Russell Grether
Russell Grether has broken the traditional stereotype of real estate agents. He is at the forefront of the next generation of realtors who can be successful without sacrificing his core values of integrity, honesty, kindness, and fairness. Russell is a founding partner of the Compass Malibu office and is in the elite top 1% of sales associates nationwide.
After years of growing up in rural Ventura County on an avocado ranch, Russell graduated cum laude with a dual degree in International Business and Spanish from Pepperdine University. He transitioned into the real estate industry and has remained there for almost 10 years. Some of his notable sales include celebrity landmark estate parcels, large income ranches, beach homes, and commercial developments.
Russell is an avid surfer, rock climber, and sailor. He loves the adventure of going to new places and experiencing different cultures - especially if that involves his wife, Elizabeth, their daughters, Sage and Sierra, and their German Shepherd, Riley.
Tony Mark
Tony is known for representing exclusive properties in the Malibu beach area for a distinguished clientele that includes celebrities, corporate executives, and members of the entertainment community. A second-generation realtor and lifelong Malibu resident, Tony has consistently been recognized as a top producer during his 25+ years in real estate.
He has been featured in “THE THOUSAND” by the Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends several times, recognizing the top 1000 real estate agents nationally and top 50 agents nationally for average sales price. In 2015, Tony was noted by the Los Angeles Times for having sold the highest-priced home in all of Greater Los Angeles, at over $60 million dollars. Tony lives in Malibu with his wife Jessica, and their three children.
When he isn't working, Tony can be found surfing at Point Dume or mountain biking in the Santa Monica Mountains. Every year, Tony participates in the Malibu Triathlon, raising money for Children's Hospital of L.A. and inspiring others to take part.
