Luke Smith, SRES®, and Shaun Finn are one of Los Angeles’s most accomplished REALTORS®, co-founder's of HomeBridge for Seniors and Rise Property Management, and a key member of the Rise Real Estate team — ranked #1 in sales volume and #2 in transactions in Los Angeles County by Real Trends 2025. Licensed since 2015, Luke and Shaun have built a reputation for delivering exceptional results in luxury real estate, senior transitions, and relocation services. Serving high-demand markets such as San Fernando Valley, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, and Studio City to name a few, they blend deep local knowledge with innovative marketing strategies to help clients achieve their goals.

Now that your home didn't sell, you've had a wave of agents promising you "they can get the deal done."

At this point, you're frustrated, disappointed and likely pretty annoyed because your phone hasn't stopped ringing since it came off the market. 


If a home doesn't sell, it's for three reasons: 

 1. It was priced incorrectly

 2. It didn't get enough exposure

 3. It wasn't presented properly


Now, if you believe the reason your home didn't sell is because of #1...You don't need another agent, you just need to lower the price. 

But if you believe the reason the home didn't sell is because of #2 and #3, this is where we can help. 

To sell for top dollar, there are 10 essential marketing tactics. 

I've reviewed your home on the Multiple Listing Service and you're missing 6 of them. 

I'm confident that if we fix them, you could sell your home for your price or more. 

Even if you're not planning on re-listing your home, I'd love the opportunity to share with you my insight on what to do to ensure that you don't experience this again. 


With more than $200 million in career sales, an average transaction price of $1.1 million, and recognition as a Top Producer for eight consecutive years (2018–2025), Luke and Shaun have consistently ranked among the highest-producing agents in his brokerage and region. They also are recipient's of the 2019 Excellence Award. Sellers benefit from specialized programs like Fix & List and “Make Your Listing Famous.” 

Luke and Shaun make a commitment to client success and backed by 40 five-star Zillow reviews, 15 Realtor.com reviews, and updated, verifiable transaction histories on major platforms. Whether guiding first-time buyers, helping seniors downsize, or marketing multi-million-dollar estates, Luke and Shaun deliver expertise, integrity, and results that make them the go-to choice for clients seeking the best REALTOR® in Los Angeles


Let’s connect and make your real estate goals a reality.
