Meet Manuel: Your Trusted Guide to Los Angeles Real Estate
Manuel sees real estate from a different perspective — yours.
Born in Peru and raised in Pasadena, Manuel has called Los Angeles home since childhood, and he understands the city’s neighborhoods, lifestyles, and rhythms the way only a true Angeleno can.

Backed by Compass’ industry-leading technology and marketing platform, Manuel delivers exceptional results with a personal touch that clients never forget.
Clients describe Manuel as thoughtful, strategic, and relentlessly dedicated. He doesn’t treat a real estate deal as a mere transaction; he treats it as a long-term relationship.

Above all, Manuel believes the real estate experience should feel empowering. With his guidance, the process becomes not only successful but surprisingly fun.
Outside of real estate, Manuel is passionate about travel, tennis, figure skating, and all things pop culture, from movie nights to the occasional Real Housewives marathon. He’s active in the LGBTQ+ community and local pickleball and dodgeball leagues, and he loves building relationships with clients that extend far beyond closing day.
