"We're very, very fond of Steve and we wish him the best, Hyland told TRD on Tuesday. He was a wonderful presence. Katz did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Hyland said Katz officially left the brokerage about a month ago. State Department of Real Estate records show a Jan. 30 end to his time as broker associate with the company and no move of his license to a new firm."
"Katz joined Hilton & Hyland in December 2024 during a time of transition within its executive ranks. About a week before Katz was announced as the brokerage's new managing director, Hilton & Hyland saw former President David Kramer, along with his six-person team, decamp to Compass' Beverly Hills office. Kramer's group, with $1.7 billion in career sales, left to focus on sales."
"Meanwhile, the brokerage has continued to see agent departures. Hyland confirmed the firm's headcount currently sits at around 25, which is a significant cut from the over 100 agents and staff that made up the roster in 2018 when the company moved into its now former office at 257 North Canon Drive in Beverly Hills."
Hilton & Hyland appointed Felix Pena as broker manager; Pena has worked at the firm for over 20 years and is a non-practicing attorney. Steve Katz quietly exited the brokerage about a month ago, with state records showing his broker associate status ended Jan. 30 and no license move to a new firm. Katz had joined in December 2024 during executive transitions that included former President David Kramer and his six-person team leaving for Compass. Kramer’s group had $1.7 billion in career sales. The firm previously planned Katz to work with Hyland and former General Counsel Chrystal Ferber as a management trio; Ferber left last April. Hilton & Hyland’s headcount now sits around 25, a substantial decline from over 100 agents and staff in 2018 when the company moved into its former Canon Drive office.
