About The Team

RICHARD WILKINSON:

Lead Agent & CEO

Recognized by The Wall Street Journal and Real Trends Verified as one of the Top Realtors in the nation and named in Los Angeles Magazine’s Real Estate All-Star List: Richard Wilkinson is the Lead Agent of The Richard Wilkinson Group at COMPASS. He is a Los Angeles real estate expert whose drive, perseverance, and powerful negotiation skills give his clients a distinct advantage in the competitive world of Los Angeles real estate. He has conducted hundreds of successful real estate transactions, helping sellers and buyers sell over $500 million volume of real estate in California: from Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles to Quintessential California Bungalows to Family Estates to Multi Investment Properties to Multi-Million Dollar Ocean View Homes and everything in between. Richard is an award-winning real estate agent and an industry “top producer”, which is silly industry jargon that literally means: he helps a lot of people sell and buy real estate every year.

Richard was raised in Louisiana and moved to New York City where he was exposed to urban architecture and formed relationships with successful real estate investors. This exposure coupled with his creative background drew Richard to the real estate profession in Los Angeles. Richard believes that in Los Angeles, real property can function as a home, an investment, and a thing of beauty.

RICHARD WILKINSON

For his seller clients, Richard stands out among Los Angeles realtors with his cutting-edge marketing- he sets the bar and pushes the limits to get the home attention in the marketplace. He prices the home right, innovatively markets the home, and negotiates the transaction with his clients’ best interest at heart to a successfully closed sale. For his buyer clients, Richard enjoys the quest to find the perfect property, thrives within the negotiation of a transaction, and is thrilled to hand his clients the keys to their new home. His greatest success in real estate has been that, in many cases, his clients have become lifelong friends. Richard is honored to be a resource for his client’s real estate needs and considers himself a Real Estate Concierge who is always available to answer any real estate questions: home values, recent sales, market trends, investing, or to give referrals for contractors, landscapers, insurance providers, and more.

Richard and his team at The Richard Wilkinson Group are trusted experts and are always happy to help with all of their clients’ real estate needs.
