AboutRuben

Ruben Perez

Ruben Perez joined Compass after dedicating several years to selling high-end properties in Los Angeles, New York City and Paris. His global real estate experience has allowed him to build an extensive network of clients from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Over the last 20 years of worldwide real estate sales experience, Ruben has produced over $300 million in transactions.

Originally from Venezuela with Colombian roots, Ruben’s upbringing provided him with a broad and cultured worldview. He is fluent in both French and Spanish, making him a seasoned advocate for the goals and concerns of a vast range of clients. Honesty and discretion are two of Ruben’s values that are fundamental to his approach to real estate. Specializing in hillside residential real estate in the Hollywood Hills, Laurel Canyon and Beverly Crest communities of Los Angeles, Ruben leverages over 17 years of practical experience. This combined with his comprehensive market expertise, negotiation skills, marketing knowledge, and unwavering dedication to his clients has contributed to his sustained, successful career thoughtfully representing luxury real estate buyers and sellers.

While listing and selling properties is commonplace among agents, having vast knowledge and understanding of the Regulations and Design Guidelines of a particularly complicated landscape becomes critical in securing sales. Ruben has the right partners to research, report, and recommend on matters affecting planning and zoning. His insight and experience navigating the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety as well as the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan for properties within the Inner and Outer Corridor gives Ruben an innate ability to achieve even the loftiest of design goals.

We are now the country's largest independent real estate company. Compass built the first modern real estate platform, pairing the industry’s top talent with technology to make the search and sell experience intelligent and seamless.

Compass takes a tech-driven, personalized approach, combining a collaborative agent community, in-house creative agency, and the industry’s most tenured leadership team.

"Ruben was our real estate agent last year when we were searching for a house in Los Angeles. Ruben is very professional and has a warm personality that made us feel very comfortable. Ruben went out of his way to help us find the perfect house. He worked non-stop until he found exactly what we were looking for. Not only did he help us find the house of our dreams, he also aided us through the buying process. Ruben is a wonderful person to have around. He always has a smile and a positive attitude.
