LOS ANGELES – (Business Wire) Teles Properties, Los Angeles’ fastest-growing residential real estate agency, celebrates its one year anniversary with the addition of yet another top-producing agent. As the brokerage bucks the industry trend with an expansion into Brentwood, Teles Properties welcomes agent Carol Whitley to its burgeoning team of seasoned, local market realtors.

“As we reflect on our first year in business, to say that we’re elated with our progress would be an understatement,” said Teles Properties CEO Lou Piatt. “When we launched Teles in November of 2007, we knew we’d face some down market challenges and that the company’s success would ultimately rest on our talent. We’ve had the honor to welcome some amazing agents over the past year, and we’re excited to bring aboard another in Carol Whitley.”

Carol Whitley specializes in single family residences, income properties, and condominiums on the Westside. For more than 20 years, Whitley has successfully identified key differentiating factors and innovating positioning strategies for diverse new product launches on behalf of prominent Fortune 500 corporations such as Nike, Lincoln Mercury, and Hewlett-Packard. She draws from her professional marketing expertise and her own home and investment property experience to carefully guide her clients, helping them to fully understand their options and opportunities in today’s evolving real estate market. Additionally, having worked with clients ranging from first-time home buyers and investors to corporate executives and celebrities, Carol Whitley understands that confidentiality is critical to a smooth, successful buying or selling experience.

Whitley, formerly of Sotheby’s International Realty in Brentwood, will operate out of Teles Properties’ Brentwood office, which officially opened its doors on November 17th at 11990 San Vicente Blvd. Like the company’s flagship Beverly Hills office, the Brentwood location provides 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.
