Ralph Suarez
Ralph Suarez is one of the highest ranked
REALTORS ® in the Los Angeles area, but you
wouldn’t know it by talking with him. Precious
few words escape from this man of action who
completed 150 real estate transactions in 2010
and 135 in 2011 and earned the Wall Street
Journal and Real Trends #227 ranking
nationwide.
Suarez readily acknowledges that his team of
six—marketing assistant, tech assistant,
billing assistant, 2 field assistants, and an
escrow coordinator—enables him to focus
on his strengths and work with people to get
their transactions closed. However, closing
nearly 300 transactions in two years takes
more than team cooperation. Ralph knows
his business, works hard for at least 12 hours
a day, and doesn’t waste time.
Ralph Suarez works mostly with home sellers
and mostly with Real Estate Owned (REO)
properties. His territory is Los Angeles in
general, with a focus on the La Canada,
Pasadena, Glendale, and Los Feliz areas. Ralph

part of the Dilbeck Real Estate company
(affiliated with Real Living) which hosts more
than 600 agents in their 14 offices in the LA
area. It is a big enough task to lead sales in that
company, let alone topping the charts in LA and
ranking in the top 250 nationwide. Ralph has
done so, achieving monumental success
through persistence, availability, and oldfashioned
hard work. Says Ralph, “I value each
and every one of my clients, and I’m
determined to make each transaction a success.”
Ralph gained experience in the real estate
industry directly out of high school by
managing part of his grandfather’s large
portfolio of properties. After learning the
ropes in tenant leases, rent administration, and
maintenance, Ralph expanded his expertise
into REO properties, representing buyers and
guiding them through the more complicated
transactions with banks and mortgage
companies. Suarez also worked with condominium
developers, representing them in sales
transactions. He explored real estate investment,
buying and fixing up properties for
resale. Experience in all these areas allowed

“If you work hard, be honest and up front with clients,
you’ll have return business.”
Ralph to develop his negotiating skills and
build marketing and appraisal techniques, and
convinced him to become a full-time real
estate agent in about 1994. Regardless of the
particular area Ralph focused on through the
years, his grandfather’s advice always guided
him: “If you work hard, be honest and up front
with clients, you’ll have return business.” The
great majority of Ralph’s clients give him
repeat business and referrals, confirming the
strength of the philosophy and Ralph’s
commitment to hard work.
Ralph Suarez succinctly sums up his approach
to real estate and life: “Do what you say you’re
going to do, and people will respect that.”
