David Altemus

After graduating and obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Finance and Real Estate from The University of Southern California, David Altemus, a second generation commercial real estate broker, joined his father, Jules B. Altemus, at The Altemus Company in June of 1968. Jules founded The Altemus Company in 1946 and throughout his 25 years in the business focused primarily on commercial property leasing/sales as well as commercial property subdivision and development, mainly in and around the Westside of Los Angeles. David’s first job at the company was hanging “Available” signs on commercial buildings. During the late 60’s and early 70’s, David worked alongside his father assisting in the leasing and sales of Westside and South Bay commercial and industrial properties. In September of 1971, Jules passed away and David continued running the brokerage company. In August of 1972, David teamed up with Barry Warner and the company name was changed to Altemus, Warner and Company. This partnership lasted until June of 2001, at which time, Barry retired and the company name once again reverted to The Altemus Company. Through his nearly 45 year tenure in the business, David has been involved in thousands of leasing and sale transactions of industrial, office and retail properties, mainly in and around the Westside of Los Angeles.
On a personal note, David is an avid car enthusiast with a special affinity for classic Porsches. He is currently the President of the West Coast Region of the Porsche Club of America. David is married to Jan and has four children and eight grandchildren.
