An industry sage and respected pro, John Aaroe is the CEO of John Aaroe Group (which merged in December 2016 with Pacific Union), one of the top-performing private brokerages in the country and a top five brokerage for sales volume in Los Angeles. His firm’s luxury clientele continues to grow and garners instant respect, though he has never been keen to adopt corporate structure. Recently acquired by Pacific Union International, John Aaroe Group is averaging more than one new office per year since opening in 2008, with new offices in downtown L.A. and Studio City in 2016.
