NEXTGEN WOMAN OF THE YEAR HONOREE
ADRIENNE HERKES
Real Estate Agent
The Agency
For Adrienne Herkes, entering the Los Angeles real estate market with no established network or background in the business required resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to building relationships the right way. After beginning her career in marketing and advertising, she quickly realized she was drawn to a more entrepreneurial path, one that combined strategy, creativity, communication, and the ability to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives during major transitions. Since launching her career in 2018, Herkes has built her business from the ground up through consistency, professionalism, and genuine relationshipbuilding. She believes she is in a customer service based industry – not a sales business. Rather than relying on shortcuts, Herkes focuses on creating trust within the community through open houses, client education, thoughtful marketing, and hands-on service. That relationship-first approach has allowed her to grow a business rooted in repeat and referral clients across Los Angeles. Throughout her career, Herkes has continually invested in personal and professional growth through coaching, continuing education, industry organizations, and earning the AHWD Certification to better serve diverse communities.
