SOLD This may sound strange (and we do wax poetic on occasion) but sometimes a house feels like a person and sometimes a person feels like a particular house. Do you feel me? In this case both seem to be true. Our delightful client and this sweet NELA aerie were a match from the get go. Magic meets Magic. Perfect symbiosis. Meant to be. . . Purchased prior to public open houses, we were able to work with our client to craft an offer that was compelling enough to the sellers to accept early in the listing period. . . Many thanks and appreciation to @nonajames and Becky Koppenhaver for their professionalism and collaboration. This one felt right all around. ;-)

SOLD This gem of a midcentury in Sherman Oaks caused quite the commotion. Ultimately....after careful marketing, a week on the market and a handful of open houses, the sellers received 25 offers! . . The owners had hoped that their beloved childhood home would remain intact and loved as it is - and not torn down in favor of larger, new construction. As luck would have it, the house landed in the hands of wonderful owner/users who love and appreciate the integrity, style and charm that is so clearly evident in every nook and cranny. They plan to move right in and call it home. A wonderful outcome for all involved. Thanks to @stevetipp for bringing the perfect buyers and being a joy to work with. Asking price: $1,349,000 Sale Price: $1,600,000

Coming soon: a standalone artist's studio in Frogtown, the light industrial pocket of Elysian Valley wedged between the LA River and the hills of Elysian Park. The listing says walkable to Frogtown's best amenities; the county map says it plainer, this is Frogtown proper, a one-story light manufacturing building from 1987 on a parcel assembled from four lots. Inside, an open main floor runs under high wood ceilings and skylights, four flexible offices split between the ground floor and a mezzanine, grade-level loading through a roll-up door, and a gated yard that parks about eight cars, no small thing on these blocks. The neighborhood took its name from the western toads that once swarmed up from the river, and buildings like this one are why artists have been settling here since the mid-1980s. Zoned for makers, a short walk from the river path. Comment FROGTOWN and we'll DM you the full listing, or visit the link in our bio. 🗝️: @hombasela, @canyonhaus, @normal_properties @compass 📷: @cody.boone 2860 Glenview Avenue, Elysian Valley

Here’s the thing: You’re probably seeing this on every single Agent’s feed. It kind of seems like a bunch of silly self-important advertising. The truth is, Our business is not really about us. It’s about our clients and it’s about helping people with some of the biggest Transactions and transitions in their lives. We are honored to do so. We don’t really care much about where we rank relative to other agents. AND It’s nice to be recognized for hard work - because we work our butts off. So there you have it. Giving ourselves a a little pat on the back…we’re owning it! Now back to business…

SOLD 1920’s gem in prime Los Feliz Congratulations to our lovely buyer, who we believe scored one of the sweetest vintage homes we have seen in a while. It’s unusual to find a house like this, relatively untouched by modern hands. The buyer plans on bringing this treasure back to life in a sensitive and thoughtful way, honoring it’s original purpose, feeling and design. We were able to get her a nice credit at closing, to address some systemic issues, and then she can get to the fun part- shining her up and moving on in!
