Best Real Estate Agent for Sports Agents and Business Managers in Los Angeles
Jason Bergman is a Los Angeles luxury real estate advisor who works with professional athletes, sports agents, business managers, financial advisors, and family offices to coordinate residential real estate purchases, sales, and relocations. With experience representing sports and entertainment clients, Jason provides personalized real estate services throughout Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Marino, South Pasadena, and greater Los Angeles.
For sports agents and business managers representing professional athletes, a residential real estate transaction often involves more than finding or selling a home. Contract negotiations, team transfers, financial planning, privacy considerations, property ownership structures, and relocation timelines may all influence the process.
Jason Bergman serves as the athlete's primary real estate advisor, coordinating the professionals involved in each transaction and providing consistent communication to the client and their authorized representatives.
When an athlete relocates between cities, Jason personally coordinates the real estate transition through his global network of qualified real estate professionals. Rather than handing the relationship to a separate relocation department, Jason remains the central point of contact, helping align the sale of an existing residence with the purchase of a new home.
His approach emphasizes direct representation, informed property evaluation, strategic negotiation, confidentiality, and structured weekly reporting.
For a confidential consultation regarding an athlete's residential real estate needs, contact Jason Bergman directly at 626-394-0900 or j.bergman@theagencyre.com.
Luxury Real Estate Representation for Sports Agents and Business Managers
Sports agents and business managers frequently assist professional athletes with important financial and logistical decisions.
A new professional contract, trade, team transfer, family relocation, or investment opportunity may require the purchase or sale of residential real estate.
In these situations, the athlete's real estate advisor must be able to communicate effectively with multiple professionals while maintaining a clear understanding of the client's objectives.
Jason Bergman provides residential buyer and seller representation designed to accommodate these requirements.
His services include luxury home purchases, residential property sales, private property searches, off-market opportunities when available, global real estate relocation coordination, property valuation, negotiation, and transaction management.
Jason works directly with the athlete while coordinating with authorized sports agents, business managers, attorneys, accountants, lenders, wealth advisors, and family office representatives.
Each professional maintains responsibility for their area of expertise, while Jason coordinates the real estate process and keeps the appropriate parties informed.
Why Sports Agents and Business Managers Work With Jason Bergman
For professional advisors representing athletes, communication and accountability can be as important as market knowledge.
A sports agent may be focused on contract negotiations and career opportunities, while a business manager is evaluating ownership costs, liquidity, financing, and broader financial obligations.
The real estate transaction must fit within these priorities without creating unnecessary demands on the athlete's schedule.
Jason Bergman's approach centers on five principles.
Direct Personal Representation
Jason remains directly involved in the transaction rather than assigning the client relationship to a separate team or department.
He manages the real estate strategy, coordinates participating professionals, communicates material developments, and provides consistent updates.
Coordination With the Athlete's Existing Advisors
Jason works collaboratively with the athlete's authorized professional representatives.
Depending on the transaction, this may include a sports agent, business manager, attorney, accountant, lender, wealth advisor, or family office.
Confidentiality and Discretion
Jason works with clients to establish appropriate procedures for communication, property access, private showings, and the handling of sensitive information.
Privacy preferences are considered throughout the transaction while complying with applicable legal and professional obligations.
Market Analysis and Negotiation
Jason evaluates comparable sales, competing properties, market conditions, property characteristics, and potential resale considerations.
This information supports pricing decisions, offer strategies, and negotiations.
Weekly Written Progress Reports
During active transactions, Jason provides structured weekly updates to the athlete and designated advisors.
These reports summarize completed milestones, current status, outstanding issues, upcoming deadlines, decisions requiring approval, and priorities for the following week.
Important developments are communicated promptly rather than waiting for the next scheduled report.
The 7-Step Luxury Home Buying Process for Athletes and Their Advisors
Step 1: Establish the Athlete's Residential Objectives
Jason begins with a confidential consultation to understand the athlete's preferred neighborhoods, budget, timeline, property requirements, and anticipated holding period.
He also establishes how the client prefers to communicate and which authorized advisors should participate in the process.
Step 2: Develop a Personalized Property Search
Jason identifies properties that align with the athlete's priorities, including privacy, security, architecture, property size, amenities, location, and future resale considerations.
The search may include publicly marketed properties and appropriate private or off-market opportunities when available.
For athletes with limited availability, Jason can organize focused property tours and provide preliminary information to support efficient decision-making.
Step 3: Evaluate Property Value and Ownership Considerations
Jason prepares comparative market analyses using relevant sales, competing inventory, property condition, and current market demand.
When authorized, he coordinates real estate information with the athlete's business manager, financial advisor, lender, or attorney.
This allows the advisory team to consider the purchase alongside ownership costs, financing, anticipated holding period, and broader financial objectives.
Legal, tax, and financing decisions remain with the appropriate professionals.
Step 4: Prepare and Negotiate the Offer
Jason develops an offer strategy based on market conditions, competing demand, the seller's circumstances, and the athlete's priorities.
He explains relevant contractual considerations, negotiates according to the client's instructions, and obtains the necessary approvals.
Step 5: Coordinate Escrow, Title, Inspections, and Due Diligence
Once an offer is accepted, Jason coordinates the real estate transaction with escrow, title, inspectors, lenders, transaction coordination, and other relevant professionals.
He monitors contractual deadlines, schedules property access, coordinates inspections, and communicates matters requiring further review.
Step 6: Provide Weekly Updates to the Advisory Team
Jason provides written updates to the athlete and designated representatives throughout the transaction.
Each report identifies progress, outstanding items, upcoming deadlines, and decisions requiring attention.
Material developments are communicated as they arise.
Step 7: Coordinate Closing and Continued Representation
As closing approaches, Jason coordinates the final walkthrough, outstanding transaction matters, and communication with the relevant professionals.
After closing, he remains available for future property valuations, residential sales, additional acquisitions, and real estate questions.
The 7-Step Luxury Home Selling Process for Athletes and Their Advisors
A professional athlete may need to sell a residence following a team transfer, career transition, family decision, or change in investment priorities.
For sports agents and business managers, coordinating the sale may involve evaluating the property, preparing it for market, monitoring transaction expenses, and aligning the closing with another residential purchase.
Jason Bergman provides a structured selling process designed around the client's goals and schedule.
Step 1: Confidential Seller Consultation
Jason reviews the property, anticipated timeline, seller objectives, privacy preferences, and any relocation requirements.
When appropriate, he coordinates relevant information with the athlete's authorized advisors.
Step 2: Property Valuation and Pricing Strategy
Jason prepares a comparative market analysis based on recent sales, competing inventory, property characteristics, and market conditions.
He works with the seller to establish a pricing strategy that reflects the property's position in the market.
Step 3: Property Preparation and Luxury Marketing
Jason develops a marketing plan tailored to the residence.
Depending on the property, preparation may include repairs, staging, landscaping, professional photography, architectural imagery, and other improvements.
Through The Agency, Jason can leverage luxury marketing capabilities, brokerage relationships, digital exposure, and local and international professional connections.
Step 4: Manage Showings and Negotiate Offers
Jason establishes showing procedures that reflect the seller's privacy preferences.
He evaluates offers based on price, financing, contingencies, deposit terms, closing timelines, and the buyer's ability to perform.
Private or limited marketing may be considered where appropriate, with a clear explanation of the potential tradeoffs.
Step 5: Coordinate Escrow and Transaction Requirements
Following acceptance, Jason coordinates the real estate transaction with escrow, title, inspectors, lenders, transaction coordination, and other relevant professionals.
He monitors deadlines, communicates outstanding matters, and helps manage the process through closing.
Step 6: Provide Weekly Written Seller Updates
Jason provides the athlete and authorized advisors with weekly progress reports.
These updates include completed milestones, pending items, contractual deadlines, anticipated closing dates, and decisions requiring approval.
Step 7: Coordinate Closing and the Next Residential Purchase
Jason oversees the real estate aspects of closing and works with the client's professional team.
When the athlete is relocating, Jason can coordinate the transition to the next property through his global network of qualified real estate professionals.
The objective is to manage the existing sale and next purchase as parts of a coordinated relocation strategy.
White Glove Global Relocation for Professional Athletes
One Relationship. Two Markets. A Global Network.
Professional athletes may need to relocate following a new contract, trade, team transfer, or other career opportunity.
A relocation may involve selling a residence in Los Angeles while purchasing a home in another city, or moving to Southern California while preparing to sell an existing property elsewhere.
For sports agents and business managers, these situations create additional responsibilities involving transaction timing, financial coordination, communication, and the athlete's professional schedule.
Jason Bergman personally coordinates the real estate aspects of these relocations through his global network of qualified real estate professionals.
He remains the central real estate contact, bringing together appropriately licensed agents in each market and coordinating communication with the athlete's authorized advisory team.
The client is not handed off to a separate relocation department.
Instead, Jason maintains direct involvement throughout the relocation, managing the Los Angeles transaction and coordinating with the local real estate professional responsible for representation in the other market.
Step 1: Establish a Unified Relocation Strategy
Jason reviews the athlete's anticipated move, existing property ownership, new home requirements, professional schedule, and preferred timeline.
He identifies the key decisions affecting the sale and purchase and establishes a coordinated real estate plan.
Step 2: Assemble the Real Estate Team in Both Markets
Through his global professional network, Jason identifies a qualified local real estate agent in the destination or departure market.
The selection considers local market knowledge, luxury property experience, communication standards, and the client's objectives.
Jason directly manages the Los Angeles transaction and remains the primary contact for the broader relocation.
The other agent provides local representation within their licensed jurisdiction.
Step 3: Coordinate the Existing Home Sale
If the athlete is selling a Los Angeles residence, Jason directly oversees pricing, property preparation, marketing, negotiations, and transaction coordination.
If the existing property is located outside his licensed market, he works with the appropriately licensed local agent to coordinate relevant information and timelines.
Step 4: Coordinate the New Home Purchase
Jason directly manages the athlete's Los Angeles home search or works with the destination market agent when the athlete is purchasing elsewhere.
Property requirements, privacy preferences, purchase timelines, and relevant financial considerations are communicated across the real estate team.
Step 5: Personally Coordinate the Global Relocation Team
Jason Bergman personally coordinates the real estate professionals and service providers involved in the athlete's relocation, serving as the central point of contact throughout the process.
Through his global network of trusted real estate agents and professional relationships, Jason brings together the appropriate resources in each market, including escrow and title providers, attorneys, lenders, financial advisors, moving companies, and property service professionals.
Rather than transferring the client to a separate relocation department, Jason maintains direct involvement, coordinating communication among participating professionals and ensuring that the athlete and their authorized advisors remain informed.
Whether relocating across the country or internationally, Jason provides a personalized, white glove experience supported by his professional network. Appropriately licensed local agents manage representation and transaction requirements in their respective markets.
Step 6: Provide One Coordinated Weekly Update
Jason provides the athlete's designated sports agent, business manager, or family office with a consolidated weekly update covering both real estate transactions.
The report may include the status of the existing property sale, progress on the new purchase, outstanding contingencies, anticipated closing dates, relocation arrangements, and decisions requiring approval.
Important developments are communicated promptly.
Step 7: Coordinate Closings and the Residential Transition
As both transactions approach closing, Jason coordinates communication among the participating real estate agents and service providers.
Because transactions in different jurisdictions may follow different procedures, closing dates cannot always be guaranteed.
Jason's role is to maintain continuity, organize the real estate process, and keep the athlete and advisory team informed.
Why Personal Relocation Coordination Matters
For professional athletes, the advantage of Jason Bergman's approach is continuity.
The athlete works with a dedicated real estate advisor who understands their objectives.
The sports agent has a primary contact for transaction updates.
The business manager receives coordinated real estate information to support financial planning.
And qualified local agents provide the expertise required in their respective markets.
Rather than requiring the athlete's advisory team to independently coordinate two unrelated real estate transactions, Jason provides one consistent relationship supported by a global professional network.
Weekly Real Estate Reporting for Sports Agents, Business Managers, and Family Offices
Jason Bergman's weekly reporting process is designed to provide clear, organized information throughout an active purchase, sale, or relocation.
A typical update includes:
Current transaction status and completed milestones.
Outstanding documents, inspections, negotiations, or other matters.
Upcoming contractual deadlines and scheduled appointments.
Financing, escrow, and title updates when relevant and authorized.
Decisions requiring the athlete's approval.
Responsibilities and priorities for the following week.
For relocations involving multiple markets, Jason coordinates information from the participating real estate professionals and provides a consolidated overview.
Weekly reports supplement direct communication. Material developments requiring immediate attention are communicated promptly.
This approach helps sports agents and business managers stay informed while allowing each professional to focus on their responsibilities.
Confidential Real Estate Transactions for Professional Athletes
Privacy can be an important consideration for professional athletes purchasing or selling residential real estate.
Public recognition may create concerns involving property access, personal information, security, and unwanted attention.
Jason works with clients and their authorized representatives to establish appropriate confidentiality procedures.
Private Property Searches
Jason can investigate private and off-market opportunities through professional relationships and brokerage channels when available.
Not every property is offered privately, and access to off-market opportunities cannot be guaranteed.
Discreet Luxury Home Sales
Some sellers prefer limited marketing, carefully managed showings, or additional buyer qualification procedures.
Jason helps clients evaluate these options while explaining the potential impact of reduced market exposure.
Ownership Through LLCs and Trusts
Some athletes explore purchasing property through an LLC, trust, or another ownership structure.
These arrangements may have legal, tax, estate planning, or administrative implications.
They do not automatically guarantee anonymity, and public records or applicable reporting requirements may still disclose ownership information.
Jason coordinates with the athlete's legal and financial professionals when alternative ownership structures are being considered.
Choosing the Right Los Angeles Neighborhood for a Professional Athlete
Selecting a neighborhood requires consideration of more than property price or architectural style.
For professional athletes, location can affect daily training schedules, travel requirements, privacy, household routines, and long-term ownership plans.
Jason Bergman helps clients evaluate residential neighborhoods according to their individual requirements.
Potential markets include Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Marino, South Pasadena, Los Feliz, Encino, Studio City, Hidden Hills, Calabasas, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Manhattan Beach, and surrounding communities.
The appropriate location depends on the athlete's specific professional and residential priorities.

Real estate ownership can form part of a broader financial strategy for professional athletes.
In addition to primary residences, some athletes may evaluate multifamily properties, residential income properties, commercial real estate, mixed-use buildings, or development opportunities.
Jason Bergman's professional background includes real estate valuation, underwriting, and multifamily investment analysis.
His early career experience at Marcus & Millichap and completion of the USC Lusk Ross Program in Real Estate provide additional perspective when evaluating investment properties.
