About
Darrell Levonian brings deep expertise gained through consistent success specializing in real estate solutions for investment property owners in Southern California and Greater LA—representing a broad range of family office, regional, national, and institutional clients.
Darrell joined Kidder Mathews in 2018 and was pivotal in the firm’s growth in Southern California, launching the Century City office as Managing Director. Now a shareholder and member of the board of directors, he helps guide the company’s ongoing strategic direction.
Previously, Darrell served as President of the Charles Dunn Company, where he developed new service lines and advanced the firm’s position in the market. Throughout his professional life, he has recruited and mentored hundreds of professionals, including numerous from Charles Dunn to form Kidder Mathews’ Century City office—laying the foundation for the company’s continued success in Greater Los Angeles.
Earlier in his career, Darrell quickly adapted to a commission-based environment upon entering the industry in south Orange County during an economic downturn—an experience that fueled his entrepreneurial mindset. He went on to co-found the Bank of Whittier N.A., where he served on the Holding Company board, the board of the bank, and multiple committees, and where he remains a shareholder today. He also held leadership roles as general manager of sales and chair of another regional brokerage, significantly expanding the firm’s commercial brokerage division over an 11-year span. His expertise was in all business lines of brokerage spanning from Northern California to San Diego. Along the way, he assembled real estate partnerships as a principal and invested with partners.
Darrell is widely recognized for his leadership, commitment to high professional standards, and dedication to helping others succeed—earning the respect and loyalty of clients and colleagues across the industry.
He holds a degree in Finance and Business Administration from the University of Southern California.
