The efforts of local real estate agent Cindy Ambuehl were recently recognized as she was named to the Christie’s International Real Estate 2024 Masters Circle—“a select group of top-performing agents within the worldwide Christie’s International Real Estate network” that began in 2019.
“Each agent is nominated by their brokerage and must meet rigorous standards for luxury sales volume, client service and a commitment to professional excellence in real estate,” according to a statement.
The Masters Circle Class of 2024 features over 300 agents that represent over $9 billion in annual sales with market expertise across a range of properties.
“Our 2024 Masters Circle Class represents the best luxury real estate professionals in the world—an elite group of agents who consistently achieve a level of success that few in our industry reach,” said Natalie Hamrick, president of affiliate services for Christie’s International Real Estate. “These agents are leaders in their respective markets, and each has an unwavering commitment to providing their clients with a bespoke, luxury experience. We’re incredibly proud to have them in the Christie’s International Real Estate network, and we look forward to their continued success in 2024.”
The benefits of being part of the Masters Circle include dedicated networking groups, branded graphics for marketing use, a personalized landing page on christiesrealestate.com and more.
Ambuehl, who spent 20 years in the entertainment industry as an actress and model, now leverages her ability to connect with people as a full-time real estate agent, helping clients buy and sell luxury properties in the greater Los Angeles area.
Over the past year, the Santa Monica Canyon resident achieved a total sales figure of $185 million and has closed over $2 billion in total career sales volume. She ranked 20th in California and 40th in the nation, as measured by sales volume.
“Named one of Los Angeles’ Top 100 Real Estate Agents by Los Angeles Business Journal, Hollywood’s Top 30 Real Estate Agents by The Hollywood Reporter and recognized by Variety as one of the ‘Showbiz Real Estate Elites,’ Cindy repeatedly earns a spot on Real Trends’ annual ‘The Thousand’ and countless other accolades,” the statement continued.
In 2020, Ambuehl shared with the Palisadian-Post that she grew up in Orange County and had an “amazing childhood” with her parents and sister. She said she “always had a love for real estate,” and pursued it as a hobby throughout her 22-year acting career.
“I used to take my studio bonuses, and buy duplexes and apartment buildings in Orange County,” she explained. “I also bought a couple properties in Yorba Linda. I always enjoyed it.”
She said her time in the entertainment industry helped her in real estate, how one has “to be OK with the ups and downs.”
“In both industries (entertainment and real estate), there are times when you are working around the clock, day in and day out, and there are other times when things have slowed down, and you are waiting for the next big season,” Ambuehl said to the Post. “The entertainment industry taught me to ride out those lows. Like a plane, we are built to withstand the turbulence.”
