Meet Phyllis Harb – Los Angeles Realtor
Phyllis Harb is the premier Los Angeles Realtor. Her career began in mortgage banking in the 1980s. She developed a vast knowledge of the mortgage industry, from experience as a top loan officer to a Vice President for a division of Sterling Bank.

This experience taught Phyllis to be creative and to develop unique and innovative strategies for each of her listings. “Having sold more than 1,000 homes, Phyllis has achieved significant career success”, said Steve Kantor, President of Best Agent Business and author of Billion Dollar Agent – Lessons Learned.
