Two factors distinguish a great company from other companies of their kind. One is attention to detail. Since 1982, Belmont Brokerage & Management, Inc. has distinguished itself in Long Beach by attending to the details of managing and brokering residential income property. The second factor – almost old-fashioned today – is a desire to make a difference in clients’ lives.

W. Kurt Wood, Belmont President, who holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in finance from the University of Southern California and Long Beach State University respectively, founded Belmont Brokerage & Management, Inc., bringing an in-depth knowledge of real estate, finance, accounting and taxation to the business. With his financial background in corporate, small business and real estate matters, Wood has provided the guiding influence for Belmont’s corporate philosophy since the company was founded. Wood was eventually joined by Jonathan Orenshein, a seasoned-veteran in the property management industry, with extensive training in maintenance, collections, accounting, legal/civil codes, staff supervisions and property habitability enforcement statutes, that complements Wood’s strengths. Together, these seemingly unstoppable guys have created a full-service real estate brokerage and management company.

 

Wood, a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Property Manager with the Institute of Real Estate Management and a Realtor® with the Pacific West Association of Realtors, holds Belmont to a higher standard, subject to both institutions’ codes of ethics, by continually asking, “Is this in our client’s best interest?” Belmont’s clients have certain expectations about their investment goals and dreams of having a small business, and Belmont has created a system that can take a client’s concept and respond with various approaches to making an investment dream become a reality.
