The Contour of Luxury Spring/Summer 2020 Issue | Page 91

I
f you have read my real estate related articles in previous issues of The
Contour of Luxury™ you know that I was once an upper tier market
Realtor®, and my affinity and respect for this business and those who
rise to the top within it is abiding. While the amount of Realtors® in
the real estate business is quite vast, the coveted coterie of luxury real
estate brokers and agents is most often quite tapered by comparison.
It was within a such desired coterie in Los Angeles, California that
I was introduced to Yawar Charlie. Yawar is the grandson of Indian
film legend, Noor Mohammed Charlie, one of the pioneers of the
Bollywood film industry. Following in his family’s footsteps, Yawar moved to Los
Angeles to pursue a career in Television and Film. After dozens of roles in TV
and Film, Yawar turned his focus to Real Estate. He joined Sotheby’s International
Realty in 2008, eventually forming The Charlie and Sanchez Realty Group with
his business partner Karen Sanchez. In the spring of 2014, they made the exciting
move to join the international real estate brokers Engel & Volkers, in their new
Beverly Hills office. In 2016, Yawar and Karen were invited to join the real estate
powerhouse team, Aaron Kirman Partners, top selling real estate team in California.
Read on as my interview with the noted Yawar Charlie picks up here, where you will
see Yawar's clips from the new hit CNBC TV show 'Listing Impossible', his interview
with NSYNC’s Lance Bass at his West Hollywood hot spot, as well as more about
Yawar, the man himself. But...before you go on...I want to share the most exciting part
of all! Yawar Charlie is the first ever Male Cover Story for The Contour of Luxury™
and I am thrilled to have him grace this season's cover. Stroll through and enjoy...
