Backstory Behind Stephanie and Guest

When I moved to DTLA over three years ago, I asked everyone I knew, “Who do I need to know in this community?” Hal’s name was mentioned the most. I set a meeting with him and soon understood why he is on the top of everyone’s list. Hal is the best blend of a true professional and the guy you want call your friend. He does everything with purpose whether it be closing a deal or making someone laugh that needs to smile. Hal’s the man! DTLA is lucky to have his love and drive behind our community.  – Stephanie Michele
