"WHEN THE PIOUS SPANIARDS FIRST SAW THE FERTILE PLAINS AND VALLEYS OF LOS ANGELES THEY FOUND ITS BEAUTY WORTHY OF THE DESCRIPTIVE TITLE, 'LA PUEBLA DE NUESTRA SENORA LA REINA DE LOS ANGELES.'
TODAY, THE CITY HAS DESCENDED RATHER LOWER IN THE CELESTIAL SCALE AND ITS NAME NOW POPULARLY ASSOCIATED WITH 'STARS' RATHER THAN ANGELS.
IT IS ALL EXTRAORDINARILY, EXOTICALLY BEAUTIFUL, AND SLIGHTLY UNREAL."
-E.O. HOPPE, Romantic America 1927
Why buy a new home?
BUY AN OLD HOME FROM THE FUTURE!
Form follows function in a Retrofuture home; a haven of symmetry and order in an entropic Los Angeles.
Prolific philosopher and esteemed architect Richard Neutra described his line of work as a testament to Biorealism; that the connection between man, architecture and nature is inseparable. Architecture itself is essential to our survival, and as a "sensorium", enhances all of our senses for well-being.
the future seen from the eyes of the past
Our Mission
Your home is the greatest extension of who you are.
Retrofuture Real Estate connects buyers with their most self-reflective home and sellers with their most favorable terms.
Defined by our core values, we extend beyond our reach in client relationships and commitment, garnering market share through bespoke luxury hospitality standards of service, preservation conscientiousness, design-centered marketing/ branding as well as technological adeptness.
As a service's worth is inherently bound to its ethics and values of those who produce it, our highly specialized team is driven by providing the highest level of client engagement while establishing gold standards in client priority, loyalty, integrity and discretion, never deviating from form.
As a value-added real estate group, we offset market conditions and venture beyond traditional practices to acquire properties for buyer clients off-market and provide specialized strategy and execution to find and secure the buyer for your home willing to compete and pay more, close faster and take on the stewardship of legacy you left with your home. We regularly consult and arrange for special staging, sourcing antique, high-end furnishings and unique accoutrements to highlight your home's lovely bones and enhance its expressive spirit.
The historic and architectural homes we represent reflect our reverence of authenticity, craftsmanship, integrity and eternal style, evident in our attention to detail and personal touch in communications, client-industry relations and marketing campaigns. From developing copy to branding your home or distinguished presentation and delivery, we will represent you and/ or your home in the highest regard to set a higher standard for conventional real estate transactions.

Why we curate
Retrofuture Group expertly presents homes of distinction, character and authenticity that serve as a testament to who we once were, and where we're going with our collectively defined values grounded in architecture. Certain homes harness the power to give meaning and memories of particular eras, holding aesthetic and cultural value we can enhance and effectively market.
By specialization, we can exert some control over factors normally dictated by market conditions through justifying a premium, better timing a market debut or keeping a listing pocketed to ensure only the right buyers are vetted and introduced to your home.
We value our clients' privacy and oversee careful measures to greatly ensure that anonymity of person and finances remains intact from search well beyond closing. Through our specialized knowledge in architecturally unique and historical homes, we can provide the best possible experience of service and streamline the transactional process.
conscious preservation, HERITAGE PROMOTION AND STEWARDSHIP OF LEGACY
We are actively engaged in conserving, enriching the spirit of community and legacy of neighborhood-contributing historical and architectural homes.
We pride ourselves through involvement of personal and greater local preservation issues as we regularly promote and provide educational assistance with HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlay Zone) neighborhood home rehabilitation, contributing to the local culture.
Our extensive knowledge and transactional experience with tax relief incentives through Historical Property Contracts (Mills Act), Conservation Easements, and CHBCs (California Historic Building Codes) allow for cost flexibility in deals as well as restoration processes, providing alternative options to work around standard building codes.
We believe in long-term community development and revitalization and through enhancing the value of your home, while we partner with you in contributing to the legacy of your neighborhood.
Fully-integrated, design-centric approach
Our brand is much more than identity; it's tied into the rituals and structure of our agents' everyday lives.
We aim to attract and market to a specific, qualitative value-conscious buyer who places aesthetic significance on a home.
We consult on authentic and visceral presentation in which presentable worth translates to commanding higher closing price, priming your home for a well-timed market debut.
bespoke service
As each transaction is as unique and nuanced as fingerprints, we are invested in your well-being throughout the entire process from the home search, securing a loan and throughout the escrow period.
Representing you as a seller, we'll meticulously consider your home's valuation to capitalize on the strongest marketplace position to secure a buyer offering the highest price, in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of problems.
In assisting buyers, we demystify and simplify the home buying process and its potential complications, developing you into a more informed, discerning and confident buyer through trust and transparency.
We provide clear channels of communication and access for all of your needs and concerns. We'll constantly update you on any changes, while uncover any points of creative deal structuring, for possible credits and reductions in negotiating your best price.
We will walk with you and guide you in navigating every step of your transaction, offering our experience and diverse backgrounds in advising through your unique sets of problems and circumstances.
razor edge of technology
We utilize the most up-to-date and fastest tools to generate the most accurate, recent transactional data necessary to properly profile a broad, dynamic snapshot of the market and where your home intimately stands in its submarket.
We account for quantitative data in market conditions to develop strong and competitive pricing strategy for sellers and negotiation/ offer strategy for buyers.
Collaboration, communication and co-creation
Relationship-based ethos
We intend to create a positive social impact through creating and reinforcing a sense of community among our direct associates, greater peers and our extensive network of contacts. We look upon members of our industry not as competition, but as colleagues whom we built and leverage better relationships with. We foster partnerships and continue to develop a strong network of affiliates on behalf of our clients.
Because as technology exponentially advances and algorithms can more efficiently price your home, crunch critical market statistics and compete for an agent's representative role, the need to become more relationship conscious and service driven becomes all but indispensable.
“The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.”
