Josh Altman, Star of Bravo TV's 'Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles'

If you’ve ever watched the hit Bravo TV show, Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, you know that Josh Altman doesn't mind telling it like it is and doing what he needs to get a job done. The high-powered, high-energy, Los Angeles- based real estate agent is one of the stars of the reality show. #MDLLA is back for its 7th season, which airs Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. If you’ve ever wondered how someone like Altman got where he is today, it was anything but the typical route. Altman grew up in Newton, Massachusetts. He went to Syracuse University where he studied speech communications and played football for the Syracuse Orange. After graduation he moved to Los Angeles. He started out his career there by flipping houses- buying them cheap and then selling them for a profit. That path soon led to Altman running a real estate finance company. Then, as viewers learned in previous seasons, he finally struck it out on his own with his brother Matt to form the Altman Brothers Real Estate Brokerage. Together, the brothers have represented celebrities, professional athletes and other high-net-worth clients with some of the highest valued homes in the Platinum Triangle of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Holmby Hills. A feather in Altman’s cap is the most expensive one bedroom ever sold for $21,500,000. And it is commissions on sales like that and keeping his clients happy that Josh says keeps him going. As for the future, there's no slowing down for Altman. This self-proclaimed perfectionist says he plans to continue growing his business by closing some of the biggest and best real estate deals the Hollywood Hills have to offer while expanding his brand nationwide.
