Douglas Elliman Real Estate has announced that top-producing agent Tim Durkovic and his team, the Durkovic Group, have joined Douglas Elliman’s California brokerage in its Pasadena office.
“Bringing extensive knowledge and experience of the Pasadena market, Tim and the Durkovic Group lead an innovative way of doing business, which sets them apart from their competitors,” said Jon Butler, broker of record at Douglas Elliman, California.
As an expert in luxury estates, Durkovic “provides personal service and powerful advocacy through every step of a transaction,” the company said. “His background in the arts helps inform his unique marketing approach, capturing the essence of a home to set it apart from others in a modern, editorial-style with stunning photography and video. The Durkovic Group also has an exclusive affiliation with a celebrity photographer and designer, Mark Liddell, of Mark Liddell Design. Together, they work closely to help give advice, stage and prepare client homes for sale in order to maximize returns.”
“Driven by his passion for real estate, people and the arts, Tim Durkovic’s elegance, combined with an unmatched commitment to service, has been the key to his success,” said Stephen Kotler, CEO of Douglas Elliman’s Western Region. “Here at Elliman, we have a strong commitment in supporting the arts. The Durkovic Group’s philosophy of art and business mirrors this commitment. We welcome Tim and the Durkovic group with open arms, and look forward to expanding our footprint in the eastside market, one masterpiece at a time.”
Born and raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Durkovic moved to the United States when he was 18 and is fluent in both Spanish and English. He has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in piano performance, having studied at the Juilliard School and USC. He has lived and worked not only in the Arcadia/Pasadena area for more than 15 years, but also in Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills, providing him with first-hand knowledge of the real estate market from Bradbury to Beverly Hills. With his international background, his clients hail from all over the world, including Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
“Elliman’s incomparable system of referrals, both nationally and globally, coupled with the strength of the marketing, PR and technology offered was an important decision-making factor for us to join and form a team,” Durkovic said. “The leadership of Stephen Kotler and Peter Hernandez was the ultimate decider, and I am thrilled to begin the new year with Douglas Elliman.”
