A new kind of brokerage.

Imagine a new approach to addressing the housing crisis in Los Angeles—one that doesn’t depend on legislation, taxes or executive action.

At Collective Locals, we are taking meaningful steps to tackle this issue by dedicating a portion of our earned commissions to the purchase, development, rehabilitation and management of properties for affordable housing. Through this initiative, we aim to contribute directly to the solution and make a lasting impact on the community.

Commit to becoming part of the solution.

In today’s real estate landscape, there are an overwhelming number of brokerages, brokers, teams and agents to choose from, many of whom are focused primarily on maximizing commissions, increasing transaction volume, and competing with one another, often at the expense of relationships. Meanwhile, numerous articles, opinion pieces and discussions highlight the growing challenges of affordable housing and homelessness in Los Angeles. It’s time to find a way to align individual success with the greater good.
Collective Locals is a new approach to real estate that brings together buyers, sellers, brokers and agents to actively contribute, even in small ways, to addressing these pressing issues. We believe that through collaboration and a shared commitment to helping others, we can make a meaningful impact on our communities and create homes for those in need.
By working with Collective Locals, you not only receive exceptional representation from a local expert in your real estate market, but you also support the development and maintenance of affordable housing, homelessness prevention programs and other community-focused initiatives throughout Los Angeles. A portion of the commissions earned by our agents are reinvested into projects that contribute to long-term solutions—improving housing, supporting families and strengthening neighborhoods.
As these efforts take root, they help elevate the community, enhance property values and improve the overall well-being of residents. Together, we can break the cycle of frustration and inaction and create lasting change in Los Angeles.
Join us in making a tangible difference. Let’s move beyond complaints and take real steps toward a better future.
“Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
— Mark Twain
