Local roots.
A broader perspective.
A lifetime in Southern California, 27 years in real estate and a background in financial portfolio management shape the way I help clients make their next property decision.
Experience with the whole picture in mind.
I'm Vincent Serhan, a real estate professional with Vista Sotheby's International Realty. I work with buyers, sellers and investors throughout Long Beach, the South Bay and the greater Los Angeles coastal market. My practice includes luxury and coastal residences, income properties, inherited homes, trust and probate sales, and the decisions that come with downsizing or leaving a longtime family home.
My 27 years in real estate build on 20 years managing financial portfolios, along with experience in investment analysis and financial services. That experience helps me look beyond a property's asking price to the goals, timing and practical considerations behind a transaction.
I earned my undergraduate degree in finance at California State University, Long Beach, and an Executive MBA from California State University, Monterey Bay. I bring that education to my work through careful preparation, thoughtful analysis and a clear explanation of the choices in front of you.
Rooted in these communities.
As a Long Beach native, my connection to the area began long before my real estate career. My father moved to Long Beach in 1961 and built a local retail business; my mother was a teacher. Their example shaped my appreciation for personal service, education and lasting relationships.
I raised my children in Palos Verdes and now live in Redondo Beach. Those connections give me a personal understanding of the neighborhoods and transitions that bring families to—and keep them in—our coastal communities.
Personal involvement, from the beginning.
I begin with a conversation about your goals, the property's condition and the people involved. From there, we develop a practical plan for preparation, marketing and communication.
My approach is hands-on. I coordinate agreed work, stay involved in the details and help keep the real estate process understandable. When a private, personally hosted showing plan is appropriate, we can arrange for me to attend by agreement.
