Felipe Crook is a broker-salesman who has been licensed since 2003. He originally moved to Las Vegas as one of the original cast At 24, I moved to Las Vegas to open the original cast of Mamma Mia! The Musical at the Mandalay Bay. Performing for over a million people was an incredible experience, but it was a bad real estate deal that changed the trajectory of my career forever.
After reading Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I decided to buy my first investment property. The agent I worked with gave me terrible advice, pressured me into a bad purchase, and disappeared after closing. I felt taken advantage of, and I vowed that no client of mine would ever feel that way.
I got my real estate license in 2003 and built my business on one principle: I treat my clients' money like it's my own. I tell them the pros and the cons. Sometimes I lose a sale because of my honesty, but I'd rather be honest than have someone feel the way I felt.
Who I Am Today
I'm Felipe Crook, a real estate advisor with eXp Realty of Greater Los Angeles. I've been licensed since 2003 and have closed over 415 transactions across multiple market cycles—booms, recessions, a global pandemic, and everything in between.
I specialize in Northeast Los Angeles—Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Atwater Village, Glassell Park, Mount Washington, and Cypress Park. These neighborhoods are where I work, explore, and know block by block. My typical price range is $1M–$3M, and I serve both buyers and sellers with the same level of commitment.
I hold Certified Divorce Specialist and E-Pro certifications and specialize in first-time buyers, luxury homes, relocations, and investment properties.
The Unlock LA Difference
Unlock LA was built on a simple idea: the best opportunities in Los Angeles real estate aren't always listed on the open market. My two-sided model connects buyers with off-market properties and sellers with a pre-qualified buyer pool—giving both sides an advantage before a listing ever hits the MLS.
For buyers, that means early access to properties other agents don't know about. For sellers, it means exposure to serious, vetted buyers who are ready to move quickly. It's a smarter way to buy and sell in one of the most competitive markets in the country.
What Drives Me
Real estate is the single biggest financial decision most people will ever make. I don't take that lightly. My business is built entirely on referrals, which means every client interaction matters. I listen to what my clients need, I do my homework, and I fight for the best outcome—whether that's negotiating $30,000 in seller concessions or walking away from a deal that doesn't make sense.
I'm not the agent who tells you what you want to hear. I'm the agent who tells you what you need to know.
