Peter attended Dartmouth College and the University of California where he received a B.A. in Environmental Studies/Landscape Architecture. He received his law degree from UC Berkeley and practiced corporate, real estate and entertainment law with top Century City firms Greenberg, Glusker and Jeffer, Mangels & Butler. Subsequently, he served as Vice President, Legal Affairs, for 20th Century Fox Film Corporation. Peter left the practice of law to pursue his true passion: real estate. Among his clients are lawyers, business and personal managers, physicians, investment bankers, real estate developers, major studios and their key executives, musicians, actors, writers, directors, and producers.

Marketing and advertising his properties in an aggressive, creative and directed manner, Peter sells his listings through targeted advertising and vast array of personal contacts in the community. Peter’s access to qualified buyers afforded by his contacts and experience is coupled with negotiating skills honed over more than three decades of working with demanding, high profile clientele. His ability to listen to his clients and protect them by applying experience, knowledge and unbridled advocacy has earned him considerable repeat and referral business, and a reputation as one of the City’s most successful and talented real estate agents.

With over two decades of experience, Tregg has built a reputation as one of the most successful and approachable agents in Los Angeles, driven by a passion for real estate and a simple philosophy: his clients’ interests always come first.

With this focus, he has developed a strong community of individuals and families who want to see their colleagues and neighbors benefit from his attention to detail, and the efficiency that routinely delivers exceptional results. He has built his practice primarily on referral business, with the same dedication to excellence, discretion, and client satisfaction that one expects from an attorney, doctor, or CPA. He counsels and guides his clients every step of the way, providing a clear understanding of the consequences and potential outcomes of any scenario. It’s a best-in-class experience, supported by a network that extends broadly within the Los Angeles business, healthcare, entertainment, and celebrity circles.

Tregg graduated Magna Cum Lauda from Walla Wall University in Washington where studies in marketing, business and communications provide an academic lens from which to view every real estate transaction. Recognized for his expertise and leadership, Tregg also assists in the training and education of newly licensed real estate agents and is frequently quoted as an industry expert in major media outlets, such as the Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal.

Married for more than 23 years to his wife Megan, an Endodontist and proud UCLA and USC alum with whom he has three daughters, Tregg is an avid surfer, dog lover, beekeeper, and weekend gardener. The Rustads currently reside in Santa Monica, where they are active in the local community and public school system, and together they have owned, built and remodeled a variety of local properties. These range from single family homes to duplexes, and a number of high-rise condominiums, empowering Tregg with a working, firsthand experience in all aspects of development and construction, which he extends to his clients on a daily basis.

A lifelong Angeleno, Sela grew up in the Pacific Palisades with her family and currently resides in Brentwood. Her admiration for real estate became evident as a child, as she eagerly spent many Sundays strolling through her neighborhood in search of open houses. But before starting her formal real estate career, Sela graduated with honors from Tulane University’s A.B. Freeman School of Business, where she studied both marketing and real estate. Now, with Maurice & Rustad, she applies her historic passion for homes and how people live in them, with an academic background and her real estate sales license experience, to her position as the lead marketing director for the team.

Sela crafts impactful campaigns that display a narrative, immersing potential buyers in the experience of exploring clients’ homes. She consistently highlights the most salient and dynamic features through print and digital media, using her clear and creative style to find the perfect lens for each listing. This approach not only fosters enthusiasm but also translates into in-person viewings, offers, and ultimately, successful property sales for clients.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Sela enjoys fashion, food, pilates, and spending time with her friends and family. When not working, she can often be found at the beach, accompanied by her two dogs, Frodrick and Smore. 

TED FLEMING

ASSOCIATE AGENT | DRE #01502327
[email protected] | (310) 623-8773

Ted is keenly aware of how challenging it can be for people to buy or sell a home. It’s a big step, a major commitment, and one of the most demanding experiences in life. Ted demonstrates patience, guidance, and the tireless pursuit of his clients’ best interests, and his dedication and hard work are evident throughout every transaction and beyond. Ted strives to build valuable long-term client relationships, not just successful transactions.

Ted attended Indiana University majoring in Political Science in the Pre-Law program. He moved to California shortly after graduation and took a job with a construction team focused on demolition and remodeling. The years Ted worked in this field gave him insight into the building of structures and the key components of successful investments. Ted also worked in a law firm where he contributed to the successful resolution of a high profile case involving construction and development fraud.

Armed with the knowledge he accrued in construction and law, Ted purchased a “fixer” in the hills of Studio City and income property in his home state of Indiana. Through these transactions it became clear to him that he wanted to be involved in Real Estate on a full time basis. This realization was the catalyst that brought Ted to Rodeo Realty.

Ted is amiable, energetic, and service oriented. Clients who work with Ted are afforded a patient consultant, backed by one of the top real estate teams in the country.
