Teles Properties Welcomes Maureen & Mimi McCormick

Joining Teles Properties’ expert sales force in the Brentwood office are the mother and daughter team Maureen and Mimi McCormick.

The McCormick name represents one of the most skilled and respected real estate partnerships that have dominated L.A.’s Westside for three decades. Maureen McCormick and her late husband John built a wide following in Brentwood, Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica and consistently ranked as multimillion-dollar producers.

Maureen is now working with her daughter Mimi McCormick, who brings her own expert knowledge and insider perspective. Born and raised in Santa Monica, Mimi grew up in the real estate business. After graduating from UC Berkeley, she embarked on a career in the nonprofit sector, working for UCLA, the Getty Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, where she was director of operations.

As partners, the McCormicks deliver an incomparable level of professional service. Clients benefit from Maureen’s vast network, discretion, unique negotiating skills and multimedia marketing savvy as well as Mimi’s valuable contacts, arts and architecture background and executive business skills. “Marketing and selling a home today requires an unprecedented degree of flexibility—and a sense of humor,” says Maureen. Adds Mimi: “And agents have to stay on top of a huge array of crucial details that seem to change by the moment.”

Both women are as committed to their community as they are to their clients. Maureen lends her support to UCLA’s Neuro-Oncology Art of the Brain and Para Los Niños. Mimi has been involved in L.A.’s Grand Avenue revitalization and served as an advisor to the UCLA Anderson School of Management and LA><ART, among others.

The McCormicks understand the importance of hand’s-on service tailored for each client.  “Some of my mother’s most valuable skills are also the most subtle ones,” says Mimi. “She’s so finely attuned to people. She radiates a calming influence that draws all the parties together and inspires confidence. Her civility influences her approach to clients and colleagues. When someone is relying on you to help with such a major emotional and financial investment, that’s a very solid place to start.”

The McCormicks are just as acutely aware that real estate transactions now require a savvy marketing campaign.  “I’ve watched the Westside become an international destination,” says Maureen. “Generating global exposure for our properties is now a top priority, and highly sophisticated online marketing is a key part of our mix.”
