Maximilian
Favela
I act, advise, collaborate and work in the interests of people and organizations at the intersection of real estate, design, ideas and philanthropy in the Los Angeles area.
Dossier
Maximilian is a native of the Westside of Los Angeles, born and raised in the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades and Brentwood.
Bringing a host of characteristics into play from charisma and enthusiasm to a relentless motor and a passion for helping others. Approachable, genuine and straight-forward, he provides a quality environment for two-way dialogue and constructivism.
A byproduct of an environment of diversity, his upbringing and actions attracted him to an array of different cultures, languages, foods, ideas, traditions and observance of the socio-economic contrasts that have only been further intensified since his childhood. This curiosity extends well beyond current events and into history, economics, psychology, science and technology; to say it in totality he has a natural curiosity as to the ways, means and constructs of our society.
Early exposure to the real estate industry came in his teens, as a way to keep him out of trouble, working part-time for a local top producer with tasks including people-forward interactions, marketing mailers, websites and witnessing the actions of a consistent producer. Further understanding and experience was garnered through his time under the Nourmand & Associates brand, ending in 2011. Beginning his real estate brokerage relationship with Bulldog Realtors of Venice in 2012.
Maximilian creates value by treating every client as an extension of himself, strict in adherence to his fiduciary duties, competent in his information gathering and thorough in the due diligence processes to ensure that each client is more than sufficiently informed, he calls this “advocacy”. Adding ideas and approaches for renovation, configuration and expansion, along with a flair (or stubborn opinion) for aesthetics and design in a form he refers to as “mediumism”, a little more than minimalism.
A lifelong presence in Los Angeles has created a deep understanding and base of reference for the micro-markets, infrastructure, composition and history of large swaths of the City, as an active observer for more than twenty years of civic evolution. Prideful of navigating clients through and away from risk and complication, Maximilian has honed an ability to assess situations and translate this information to his clients with positive outcomes, such as avoiding troubled properties and seeing the explosive potential of undervalued micro-markets and in some areas finding specific undervalued blocks.
A competitor by nature, Maximilian immerses himself in a number of sports and disciplines, while maintaining a rigorous fitness regime. Enjoying the outdoors, travel, philosophy, live performance expression and most importantly, chocolate chip cookies when allowed.
