I was feeling stuck at my old brokerage, unmotivated, and ready to give up on my real estate career. I interviewed several brokerages but stopped the moment I met the dynamic people at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Creating a team of enthusiastic, successful agents throughout Southern California does not happen accidentally. The right leadership is essential, and Peter Hernandez is a leader in every way. The coaching calls he leads every morning have become the foundation of my day and have had a huge impact on my life and career. I am no longer insecure about my future. I now feel excited and ready for continued success every day. Peter's coaching and guidance have changed my outlook on this business, and I cannot say thank you enough!

Peter is one of the most impactful and dynamic leaders in real estate. With a deep commitment to consistently being at the leading edge of the industry, Peter brings his creativity, decades of experience and his unique ability to bring the human element into every situation. He doesn’t lead from the top down, but shoulder to shoulder with his agents, executives and leadership staff. Peter is a thought leader, problem solver and master of his craft. Should anyone be fortunate enough to work or collaborate with Peter, they will find that they perform at a higher level and come away from their time with him having become a better version of themselves.

Peter Hernandez is an icon in the California real estate market. From being a top agent in the Los Angeles market, running the Orange County Coldwell Banker division, starting the industry changing brokerage, Teles Properties and now president of the Western Region for Douglas Elliman, Peter is the real deal. He is a mentor to many, one of the best coaches in the business and a friend of the industry. He has and always will go above and beyond for his clients and the agents that have the privilege to learn from him. He is a personal mentor and has played an intricate role in my success as a realtor and Executive Manager of Sales for Douglas Elliman Real Estate. There are not enough words to accurately depict Peter. My advice is get to know him. You’ll thank me later.

Long before Peter Hernandez became President of Douglas Elliman, he was already a legend in the Southern California real estate market. He’s one of the sharpest minds in the business, an inspirational leader, and mentor to a significant number of the most successful agents in the business today. There’s nobody more knowledgeable about the real estate business. Plus, he’s one of the friendliest and most genuine people you can meet.

We love Peter! He has always been the consummate professional. His experience in real estate is second to none. One of the main reasons we work with him is do to his non wavering integrity. The man is a rock when it comes to doing the right thing. We also appreciate his kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and at the same time willingness to speak the truth in love when you need to hear it. Thank you Peter for all you do!

Top notch professional, amazing friend and colleague, great leader, very positive and uplifting attitude and an honor and pleasure to work with. Peter is also a true veteran in real estate and business and a great connector. Can't say enough good words, all around inspiration and great man!

When Douglas Elliman acquired Teles, we got The Babe Ruth of real estate! Peter is a colleague, a mentor and a motivator. I would only want to be on his team. Peter wants his agents to grow and his company to grow. And with growth comes a greater customer experience!

Peter is an incredible leader with a track record of a successful businessman. He's an inspirational human and a mentor to many. So grateful to be learning and growing under his leadership!
