About Will Flannigan
Trusted Advisor. Experienced Negotiator. Caring Fiduciary.
Will Flannigan is a Real Estate Agent with The Nell Team at Equity Union, serving buyers and sellers across Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, San Marino, Hollywood Hills, and greater Los Angeles.
His background sets him apart from most agents in the market. Before becoming a licensed agent, Will managed apartment buildings and personally flipped over a dozen homes — hands-on experience that gives him a fundamentally different perspective on property condition, value, and opportunity. He went on to serve as Sales Manager for two of the top-producing real estate teams in greater Los Angeles, where he was involved in hundreds of transactions across every type of deal, price range, and client situation. That foundation is what he brings to every client today.
Will is a former attorney, a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), and a Certified Trust & Probate Specialist (CTPS). His legal background gives him an edge in complex transactions — reading contracts, anticipating problems, and negotiating with precision. He speaks Mandarin and serves clients throughout the San Gabriel Valley and greater LA.
He has lived in the Burbank Rancho equestrian neighborhood for nearly 20 years. He knows which blocks get the best sun, which lots have trail access, which neighbors are quietly thinking about selling, and what buyers in this market are actually looking for. That knowledge doesn’t come from a data platform — it comes from living here.
Will works with buyers, sellers, investors, trustees, and executors across all transaction types. He specializes in competitive multiple-offer situations, complex negotiations, and trust and probate sales requiring legal fluency and careful family guidance.

Community
More Than an Agent. A Neighbor.
Will has lived in the Burbank Rancho for nearly 20 years — walking its streets with Bodhi, the family Golden Retriever, attending community meetings, and organizing events including an annual Thanksgiving Pie Giveaway, Holiday Raffle, and Valentine’s Chocolate Giveaway.
His wife is an award-winning producer, writer, and sought-after acting coach. Together they are deeply woven into the fabric of this neighborhood — not as transplants, but as people who genuinely chose the Rancho and never looked back.
