Gary Schneider

Managing Partner, Kessler, Schneider & Scheltinga

As merger-mania sweeps business management, Schneider feels staying independent “leaves us an opportunity to differentiate ourselves from the larger conglomerates.” His firm handles actors, writers, directors, producers, executives, talent agencies and personal management companies. He believes that traditional boutiques — usually staffed with around 30 persons — offer personalized, hands-on service and a collegial environment.

Rentals Benefit: Powered by a TV production boom from streamers, Schneider sees “a heavy demand for housing, which provides a good opportunity to own rental real estate” in the Los Angeles’ production-hub neighborhoods. Rentals still enjoy tax benefits that were reduced elsewhere by federal tax reform.
