As Los Angeles continues to feel the effects of the down market, Beverly Hills-based residential real estate brokerage Teles Properties maintains its growth with the addition of two top-performing agents with a combined 40 years experience. On the heels of announcing an office expansion into Brentwood, Teles Properties welcomes veteran agents Jennifer Field and Portia Park to its already extraordinary team.

"When Teles launched in November of 2007, our goal was to attract the best luxury market agents in Los Angeles," said Teles Properties President/COO Peter Hernandez. "At the one year mark, we've got close to 40 remarkable agents, and we're adding two more in Jennifer Field and Portia Park. We're thrilled to have them join us as we achieve extraordinary results and expand into new markets."

Jennifer Field, a Los Angeles native, boasts an award-winning real estate career spanning over 20 years. Born and raised in Malibu and a graduate of UCLA, Field knows the Westside's neighborhoods with a native's familiarity, understands the complex contracts and disclosures involved in today's transactions, and negotiates fiercely on her clients' behalf - skills that have earned her the enduring respect of both clients and colleagues.

Portia Park, a consummate professional dedicated to client service, is passionate about making her clients' real estate goals a reality. Her 20 years of experience in the real estate industry is complemented by her background in corporate marketing, advertising and administration. A recipient of the Certified Negotiator distinction, her eye for details and expertise in negotiation benefit each of her clients - skills that she has also applied to her own real estate investments. Combined with a positive attitude and an enduring enthusiasm for real estate, Portia's approach has earned her an impressive list of repeat and referral clients.

Both Field and Park will join Teles' Brentwood office, scheduled to open its doors on November 1 at 11990 San Vicente Blvd. Like the company's flagship Beverly Hills office, the Brentwood location will provide its agents with superior in-house services such as coaching, marketing, business administration, and technology, allowing them to spend more time focusing on the needs of their clients. Additionally, plans are afoot to open its mortgage company, Teles Financial, and an escrow company at the Brentwood location.
