Gene Bush

About Gene Bush:
It was while purchasing his own Hollywood Hills home that Gene Bush decided to enter the real estate market himself as a broker. That was 13 years ago, and in that time he has earned a reputation as one of the top producers in the industry, and the coveted designation of International President’s Elite, representing the top 2 percent of Coldwell Banker agents internationally. He is the go-to agent for buyers and sellers who know he will not rest until he gets them what they want.
“I fell in love with the process,” Gene says of his own home-buying experience. “I had a great real estate agent, who was with me every step of the way. The positive experience I had was one that I wanted to create for other people when finding them the home of their dreams.”
Gene calls Coldwell Banker his home away from home, dividing his time between the Sunset Strip and Beverly Hills North offices. A former stockbroker, he says his time working on Wall Street sharpened his intuition in finding solid investments, and honed his skills at cultivating relationships with clients based on communication and trust.
“Communication is among the most important aspects of any client relationship I have,” says Gene, who holds a bachelor’s in economics from Syracuse University in his native New York. “I insist on honesty and candor, and my clients respect that, and feel at ease because of it. I learned early on that exaggerated advertising does not get deals done, but rather the reverse is true.”
A good communicator is as much a good listener as a good conversationalist. Gene listens to his clients when they tell him what they looking for in a new home, or what they would like to sell their existing property for. Passionate about his work, Gene takes the time to get to know his clients, and makes their home-buying or selling priorities his own. He designs a personal plan and works closely with them to set goals that will not only meet their expectations, but often exceed them.
“I rarely give five-out-of-five stars for anything, but Gene is the exception,” says client Michael Holler. “He made the experience enjoyable and mellow. He is the consummate professional.”
“I tell anyone who will listen that they’d be in great hands if they chose Gene for their real estate needs,” says another client, Barbara Swenson. “I sold my home of 37 years in Beverly Hills and Gene made what could have been a stressful time feel effortless. He anticipated what needed to be done well ahead of time and left nothing to the last minute. He is first class.”
Gene is a Certified Negotiation Expert, a much sought-after credential that has given him a significant advantage in closing mutually beneficial deals, creating better outcomes and garnering him much repeat and referred business.
At the end of the day, Gene says his love of the market and brokering transactions that he knows will make his clients happy, is what keeps him motivated. “I just love making deals and getting my clients the very best.”
