Hilton, whose grandfather founded the Hilton Hotel empire, has vast experience in residential sales and commercial financing and sales, as well as real estate development. As a principal, he developed Brentwood Country Estates, a 14-parcel, gate-guarded enclave in prestigious Mandeville Canyon. Hyland, a veteran broker and celebrated architectural historian, is a past president of the Beverly Hills Board of Realtors as well as the 30,000-member Los Angeles County Board of Real Estate. Clearly one of the most recognized real estate figures in all of Southern California, Hyland was recently named "The Gatekeeper of Holmby Hills" by Town & Country magazine. It has often been said that the Los Angeles real estate market is unlike any other in the world. To that end, Rick Hilton and Jeff Hyland have built strong ties to the global marketplace while holding fast to the advantages of a small one-office company based in Beverly Hills. As a founding affiliate of Christie's Great Estates, the firm is the only Los Angeles-area broker represented by a company that has been bringing the world's most influential - and affluent - buyers and sellers together for more than 230 years. Christie's, the world's oldest art auction company, acquired Great Estates, Inc. in 1987. Since that time Christie's Great Estates has grown into the largest international network of independent real estate brokers specializing in important properties. More than 120 real estate firms representing some 14,000 agents and 350 offices are responsible for approximately $50 billion in annual sales. Christie's Great Estates Magazine contributes measurably to the marketing of these extraordinary properties. Recently featured in its pages was Rudolph Valentino's "Falcon Lair," later owned by heiress Doris Duke. It is one of the many celebrity estates sold by Hilton & Hyland. In matters of personal service, Hilton & Hyland's commitment to their clients has long surpassed the standards by which other real estate firms are judged ... in the highly selective Los Angeles community as well as the most privileged places on earth.
