Blake Roberts
The Captain of the Ship
Blake Roberts has nearly two decades of in the trenches real estate sales experience. He is a true Los Angeles native, born and raised in the West Los Angeles community of Brentwood. Blake is a Broker Associate, founding member of Compass’ South Bay team, and Principal of the Pier to Pier Group. Blake’s unofficial title is chief listener, problem solver and master negotiator.
Following an insatiable passion for the arts, food, travel, mid-century architecture and anything design, Blake has established himself as a hyper local expert, and as one of the leading agents along Los Angeles coastline neighborhoods and cities, which includes Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica and West Los Angeles.
As a refugee from Silicon Valley he had a successful career in marketing and public relations for some of the most recognized names in technology. Today, Blake applies many of his early life (and corporate) lessons to his real estate practice, and works tirelessly to strengthen his team’s skills to meet and exceed the high expectations of today’s savvy real estate customer. With a library of educational video content, social media posts and weekly podcasts, Blake is fully entrenched in our local online community.
Along with his wife Diana Roberts, the two highly creative entrepreneurs launched The Pier to Pier Group. The duo, along with help from family, friends and a heaping spoonful of moxie, established one of the South Bay’s most successful real estate brands. We are real estate pioneers who are focused on visibility, story telling and the hyper local housing market. Our focus isn’t about us and what we’ve accomplished, it’s 100% about you and your personal real estate story.
A true global citizen. Blake, his wife and two children are all members of the European Union, giving him a unique perspective on the international real estate front. When not exploring, Blake and his family call Manhattan Beach home.
