"Aaron Kirman's experience and reputation will be invaluable as we establish our new international division," said John Aaroe, founder and president. "Together, we can build significant alliances that will establish our company internationally as a leader in the southern California luxury market. Los Angeles is a powerful draw for overseas clients seeking a stable economy, wonderful business and educational opportunities for their families, and the unparalleled lifestyle that has long made California famous."
Mr. Kirman, a southern California native and architecture aficionado, joins John Aaroe Group from Hilton & Hyland, where he served as chairman of the Architectural Estates Division. Mr. Kirman is renowned for his representation of some of the country's most significant properties, including architectural residences by Koenig, Shindler, Lautner, and the only Neimeyer in North America.
During his career, Mr. Kirman has sold more than $1 billion of residential real estate to a group of select clients including A-List celebrities, heads of industry, foreign investors and royalty. While he specializes in exclusive properties from Beverly Hills to Malibu, he has represented buyers and sellers worldwide. Mr. Kirman has become internationally known for representing unique southern California estates and architectural properties such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House, Richard Neutra's Kaufmann Residence, and Frank Gehry's Schnabel House.
"Los Angeles is a global and cosmopolitan city, especially with the rise of wealth and investment from around the world," Mr. Kirman said. "And it's a very appealing market—compared to world cities such as Moscow, Tokyo or London, buyers can acquire exceptional grounds and square footage here. We're also seeing younger international buyers. For our business, it's about the partnerships we form, the alliances and the relationships, along with the knowledge that we bring to our clients."
The new division is currently marketing nearly half a billion dollars' worth of high-end properties in Los Angeles, New York and abroad. Listings include the exciting La Villa Contenta, a premier property on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. With its 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, guest house, infinity pool, theatre and other amenities located on more than six acres, La Villa Contenta is priced at $54 million.
Mr. Aaroe brings more than 30 years' expertise to the market from his early days with the Jon Douglas Company and later at his first record-breaking firm, John Aaroe and Associates, which was acquired by Prudential California Realty in 2000. Mr. Aaroe played a key role in Prudential California's expansion, and the territories he managed reached $17 billion in sales. In 2009, Mr. Aaroe opened John Aaroe Group, which is positioned to become the preeminent luxury firm in key Southern California markets.
"Aaron brings great energy and expertise to a market segment that demands the utmost finesse," Mr. Aaroe said. "Having worked in the high-end real estate market for more than 30 years, I have never been more excited about the direction in which our company is headed."
