Written by Karine Monié Photographs courtesy of WSA Over 4,000 properties sold for more than $3 billion, at an average of 96 percent of their list price in less than 60 days on the market. And with more than 100 years combined experience in the real estate market: some- times numbers speak louder than words. For partners Ron Wynn, Steve Sawaii and Fiora Aston from WSA, who recently joined Compass, these achievements are the result of expertise, passion, personal touches and hard work. Through the years, the trio has learned exactly how to work together in the best possible way, complementing each other and sharing a willingness to provide the high- est level of professionalism and efficacy to their clients. Wynn, who comes from a real estate family, is the prob- lem-solver. He was licensed at the age of 18 and, for more than 10 years, was included in the Wall Street Journal's list of the top 100 real estate professionals in the country. Sawaii—whose clientele spans generations and includes celebrities and athletes—is the "people person" and the master of numbers. And Aston, who trained in architec- ture and urban planning, is the impeccable taste master. The three specialize in Los Angeles's newly dubbed Sili- con Beach, and the enclaves of Brentwood, Century City, Santa Monica and the Pacific Palisades. In a very competitive market, Wynn, Sawaii and Aston understand the need to stand out—and they certainly do. Over the years, they have acquired unique knowl- edge of the areas where they work, and among their big advantages is access to properties that are not on the market. Each time this is the case, they contact their priority private clients, giving them a unique opportunity to be on the frontline and see their dream before anyone else. This illustrates the type of personalized service that Wynn, Sawaii and Aston provide. There are, however, many other aspects that the three top agents consider in their daily work.
