Over two decades and more than a billion dollars in sales later, he continues to set the standard for excellence in the field, combining market expertise with an unwavering commitment to putting clients first.
Max’s achievements have been featured in The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fast Company, and CNBC, and he starred in a six-episode television series showcasing the high-stakes world of luxury real estate. Known for his discretion, diligence, and deep market knowledge, Max is a sought-after agent for clients seeking top-tier representation.
Beyond real estate, Max is fueled by a lifelong passion for food and wine. He is the founder and chef of Oxalis, an intimate fine dining experience where guests enjoy 16-course tasting menus paired with expertly curated beverages. With Oxalis, Max has created a welcoming, unpretentious space that brings people together over exceptional cuisine and meaningful connections.
