NEIL RAIN PERSAD Biggest, Best, Most this and that. You'll hear those themes repeated throughout real estate marketing. None of those superlatives matter, nor are they ever very accurate or truthful. What matters is taking care of the client. NEIL RAIN PERSAD Every week, I inherit a client that “hates” their agent. I’ve literally built my brand on clients coming to me from “big” agents; disappointed, angry, or after experiencing dishonest representation. NEIL RAIN PERSAD 1 2 3 OUR DIFFERENCE The high-end and luxury residential markets demand the principles of personal service, trust, reliability, discretion, and confidentiality. It is sorely missing, and why 10 years ago, I decided to leave the big firms, start my own, and make these traits the core focus of the company. A decade later, and with many popular local real estate companies in major lawsuits, these values have never meant more for buyers and sellers. Here is why some of the biggest names in business and entertainment are turning to Kensington & Beverly. READ MORE Reduced Fees to combat inflation and Measure ULA.

View listing 3 34 1 2 3 Next About the area Sherman Oaks. history Sherman Oak’s history begins like many of the other Los Angeles neighbourhoods; land that was subdivided and sold. The Los Angeles Pacific Railroad was also a motivator. Interestingly, the status of the area was recognised in 1991 when homeowners in 2 separate adjacent pockets petitioned with the city to join their boundaries. The 2 areas technically found in Van Nuys, successfully had the boundaries of Sherman Oaks redrawn to include them. This was done in an effort to gain the affluent social status of the neighbourhood. Sherman Oaks is very much a family oriented neighbourhood. It’s a bustling hub, with a mix of local boutiques, a revolving door of interesting eateries, and the address for many independent entertainment management, tax, and production companies. Companies that don’t need a premiere and costly West Side address, have found Sherman Oaks to be a great alternative without compromise. Business owners and executive employees have driven the demand for real estate in Sherman Oaks by buying and upgrading homes here over the past decade. Values have risen tremendously, and demand remains high. Properties share similar profile to that of Bel Air, over the hill. While it doesn’t have the palatial and grand estates of Bel Air, the typical home prices here range from $1.3-$5m. More recently, a few larger sales have taken place, but they are not typical of the area, and remain in a small group of luxury homes sold. There is a large mix of property styles due to the spurts in development over the years. The Cape Cod and Farm House style is popping up quite frequently at the moment but you can just as easily find a charming mid-century modern in the Hills with views and a pool for $3m. Notable residents include: Shia LaBeouf, Miley Cyrus, Bella Thorn, and Demi Lavato. 91423 sherman oaks, ca Community Information.

He was born and raised in London with parents of Caribbean descent. His parents emigrated from Trinidad, and found themselves as young adults in a harsh reality of a not so welcoming London in the 1970’s. From very humble beginnings, his Mum was an emergency room nurse, while his Dad worked his way from a nurse to a respected position at the United Nations. By advice of his primary school headmistress, he sat the entrance exam to Emanuel Secondary School, one of the top private schools in England. Receiving a half-scholarship to attend, he found himself surrounded by everyone from the affluent and notable, to royalty. At the end of every day, he would join a small group of outsiders at the train station who went home south of the river Thames, while the others went home to central London mansions and affluent lifestyles. Americans tend to pool all Brits into the same category, but the reality is that this was a clear illustration of the British class system. This contrast and unique ability to exist in both worlds was the unexpected honing of a skillset that would be invaluable in a later real estate career. After graduating, he had a falling out with his parents. Initially he stayed with a very talented and handy uncle who taught him carpentry and remodeling, and an aunt that put 3 meals on the table every day. A short-lived return to his parents ended horribly. Without their support, he related to life more as an artist, with an interest in art, architecture, decor, and music. After exhausting the aide of charitable friends and their families, he eventually found himself homeless at 16, living on the streets of London for an entire year while waiting for help from local assistance programs. His only belongings were two guitars; a Les Paul, and an Epiphone, along with a backpack holding a few clothes. After working odd jobs, including pizza delivery, he was taken in by a Venezuelan and Spanish Taekwondo champion Elias Biescas Rue, who taught him Taekwondo free of charge, and became a big brother and mentor to him. Under this guidance and training, he excelled at Taekwondo, and went on to compete at the national level, often knocking out opponents with Elias’ signature hook kick. In one sparring session, he regrettably broke the skull of the national champion at that time, with the same kick. This surprising education, life experience, training, and discipline would go on to shape his ethics and rules towards life, and ultimately his real estate practise. Slowly rebuilding his life, he worked at a sound production company loading trucks for events, with the promise to be trained as a sound engineer. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with his parents. 5 years had passed since the last time he had seen them. His Dad encouraged him to use his dual citizenship status and make a go of a life in the United States. Something he had wanted to do for himself, but had been unable to. Knowing there was a looming move to Los Angeles, he spent some time travelling and living around Europe, working odd jobs, and experiencing architecture and design around Europe first hand. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, initially staying with welcoming family, and subsequently set out on his own to begin the next chapter. He didn’t know anyone outside of a few family members. Returning to education while working 3 jobs, his first job was loading trucks at a Robinsons May distribution center. Later, while renting a small room in the hood, he taught Taekwondo where one of his students Wayne Chen, won an Olympic medal. Wayne gave one of his medals to him as a sign of appreciation. After graduating university with a bachelor’s in business management, he began a 15-year corporate career working at fortune 100 companies such as Disney, Sony, Goodrich, and eventually ended up in investment banking at Merrill Lynch during its golden years. During that time, he bought his first house and was misrepresented on the purchase. He learned everything a real estate agent shouldn’t be from this experience. Unexpectedly, just after rebuilding their relationship, his Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. Pulling the equity out of his home to pay for his father’s medical bills and to fund a life-saving surgery, his father didn’t survive, and passed away at 52 years old.

After working odd jobs, including pizza delivery, he was taken in by a Venezuelan and Spanish Taekwondo champion Elias Biescas Rue, who taught him Taekwondo free of charge, and became a big brother and mentor to him. Under this guidance and training, he excelled at Taekwondo, and went on to compete at the national level, often knocking out opponents with Elias’ signature hook kick. In one sparring session, he regrettably broke the skull of the national champion at that time, with the same kick. This surprising education, life experience, training, and discipline would go on to shape his ethics and rules towards life, and ultimately his real estate practise. Slowly rebuilding his life, he worked at a sound production company loading trucks for events, with the promise to be trained as a sound engineer. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with his parents. 5 years had passed since the last time he had seen them. His Dad encouraged him to use his dual citizenship status and make a go of a life in the United States. Something he had wanted to do for himself, but had been unable to. Knowing there was a looming move to Los Angeles, he spent some time travelling and living around Europe, working odd jobs, and experiencing architecture and design around Europe first hand. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, initially staying with welcoming family, and subsequently set out on his own to begin the next chapter. He didn’t know anyone outside of a few family members. Returning to education while working 3 jobs, his first job was loading trucks at a Robinsons May distribution center. Later, while renting a small room in the hood, he taught Taekwondo where one of his students Wayne Chen, won an Olympic medal. Wayne gave one of his medals to him as a sign of appreciation. After graduating university with a bachelor’s in business management, he began a 15-year corporate career working at fortune 100 companies such as Disney, Sony, Goodrich, and eventually ended up in investment banking at Merrill Lynch during its golden years. During that time, he bought his first house and was misrepresented on the purchase. He learned everything a real estate agent shouldn’t be from this experience. Unexpectedly, just after rebuilding their relationship, his Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.

He was born and raised in London with parents of Caribbean descent. His parents emigrated from Trinidad, and found themselves as young adults in a harsh reality of a not so welcoming London in the 1970’s. From very humble beginnings, his Mum was an emergency room nurse, while his Dad worked his way from a nurse to a respected position at the United Nations. By advice of his primary school headmistress, he sat the entrance exam to Emanuel Secondary School, one of the top private schools in England. Receiving a half-scholarship to attend, he found himself surrounded by everyone from the affluent and notable, to royalty. At the end of every day, he would join a small group of outsiders at the train station who went home south of the river Thames, while the others went home to central London mansions and affluent lifestyles. Americans tend to pool all Brits into the same category, but the reality is that this was a clear illustration of the British class system. This contrast and unique ability to exist in both worlds was the unexpected honing of a skillset that would be invaluable in a later real estate career. After graduating, he had a falling out with his parents. Initially he stayed with a very talented and handy uncle who taught him carpentry and remodeling, and an aunt that put 3 meals on the table every day. A short-lived return to his parents ended horribly. Without their support, he related to life more as an artist, with an interest in art, architecture, decor, and music.

Summary history For those that want to be away from the city, see greenery, wide roads, less traffic, and attain more space, Calabasas offers newer, gated luxury homes effectively mimicking those of European ancestry. The trend began with stars wanting not just seclusion, but also geographically being removed from the formula of the daily entertainment and sports grind. Evading paparrazi, and getting much more for your money compared to affluent city neighbourhoods was also a large motivator. The properties often have generous sized lots. The Oaks, a collection of individually gated homes within a gated community, is the most popular of all the developments. It is notably home to sports, reality and music celebrities, as well as entertainment managers. Calabasas is located where the San Fernando Valley meets the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains , about 30 miles (50 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles . Calabaza is the Spanish word for pumpkin or gourd, but the city name is also said to mean “where the wild geese fly” in the local Native American language. The original inhabitants were affiliated with the Chumash nation. The area was explored by the Spanish in the 18th century and settled early in the 1800s. In the second half of the 19th century, Calabasas became part of the estate of the Basque immigrant Miguel Leonis, the so-called “king of Calabasas,” and his Native American wife, Espiritu. After his death in 1889, several sites were developed as tourist facilities. The city incorporated in 1991, and the area has now become an affluent Los Angeles suburb. True to its name, Calabasas hosts an annual pumpkin festival in October. Notable residents living in The Oaks gated community include: Katie Holmes , Britney Spears, Ozzy Osbourne, Justin Bieber, Clay Matthews, The Jackson’s, Travis Barker, Nikki Sixx, among others.   Source https://www.britannica.com/place/Calabasas 91302 calabasas, ca Community Information.

He was born and raised in London with parents of Caribbean descent. His parents emigrated from Trinidad, and found themselves as young adults in a harsh reality of a not so welcoming London in the 1970’s. From very humble beginnings, his Mum was an emergency room nurse, while his Dad worked his way from a nurse to a respected position at the United Nations. By advice of his primary school headmistress, he sat the entrance exam to Emanuel Secondary School, one of the top private schools in England. Receiving a half-scholarship to attend, he found himself surrounded by everyone from the affluent and notable, to royalty. At the end of every day, he would join a small group of outsiders at the train station who went home south of the river Thames, while the others went home to central London mansions and affluent lifestyles. Americans tend to pool all Brits into the same category, but the reality is that this was a clear illustration of the British class system. This contrast and unique ability to exist in both worlds was the unexpected honing of a skillset that would be invaluable in a later real estate career. After graduating, he had a falling out with his parents. Initially he stayed with a very talented and handy uncle who taught him carpentry and remodeling, and an aunt that put 3 meals on the table every day. A short-lived return to his parents ended horribly. Without their support, he related to life more as an artist, with an interest in art, architecture, decor, and music. After exhausting the aide of charitable friends and their families, he eventually found himself homeless at 16, living on the streets of London for an entire year while waiting for help from local assistance programs. His only belongings were two guitars; a Les Paul, and an Epiphone, along with a backpack holding a few clothes. After working odd jobs, including pizza delivery, he was taken in by a Venezuelan and Spanish Taekwondo champion Elias Biescas Rue, who taught him Taekwondo free of charge, and became a big brother and mentor to him. Under this guidance and training, he excelled at Taekwondo, and went on to compete at the national level, often knocking out opponents with Elias’ signature hook kick. In one sparring session, he regrettably broke the skull of the national champion at that time, with the same kick. This surprising education, life experience, training, and discipline would go on to shape his ethics and rules towards life, and ultimately his real estate practise. Slowly rebuilding his life, he worked at a sound production company loading trucks for events, with the promise to be trained as a sound engineer. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with his parents. 5 years had passed since the last time he had seen them. His Dad encouraged him to use his dual citizenship status and make a go of a life in the United States. Something he had wanted to do for himself, but had been unable to. Knowing there was a looming move to Los Angeles, he spent some time travelling and living around Europe, working odd jobs, and experiencing architecture and design around Europe first hand. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, initially staying with welcoming family, and subsequently set out on his own to begin the next chapter. He didn’t know anyone outside of a few family members. Returning to education while working 3 jobs, his first job was loading trucks at a Robinsons May distribution center. Later, while renting a small room in the hood, he taught Taekwondo where one of his students Wayne Chen, won an Olympic medal. Wayne gave one of his medals to him as a sign of appreciation. After graduating university with a bachelor’s in business management, he began a 15-year corporate career working at fortune 100 companies such as Disney, Sony, Goodrich, and eventually ended up in investment banking at Merrill Lynch during its golden years. During that time, he bought his first house and was misrepresented on the purchase. He learned everything a real estate agent shouldn’t be from this experience.

Summary history Originally known as Laurelwood, a 20 acre area was donated by a prolific land-developer group who had the surnames; Whitley, Chandler, Van Nuys, and Lankershim. Mark Sennett was the recipient of the donation. He is credited as the film maker and director who cemented the careers of many including Charles Chaplin, Bing Crosby, and W.C. Fields. Not surprisingly, he used the 20 acres, to build a new studio, which today is home to CBS Studios, and known locally as the Radford lot as it sits on the corner of Radford Avenue and Ventura Blvd. The neighbourhood developed organically due to film production, which in turn fueled the need for industry, retail, and naturally, homes. In the 1990’s Studio City used to have many dead spots with not much excitement, and the odd burst of an interesting restaurant or bar. That isn’t the case today. Retail is hot, boutiques are plentiful, and there are countless coffee shops and restaurants for dates and family outings respectively. Carpenter school district is a target for many of our clients who buy property within the school district boundaries so their children can attend. Property price in the area range from $900K quainter but apt bungalows, to $7m mini-estates. Essentially the other side of the Hollywood Hills, the property profiles are similar but facing Ventura Blvd and the Valley versus Sunset Blvd and the West Side, bring a significant savings. The same property in the adjacent Hollywood Hills might cost 30% more. The typical property price for a bit of everything costs around $1.5m-2.5m. Anything architectural or with views or larger lots commands a larger premium. Production nearby always ensured a roster of TV stars moving to the area, but the boom of rock in the 80’s saw an influx of musicians, and even music managers.

He was born and raised in London with parents of Caribbean descent. His parents emigrated from Trinidad, and found themselves as young adults in a harsh reality of a not so welcoming London in the 1970’s. From very humble beginnings, his Mum was an emergency room nurse, while his Dad worked his way from a nurse to a respected position at the United Nations. By advice of his primary school headmistress, he sat the entrance exam to Emanuel Secondary School, one of the top private schools in England. Receiving a half-scholarship to attend, he found himself surrounded by everyone from the affluent and notable, to royalty. At the end of every day, he would join a small group of outsiders at the train station who went home south of the river Thames, while the others went home to central London mansions and affluent lifestyles. Americans tend to pool all Brits into the same category, but the reality is that this was a clear illustration of the British class system. This contrast and unique ability to exist in both worlds was the unexpected honing of a skillset that would be invaluable in a later real estate career. After graduating, he had a falling out with his parents. Initially he stayed with a very talented and handy uncle who taught him carpentry and remodeling, and an aunt that put 3 meals on the table every day. A short-lived return to his parents ended horribly. Without their support, he related to life more as an artist, with an interest in art, architecture, decor, and music. After exhausting the aide of charitable friends and their families, he eventually found himself homeless at 16, living on the streets of London for an entire year while waiting for help from local assistance programs. His only belongings were two guitars; a Les Paul, and an Epiphone, along with a backpack holding a few clothes. After working odd jobs, including pizza delivery, he was taken in by a Venezuelan and Spanish Taekwondo champion Elias Biescas Rue, who taught him Taekwondo free of charge, and became a big brother and mentor to him. Under this guidance and training, he excelled at Taekwondo, and went on to compete at the national level, often knocking out opponents with Elias’ signature hook kick. In one sparring session, he regrettably broke the skull of the national champion at that time, with the same kick. This surprising education, life experience, training, and discipline would go on to shape his ethics and rules towards life, and ultimately his real estate practise. Slowly rebuilding his life, he worked at a sound production company loading trucks for events, with the promise to be trained as a sound engineer. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with his parents. 5 years had passed since the last time he had seen them. His Dad encouraged him to use his dual citizenship status and make a go of a life in the United States. Something he had wanted to do for himself, but had been unable to. Knowing there was a looming move to Los Angeles, he spent some time travelling and living around Europe, working odd jobs, and experiencing architecture and design around Europe first hand. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, initially staying with welcoming family, and subsequently set out on his own to begin the next chapter. He didn’t know anyone outside of a few family members. Returning to education while working 3 jobs, his first job was loading trucks at a Robinsons May distribution center. Later, while renting a small room in the hood, he taught Taekwondo where one of his students Wayne Chen, won an Olympic medal. Wayne gave one of his medals to him as a sign of appreciation. After graduating university with a bachelor’s in business management, he began a 15-year corporate career working at fortune 100 companies such as Disney, Sony, Goodrich, and eventually ended up in investment banking at Merrill Lynch during its golden years. During that time, he bought his first house and was misrepresented on the purchase. He learned everything a real estate agent shouldn’t be from this experience. Unexpectedly, just after rebuilding their relationship, his Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. Pulling the equity out of his home to pay for his father’s medical bills and to fund a life-saving surgery, his father didn’t survive, and passed away at 52 years old. Neil was 25, almost $1m in debt, and back to rock bottom. Fortunately, a successful career unfolded, but the death of his father encouraged him to later walk away from it to begin following his love for art, interiors, property and décor.

You'll hear those themes repeated throughout real estate marketing. None of those superlatives matter, nor are they ever very accurate or truthful.

The high-end and luxury residential markets demand the principles of personal service, trust, reliability, discretion, and confidentiality. It is sorely missing, and why 10 years ago, I decided to leave the big firms, start my own, and make these traits the core focus of the company.

Americans tend to pool all Brits into the same category, but the reality is that this was a clear illustration of the British class system. This contrast and unique ability to exist in both worlds was the unexpected honing of a skillset that would be invaluable in a later real estate career. After graduating, he had a falling out with his parents. Initially he stayed with a very talented and handy uncle who taught him carpentry and remodeling, and an aunt that put 3 meals on the table every day. A short-lived return to his parents ended horribly. Without their support, he related to life more as an artist, with an interest in art, architecture, decor, and music. After exhausting the aide of charitable friends and their families, he eventually found himself homeless at 16, living on the streets of London for an entire year while waiting for help from local assistance programs. His only belongings were two guitars; a Les Paul, and an Epiphone, along with a backpack holding a few clothes. After working odd jobs, including pizza delivery, he was taken in by a Venezuelan and Spanish Taekwondo champion Elias Biescas Rue, who taught him Taekwondo free of charge, and became a big brother and mentor to him. Under this guidance and training, he excelled at Taekwondo, and went on to compete at the national level, often knocking out opponents with Elias’ signature hook kick. In one sparring session, he regrettably broke the skull of the national champion at that time, with the same kick. This surprising education, life experience, training, and discipline would go on to shape his ethics and rules towards life, and ultimately his real estate practise. Slowly rebuilding his life, he worked at a sound production company loading trucks for events, with the promise to be trained as a sound engineer. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with his parents. 5 years had passed since the last time he had seen them. His Dad encouraged him to use his dual citizenship status and make a go of a life in the United States. Something he had wanted to do for himself, but had been unable to. Knowing there was a looming move to Los Angeles, he spent some time travelling and living around Europe, working odd jobs, and experiencing architecture and design around Europe first hand. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, initially staying with welcoming family, and subsequently set out on his own to begin the next chapter. He didn’t know anyone outside of a few family members. Returning to education while working 3 jobs, his first job was loading trucks at a Robinsons May distribution center. Later, while renting a small room in the hood, he taught Taekwondo where one of his students Wayne Chen, won an Olympic medal. Wayne gave one of his medals to him as a sign of appreciation. After graduating university with a bachelor’s in business management, he began a 15-year corporate career working at fortune 100 companies such as Disney, Sony, Goodrich, and eventually ended up in investment banking at Merrill Lynch during its golden years. During that time, he bought his first house and was misrepresented on the purchase. He learned everything a real estate agent shouldn’t be from this experience. Unexpectedly, just after rebuilding their relationship, his Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. Pulling the equity out of his home to pay f About – Kensington & Beverly About Why Kensington Beverly Neil Rain Persad Interior Design & Staging Approach to Marketing Charity Contact Us About Why Kensington & Beverly Is Different. Kensington & Beverly is a unique and globally connected real estate boutique based in Beverly Hills that represents buyers and sellers of luxury property around greater Los Angeles. It is owned by Neil Rain Persad, the broker, and London native who specialises in high-end and luxury property. After a successful 15 year corporate career at fortune 50 companies, he left to begin a career in real estate. After bouncing from one firm to another, he quickly realised that no-one was really doing anything different. It was all a smoke screen. Everything was sales driven, and no-one really seemed to care about the client’s best interest. He left to start Kensington & Beverly in 2010, with a goal to shy away from the typical trend and metrics, and to focus on the client’s best interests at all times. That last sentence is what really separates Kensington & Beverly from everyone else. It was long past due for someone in real estate to really start listening to what the clients needed…. Client/Broker Lifetime Relationship. Consider me a white-glove service whose core value is centered on benefiting the client’s needs and goals. I don’t just sell luxury property. I take the time to learn who the clients are, where they came from, and where they plan to be in 10 years. This helps me guide their purchases, investments and sales. I will always advise you against bad purchases and advocate for the contrary Buyers Most agents tend to have an expiration on their patience. With me, I’ll take the time needed to get clients what they want. Often, that happens quite quickly, and it’s a matter of presenting the client in their best light so the seller wants to work with them over the competition. There is an art to it. Sometimes, that doesn’t happen immediately, and in those cases, it has taken 2+ years and a commitment to their changing circumstance and needs. In other cases, I have to protect the clients from themselves. Their excitement can lead them to do make irrational decisions and buying over-priced property. That’s when I get to work negotiating. A Smaller Number Of Listings At Once An agent with 20 listings at a time, ranging from $3m- $50m, will not have the availability to show, or the budget to market the lower priced listings. With the focus on a small handful of properties at once, there is no conflict of interest, and all my time is spent preparing, marketing, staging, meeting prospective buyers around the world, and showing the property personally multiple times a day, every day. You get me, not an assistant or inexperienced junior agent. Contrary to popular belief, an agent having many listings or sales is not a measure of how well you’ll be treated or how quickly your property will sell. Presenting the very best version of your property for sale, getting the highest level of interest, and ultimately highest price, takes a lot more care and attention than the conveyor belt process. I see it as selling art. Once the property goes to market, we all want it to sell quickly and for the highest price. Introducing the low volume and more exclusive price point model has proven its weight. Our properties don’t stay on market very long, and often have multiple offers over asking. It’s evident that an agent having too many active listings, hurts sellers as they simply cannot be in 20 places at one time and as available for each client. My recent listing in Brentwood had 17 offers, was in escrow in 2 days, and sold for several hundred thousand over asking. Previously, the listing sat on the market with a team of “top” agents for 2 years with little interest. Similarly, I had a client spontaneously in town from London for the weekend and he wanted to see a $15m modern property within walking distance from the Beverly Hills Hotel (his main criteria). There are few properties like it. The “top” agent, who has sold many homes in the area, did not respond for 36hrs as he was “very busy and also had an event to attend.” My client lost all interest and was on a flight back to London the next day. Unfortunately, this is a very common occurrence in our community. In another situation, a client who was in town from Beijing, had no interest in buying property at the time. I showed him one of our $8m listings, and he bought it on the spot because it reminded him of a house he used to frequent in his childhood. A World Class Presentation Luxury properties require a lot more than a website, drone video and a flyer. Most of our luxury properties are sold via personal relationships, emails and calls made to prospective buyers and exclusive partners. It is very much a personal Roladex venture. It involves going through an entire client list developed through decades of corporate roles, referrals, events, meetings and even chance encounters. Each property also receives an extensive print, web and social media marketing campaign as well as the traditional distribution and syndication through the multiple listing system. Off-Market Opportunities Many of our high-end properties are matched off-market from a buyer to seller. They never see the light of day and remain undisclosed for privacy. I do not publicise nor share images on the site or online. Signed N.D.A’s and exclusions lists are required by all prospective buyers. Sellers in the $30m+ range often prefer this route to avoid unnecessary solicitation and disruption to their private affairs. I always encourage owners of properties under $20m to go to market for maximum exposure due to a much larger volume of available buyers. In-House Staging & Decorating Further separating ourselves, all interior decorating, staging, photography and art are done in-house by skilled, unique and talented artisans. Our properties are presented with style. Rather than use the same design and staging firms as everyone else for the cookie-cutter look, our properties look lived in and have soul. This allows prospective buyers to relate and is yet another crucial vehicle to sell the property quickly. A Network Of Local & Exclusive International Brokers And Buyers. Kensington & Beverly are exclusive partners with Beauchamp Estates, the leading European boutique with an impressive client list. With offices in London, Cannes, Nice, Mykonos, Israel and New York, their footprint in the luxury high-end is untouched. As their sole partner here in Los Angeles, our buyer referral network is unmatched. In instances, there are a very small handful of buyers around the globe that can purchase certain properties. By having great relationships with other brokers in Los Angeles and around the globe, I have the potential interest list covered. In the luxury market, having international and local presence is key for our buyers and sellers. It is often the difference between selling a property, and it remaining on market without activity. take the next step Call 310.709.1242 Email Contact Us take the next step Find your dream property.

He was born and raised in London with parents of Caribbean descent. His parents emigrated from Trinidad, and found themselves as young adults in a harsh reality of a not so welcoming London in the 1970’s. From very humble beginnings, his Mum was an emergency room nurse, while his Dad worked his way from a nurse to a respected position at the United Nations.

Fortunately, a successful career unfolded, but the death of his father encouraged him to later walk away from it to begin following his love for art, interiors, property and décor. Upon being told that the Beverly Hills market was tough to penetrate and that he should Interior Design & Staging – Kensington & Beverly About Why Kensington Beverly Neil Rain Persad Interior Design & Staging Approach to Marketing Charity Contact Us Interior Design & Staging STAGING There have been few innovations in the luxury staging world of late. The same firms, furniture and style monopolise the market. Having used the top firms for a considerable time, I found myself still being very hands on, changing, and adding my own pieces to create something un-template like and unique. A $30m listing in the bird streets or Beverly Park demand better. As a result, all our staging is done in-house. We use a higher caliber of furniture, customs pieces and original art. Every job has custom pieces ordered to best represent key areas of the home. Our staging and design is synonymous with the property. Our track record speaks for itself; multiple offers, over asking and quick closing. INTERIOR DESIGN The demand for our pieces and art has led to expanding our staging to interior design services. Two completely different engines. One designed to suggest a living style to the broadest audience possible while remaining authentic to the architecture, the other a personal journey through interior living spaces. Our clients have a comprehensive white glove real estate firm at their disposal. We also have several artisan workshops in Mexico where our custom wood and metal pieces are crafted. See the Original Art & Photography page for examples of our original art. Two areas which I feel aren’t readily addressed in even the most appealing aesthetics are ergonomics and technology. With more time spent on devices, and home theater becoming an expected feature in $5m+ homes, design has to incorporate both of these. Viewing angle, head height, sound fields and favorable joint positions are all elements of design that go unrepresented. As a self proclaimed audio and videophile, and the owner of a Sony 4K projection system, these are essential design elements for me. As we can’t always feature the interiors of client’s homes, our gallery shows snapshots and suggestions of colour palettes, themes, and styles co-existing in a variety of living areas. Interior design and staging services are available to all our clients. The consultation is free of charge.

He was born and raised in London with parents of Caribbean descent. His parents emigrated from Trinidad, and found themselves as young adults in a harsh reality of a not so welcoming London in the 1970’s. From very humble beginnings, his Mum was an emergency room nurse, while his Dad worked his way from a nurse to a respected position at the United Nations. By advice of his primary school headmistress, he sat the entrance exam to Emanuel Secondary School, one of the top private schools in England. Receiving a half-scholarship to attend, he found himself surrounded by everyone from the affluent and notable, to royalty. At the end of every day, he would join a small group of outsiders at the train station who went home south of the river Thames, while the others went home to central London mansions and affluent lifestyles. Americans tend to pool all Brits into the same category, but the reality is that this was a clear illustration of the British class system. This contrast and unique ability to exist in both worlds was the unexpected honing of a skillset that would be invaluable in a later real estate career. After graduating, he had a falling out with his parents. Initially he stayed with a very talented and handy uncle who taught him carpentry and remodeling, and an aunt that put 3 meals on the table every day. A short-lived return to his parents ended horribly. Without their support, he related to life more as an artist, with an interest in art, architecture, decor, and music. After exhausting the aide of charitable friends and their families, he eventually found himself homeless at 16, living on the streets of London for an entire year while waiting for help from local assistance programs. His only belongings were two guitars; a Les Paul, and an Epiphone, along with a backpack holding a few clothes. After working odd jobs, including pizza delivery, he was taken in by a Venezuelan and Spanish Taekwondo champion Elias Biescas Rue, who taught him Taekwondo free of charge, and became a big brother and mentor to him. Under this guidance and training, he excelled at Taekwondo, and went on to compete at the national level, often knocking out opponents with Elias’ signature hook kick. In one sparring session, he regrettably broke the skull of the national champion at that time, with the same kick. This surprising education, life experience, training, and discipline would go on to shape his ethics and rules towards life, and ultimately his real estate practise. Slowly rebuilding his life, he worked at a sound production company loading trucks for events, with the promise to be trained as a sound engineer. During this time, he rekindled his relationship with his parents. 5 years had passed since the last time he had seen them. His Dad encouraged him to use his dual citizenship status and make a go of a life in the United States. Something he had wanted to do for himself, but had been unable to. Knowing there was a looming move to Los Angeles, he spent some time travelling and living around Europe, working odd jobs, and experiencing architecture and design around Europe first hand. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, initially staying with welcoming family, and subsequently set out on his own to begin the next chapter. He didn’t know anyone outside of a few family members. Returning to education while working 3 jobs, his first job was loading trucks at a Robinsons May distribution center. Later, while renting a small room in the hood, he taught Taekwondo where one of his students Wayne Chen, won an Olympic medal. Wayne gave one of his medals to him as a sign of appreciation. After graduating university with a bachelor’s in business management, he began a 15-year corporate career working at fortune 100 companies such as Disney, Sony, Goodrich, and eventually ended up in investment banking at Merrill Lynch during its golden years. During that time, he bought his first house and was misrepresented on the purchase. He learned everything a real estate agent shouldn’t be from this experience. Unexpectedly, just after rebuilding their relationship, his Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. Pulling the equity out of his home to pay for his father’s medical bills and to fund a life-saving surgery, his father didn’t survive, and passed away at 52 years old.

Summary history After a $45m, 2-year renovation, the Echo Park Lake reopened in 2013. As neighbouring Silver Lake fully gentrified, and prices headed north, adjacent Echo Park shared similar home profiles and features for a lower price. Retail followed with boutiques and smaller restaurants opening their doors to an eclectic and hipster crowd. Now a bustling community of artists, musicians, and creatives, prices have similar risen and fully gentrified the area. Properties are typically quaint and charming. The history of Los Angeles’ roots is evident with reoccurring Spanish architecture. Remnants of the original development are visible in areas like Angelino Heights which beautifully showcase late 1800’s Victorian structures. With high rental demand, there is a mix of tenants and home owners. In 2016, Neil Rain Persad of Kensington & Beverly sold the modern architectural home of Mayor Eric Garretti for a record price, establishing the very first premiere property sale ever in Echo Park. He reported that the appraiser was unable to properly appraise the property as there were no like-kind structures in the neighbourhood. One of Los Angeles’s first suburbs, the Echo Park neighborhood is a vibrant mix of cultures, incomes, architecture, commercial activity, and social activism that has retained its unique character and charm for more than a century. The neighborhood became the set for many silent film productions made during the 1920s as the movie industry shifted to California. Angelino Heights near Echo Lake is the neighborhood’s most picturesque area. More than 50 Victorian homes grace this historic district, which was established in 1983 as the city’s first Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. One entire block of Angelino Heights, which also includes Craftsman-style bungalows, brownstones, and Streamline Modern architecture, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 2016, Kensington & Beverly sold the architectural home of Mayor Eric Garretti for a record price, establishing the very first premiere property sale ever in the neighbourhood.
