News Summary
Barron and Tessa Hilton have transitioned from their brokerage Hilton+Hilton to Compass, aiming for long-term success in Los Angeles’ dynamic real estate market. They believe Compass’ technology and marketing resources will enhance their innovative approaches to luxury real estate. While their new move aligns them with a larger brokerage, Barron’s father will continue to operate independently. The Hiltons, known for their high-profile transactions, plan to introduce several luxury listings soon, leveraging their expertise for continued success in the upscale market.
Los Angeles – Barron and Tessa Hilton, prominent figures in luxury real estate, have officially transitioned from their brokerage Hilton+Hilton to join Compass, marking a significant shift in the competitive Los Angeles real estate market. This strategic move, announced recently, aims to position both the couple and their clients for long-term success amidst a rapidly evolving industry landscape.
In their joint statement, Barron and Tessa Hilton expressed their enthusiasm for aligning with Compass, citing the brokerage’s unmatched scale, cutting-edge technology, and powerful marketing resources as key factors in their decision. While the Hiltons embrace this new venture, Barron’s father, Rick Hilton, will continue to operate as an independent broker under the Hilton+Hilton brand.
Parker Beatty, the Regional Vice President of Southern California and Hawaii at Compass, conveyed excitement over the Hiltons’ move, acknowledging their deep commitment to clients and expertise in the luxury market. The Hiltons have gained recognition in the industry, appearing on The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Power Brokers list for their exceptional achievements.
The couple’s real estate journey began in 2020 at Hilton+Hyland, which was co-founded by Barron’s father. In 2022, they made headlines when they departed from Hilton+Hyland, eventually launching their own firm, Hilton+Hilton, in 2024. Their reputation is built upon high-profile transactions, including the sale of the Paul Williams Estate in Holmby Hills for $61.5 million and a Bel Air property for $25 million.
Recently, the Hiltons have represented notable clients, including tech mogul Lucy Guo in the purchase of a Hollywood Hills property for $29.5 million and Paris Hilton in acquiring a Beverly Park estate valued at $63.1 million. They have also gained attention for their innovative approach to open house events, combining elements such as art installations, fashion showcases, and live performances to provide a unique experience for potential buyers.
Tessa Hilton remarked on their immersive approach, indicating that these experiences not only showcase the homes but also highlight the lifestyle associated with them. With the advanced resources available at Compass, the couple plans to enhance their innovative sales strategy while concentrating on luxury markets, particularly in Beverly Hills, and expanding their reach to Palm Beach and other strategic locations.
Barron Hilton’s background includes a role as Vice President of Marketing at Bernstein Equity Partners in New York City before entering the real estate field. Tessa transitioned to this industry from a career focused on fashion and lifestyle brands around the same time they co-founded their brokerage.
The Hiltons are poised to launch several high-end listings soon, including a six-bedroom, eight-bath home in the Hollywood Hills, which is priced at $28.95 million and boasts a range of luxury amenities. This move to Compass further illustrates the brokerage’s ongoing strategy to attract top talent from within the real estate industry, including significant hires from Hilton & Hyland.
As Barron and Tessa Hilton embark on this new chapter with Compass, their combined expertise and innovative approach to luxury real estate are expected to drive continued success in their careers and further elevate the standards of the luxury market in Los Angeles.
