California's Most Trusted
Luxury Real Estate Firm

For nearly two decades, Novest Realty has been the definitive name in California luxury property — a trusted advisor to buyers, sellers, and investors across the state's most prestigious communities.

Our Story

Built on Trust, Driven by Excellence

Founded in 2006 by industry veteran Richard Novest, our agency began with a single office in Beverly Hills and a belief that luxury real estate deserved a higher standard of service.

Today, with over 500 licensed agents across 42 California cities, we have facilitated more than $2.4 billion in real estate transactions — yet we still approach every client relationship with the same personalized attention that defined our founding vision.

We believe that finding the right home is one of life's most profound experiences. Our job is to make that experience seamless, transparent, and ultimately extraordinary.
