Real Estate. Reimagined.

Why Teles?
When we first opened our doors in November 2007, the mortgage crisis was just beginning to unfold and signs of a downturn in real estate were everywhere. The most common question we received was, "Why would anyone open a real estate company right now?" Why? We knew the timing was absolutely perfect. We anticipated big changes in the real estate industry. We felt that big companies had become too big and impersonal. We believed it was time for a high-end boutique unlike any other. We would attack the status quo on all fronts, using our experience and energy to make our goals a reality. We knew unrivaled support for our agents would enable them to provide clients with an extraordinary level of service and professionalism. We knew that technology would give us a tremendous advantage. Why Teles? Because we are creating a whole new dimension in luxury real estate that is destined to lead the industry well into the future.

Challenging The Status Quo.
Every minute of every day. We think. We create. We commit. We execute. We are passionate about redefining the real estate experience for our clientele. Not just "change for change's sake," but genuine advancement, with actual improvement and measurable results. Teles doesn't follow trends, it sets them. We are leading the entire industry by challenging the status quo every step of the way-and improving the overall real estate experience as we go.

Purpose. Passion. Plan.
Teles Properties was formed to create a dynamic partnership between client, agent and company - a partnership with purpose unlike any other. By developing an interactive relationship between the agent and company, we raise the experience for our clients to a whole new level of unparalleled service. That is our passion.

Peter Loewy
Chairman, CEO, International Attorney

"With our diverse executive team, combined with the unsurpassed talent of our agents, Teles Properties is taking luxury real estate beyond the 21st Century," states Loewy. "I personally have been on all sides of real estate transactions - as an investor, as an advisor and general counsel, as a syndicator and developer. In expanding Teles Properties, I have looked to my roots in the Silicon Valley and have taken inspiration from such progressive companies as Apple, Facebook and Google. We always ask ourselves what hasn't been tried? Why hasn't it been tried? Could it make the experience better? We continue to expand into every aspect of real estate, including research, analytics, marketing, escrow and finance. In doing so, our clients benefit from the ease of one-stop-shopping. Teles continues to grow and prosper, and we will continue to be an industry leader for generations to come."

Peter Hernandez
President and Broker of Record, Real Estate Industry Leader

"I wake up every day and look forward to challenging the status quo of real estate brokerage," notes Hernandez, who has more than 41 years of experience in the industry. "I search for and create new ways to improve the experience, to shake it up, to refine our practices in such a way that our clients and agents know they are receiving superior service. Real estate is a person's largest investment, and we work to protect that investment. Teles Properties utilizes unrivaled technology and adds a human overlay to redefine the industry; we give our agents all of the tools necessary so they can devote maximum time to clientele; we offer leadership, marketing and services to Teles agents at a time when other companies are scaling back. In short, I view luxury real estate as an art and ensure that every medium is available at Teles."
