JB Fung’s passion for real estate and dedication have propelled him into the position of the top 10 producers at Pacific Union International Sunset Strip while doing what he loves – helping people with one of the biggest financial decisions they will ever make: buying and selling a home.
Having harbored a personal interest in architecture, JB Fung left a coveted, longstanding career in the music industry to work at the architectural firm Hodgetts + Fung exploring development and real estate opportunities. The firm established by JB’s sister Ming Fung and husband Craig Hodgetts is responsible for such notable projects as the redesign of the Hollywood Bowl and the Wild Beast Pavilion (featured in the LA Times “Titans of Design” alongside John Lautner, Richard Neutra and Charles & Ray Eames). Hodgetts + Fung envisioned and implemented the “Blueprints for Modern Living: History and Legacy of the Case Study Houses” exhibition and “The Work of Charles and Ray Eames: A Legacy of Invention” exhibition, these two exhibitions documented the works of great architects and designers responsible for shaping California’s architectural history and helped redefine and reinvigorate the interest in modernism and modernist homes today.
While working at Hodgetts + Fung, JB discovered a new passion which combined his love for modernist architecture with his business background, he began his real estate career. In a serendipitous turn, the first significant property he sold was the Lappin House, the first home designed by Case Study architect Craig Ellwood. Recognizing this niche market, JB incorporated the sale of architectural properties into his real estate business, working with first time buyers and sellers and also clients interested architecturally significant and historic homes.
JB Fung’s 30 years of living in Los Angeles combined with his creative background in the music industry and the architectural field gives him an intimate understanding of Los Angeles living. He is gifted at sensing the unique needs of his buyers and connecting them with homes that naturally “fit”. “I sell emotion and lifestyle,” he explains enthusiastically. “Its goes far beyond just 3 bedrooms/2 baths – you have to understand what your client needs and find it!”
Sellers also appreciate JB Fung’s comprehensive yet creative approach to marketing, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to provide maximum exposure and prompt results. Adept at marketing, negotiating and making deals happen, JB has earned an increasingly loyal following of satisfied clients who turn to him for repeat business and continued real estate advice.
If you seek honest, knowledgeable and professional service for your real estate needs, whether it be selling or buying, contact JB Fung today. “It would be a privilege to represent you.”

We chose JB as our realtor to educate and assist us in territory that was unfamiliar to us – income properties. JB edited the field of property choices, understanding perfectly what elements needed to be in place before we would feel comfortable entertaining any thought of a purchase. He was PRESENT and ENGAGED at every stage of our search, selection and the purchase, providing germane input that impacted our decision-making process. His advice and business acumen were invaluable in MULTIPLE real estate purchases. JB Fung is our go-to Realtor.

JB Fung is a tremendous negotiator and protected our interest like a pit bull! Not only did JB Fung sell our home at our full asking price, he also put us in a fantastic home that we never thought we could afford. He listened to our thoughts and desires and found us a gorgeous 1925 Spanish duplex filled with old world details and in a great location. JB's interest in our needs did not end at the close of escrow, he stayed in touch, making sure we were completely satisfied and secured with our decision to buy our particular property leaving us worry free! He was always there for us. JB Fung will be our real estate agent for life!

JB Fung Sold our income property for Top Dollar!!! We chose JB as our realtor for a rental house we sold because we saw the result that he was able to achieve with selling another property a block away. He advised us what changes to make, and helped us through the entire process, which allowed us to sell for many thousands of dollars more than we ever imagined. JB Fung was very accessible, easy to communicate with, likeable and yet very professional and a savvy negotiator.

HE IS FANTASTIC! I really cannot praise JB Fung enough. Make him your first call if you are shopping for real estate agents in the LA area, especially if you're a first time home owner. He works 24/7 for you (literally). He is honest, hard-working, EXTREMELY knowledgeable about LA, and will truly go the extra mile for you. He made the process so much easier for me. Compared to the previous agents I had been working with, he really is the best. After working months & months with the others, I found a great place within two months with JB!
