged information on potential homes based on our criteria, met us in multiple locations for showings, followed up with agents, and never pushed us in a direction we didn’t want to go. He guided us on our initial offer and helped us get our home at a price with which we were very comfortable. He stayed engaged with the other agent, escrow, and our mortgagor the entire time, staying in constant communication with us and explaining options at every decision point. I strongly recommend him and we will definitely use him again in the future! Michael M, Los Angeles"

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work
with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that
matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home,
show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle
all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home
the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar.
Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be
the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
