You will be able to search over 40 areas in Los Angeles, including Malibu, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood, agents will have access to data from 16,000 real estate professionals in the Paragon system. To see full The MLS™/CLAW area coverage please visit this website and click on the areas you are interested in.

What are Blind Spots? 

Blind spots, or labels, refer to unconscious biases that people have towards individuals or groups from different backgrounds or cultures. These labels can limit opportunities and lead to unequal treatment in various areas of life.
