David Ferrell’s breezy piece in Los Angeles magazine about successfull real estate agents kicks off with some sobering stuff: ‘Most agents are doomed to fail ... historically, in five years’ time, more than half of those who enter the business give up and seek a steadier line of work.’ So Ferrell profiles three winners:

Marna Brennan of Long Beach (pictured). Assertive and confident, ‘the White Tornado,’ as she’s known, drives a gold Cadillac and closed 106 transactions worth $82 million in the past two years. Did someone say ‘slowdown’? Not to Marna. www.marnabrennan.com.

Brock Harris of Silver Lake: Catchphrase: ‘Glassel Park’s the new Echo Park.’ Uniform: Black Prius, untucked dress shirt. Player: at 31, has already bought nearly a dozen investment properties in LA. www.silverlakerealestate.com.

Mike Deasy, co-owner of deasy/penner&partners of Beverly Hills: Self-described ‘architectural groupie,’ studied architecture at Yale, specializes in houses with pedigrees. Keywords: Kappe, Killingsworth, Neutra, Schinder, etc. www.deasypenner.com.
