Meet Jake Sullivan

CA DRE# 01970185

Jake Sullivan is a San Pedro Realtor® specializing in the San Pedro, Palos Verdes, and South Bay real estate markets. A lifelong South Bay resident, Jake has spent more than 30 years living in the community and brings deep local knowledge to every client he serves.

Before becoming a real estate agent, Jake worked in escrow in Torrance where he helped process more than 1,500 real estate transactions. That experience gave him a unique behind-the-scenes understanding of contracts, negotiations, title issues, and the complexities that buyers and sellers can face during a real estate transaction.

Today, Jake helps clients successfully buy and sell homes throughout San Pedro, Palos Verdes, and the surrounding Beach Cities, combining strategic marketing, strong negotiation, and a deep understanding of the local market. His business is built largely on referrals from past clients — a reflection of the relationships and trust he strives to build with every family he works with.
