Exceptional service is a value Gwen Banta learned early in her business career as CEO of an executive speakers' bureau. When a client gave a seminar on property acquisition, her love of architecture sparked a transition to an exciting career in real estate. Now, almost 17 years later, Gwen is a Hollywood Hills Real Estate Specialist and takes great pride in having earned the coveted designation of Sotheby’s International Realty Global Real Estate Advisor.

A consistent top producer at the company's renowned Sunset Strip office, Gwen has received numerous awards for outstanding performance including Top Producer, Executive Club, 100% Club Award, Trulia Top Agent and LA Top Rated Agent. She counts many musical and film performers among her client roster, which has resulted in her becoming a canyon specialist in the city she so loves.
Gwen is a skilled negotiator with a global outreach in marketing. One aspect of her thriving business is her network for Asia - East-West Property Specialists - which offers real estate services that include property purchase, helicopter service, interpreters, limousine service and relocation assistance. Dubbed 'L.A.'s Sherlock of Homes' by her loyal clients, Gwen is known for her intelligence, ethics, and wild sense of humor. She is often seen on such television shows as Flip That House, Million Dollar Rooms, Extreme Homes and Behind the Gates.
