Why Choosing a Local Beverly Hills Realtor in Beverly Hills Isn’t Just Smart, It’s Essential

Marty Halfon April 7, 2025

In a city like Beverly Hills, where history, prestige, and property values evolve block by block, choosing the right realtor makes all the difference. You owe it to yourself to work with a Beverly Hills Realtor who isn't just selling homes but who's lived, invested, and built a life there for over six decades.

Marty Halfon has called Beverly Hills home since 1962, giving him an insider's perspective that few other real estate professionals can match. As both a resident and investor, he has personally owned multiple homes and apartment buildings throughout Beverly Hills and surrounding areas, providing clients with expert insights into both residential and luxury investment markets.

Deep Local Connections That Can't Be Learned

Marty's Beverly Hills story goes beyond professional experience—it's deeply personal. He even purchased his childhood home on the 300 block of Bedford Dr from his parents, the same home he later moved his own family into, bringing his story full circle. This depth of experience can't be Googled, taught, or faked. It's earned over decades by being part of the community, walking the streets, knowing the neighbors, understanding the market, and navigating the nuances that only a true insider would know.

As a graduate of El Rodeo Elementary School and Beverly Hills High School, Marty's roots in the community run deep. His commitment to Beverly Hills continued when he ran for Beverly Hills City Council in 1992, and he further established his local presence by owning a well-known restaurant just off Rodeo Drive on Little Santa Monica Boulevard.

Today, Marty remains actively involved in the community as a member of Team Beverly Hills, a proud supporter of the Friends of Greystone Mansion and the Robinson Estate, and a dedicated supporter of the Beverly Hills Education Foundation (BHEF).

Extensive Real Estate Portfolio and Experience

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the Beverly Hills real estate market, Marty Halfon brings unparalleled expertise to every transaction. His personal portfolio of properties owned, renovated, and sold throughout Beverly Hills includes:

  • 308 So. Bedford Drive: 4BD 4.5BA Home
  • 155 So. Elm Drive #102: 2BD 2BA Condo

This extensive portfolio demonstrates Marty's comprehensive understanding of various property types and neighborhoods within Beverly Hills, from luxury single-family homes to multi-unit investment properties.

Unmatched Beverly Hills Neighborhood Knowledge

From the prestigious Flats to Trousdale Estates, from the Golden Triangle to the hills north of Sunset Boulevard, Marty knows the unique character, history, and property values of each Beverly Hills neighborhood. His personal experience living and investing in these areas gives clients a significant advantage when making important real estate decisions.

Marty can provide insights that only come from decades of residency: which streets have the best walkability, which school districts are most coveted, and which areas have historically shown the strongest appreciation. This depth of knowledge extends to Beverly Hills P.O. areas including Benedict Canyon and Coldwater Canyon, where he has owned and sold multiple properties.

What Clients Say About Working with Marty

"Marty sold my parents and myself a house in Beverly Hills, and it was one of the easiest transactions we have ever had. He handled all the details completely, never letting anything slip through the cracks, and we have now owned this house for 15 years and will always use Marty for all our real estate needs! He is just a great guy, trustworthy and very professional." - Texas E.

"Marty really came in and saved the day with our father's home in Beverly Hills. I have known Marty since we were kids and I knew he was the right person to go to for reshaping the approach to the sale and sure enough after we made the changes that were in our budget to accomplish the hold sold quickly with a short escrow. Marty puts all of himself into the task. He knows his stuff and is my go to on all real estate matters." - Valerie L.

"I had the pleasure of working with Marty Halfon recently and was very impressed of how he took great care of his clients and his attention to detail.
