Gil Spiegel was born into the real estate business, a third
generation family business. His family developed one of the
first industrial parks in the United States. At the age of 12,
Gil told the local neighborhood farmer that when the
farmer was ready to sell, he would buy the property and
build houses. Fifteen years later, at the age of 27, he did just
that. Today, that property is an established neighborhood
in the suburbs of Philadelphia. After building homes, a
shopping center and the first luxury condominium in the
Philadelphia suburbs, he and his wife Marilyn moved to
sunny California in 1993. Gil's real estate background is allencompassing;he is a real estate attorney who has owned
and operated commercial and residential mortgage
businesses, he possesses title experience, and he has
developed and managed both commercial and residential
properties. Gil's areas of expertise range from
condominiums to multi-million dollar estates. He also
specializes in commercial, income-producing properties.
From first time homebuyers to the most sophisticated
complex commercial transactions, Gil always makes sure
his clients achieve their goals. He has consistently proven
his ability to market properties, no matter what trends
prevail. Gil's steady, calm persona combined with his
knowledge and great people skills is the key to his
consistent success.
