Starting each day with a walk and meditation is the key to success for Aman Lal.
“My biggest challenge is in the mirror. The more I can get out of my own way, the better off I do,” Lal said.
And, it’s working.
Lal was an entrepreneur in college and owned a painting company until he met some developers who encouraged him to transition to the development side of the business. Now the CEO and founder of Elephant Partners, a land brokerage firm, Lal has closed in excess of $1 billion in transactions throughout Nevada and California. His firm represents the largest home builders in Las Vegas and Los Angeles County, along with institutional investors and family offices.
With a goal to sell $100 million of land to help raise money for St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, Lal is deeply invested in the community.
“Helping others is one of the greatest feelings I have experienced. I am grateful to have that opportunity,” Lal said.
Lal is also involved with Junior Achievement and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada, with whom he has been a “big brother” for seven years. He believes in leading by example and encourages his team to attend professional networking opportunities and volunteer with philanthropic initiatives. “Learning how to empower people has been a big part of my personal growth,” Lal said.
Lal is a member of the National Community Council for the Urban Land Institute, a past chair of the Young Leaders Group with Urban Land Institute and a volunteer with the Building Industry Association Orange County. He was chosen Top 40 Under 40 by Real Estate Southern California magazine and tapped by OC Metro for his business success and commitment to charitable organizations like Village of Hope and Orange County Rescue Mission.
