We are a little team with a lot of love for houses and the people they hold. We know all of the corners of Los Angeles and its unique architecture, design and possibility. We know Ojai and the desert and the mountains too. We understand the market and sales and the delicate nature of navigating the process of buying and selling a home. We’ve got this. Each house is a story. We want to know yours. 

TESTIMONIALS

From the moment the wild ride of selling out first home began, a home we’d lived in for 23 years and where we raised our child, Elisa Crispi has been our rock — and something both necessary and softer: A Guide. We cannot possibly overstate our confidence in her. Early on, we let go of our first agent, as they resembled more shark than human. When we started working with Elisa, calm and breezy, we wondered whether she’d have the necessary ‘fight’ in her. Happily, these were wasted concerns: When teeth were required — only a couple times — those teeth appeared! Tough and tender, fair and fierce, she’s the Willy Nelson of Realtors.

Elisa is a rockstar agent and we would give her more than 5 stars if possible! We moved from the east coast, and Elisa made the buying process very smooth when we couldn't see places in person - doing facing showings, sending videos, she went above and beyond. Elisa knows every nook and cranny of LA and had an intuitive sense of our preferences and needs. The transaction for the house we bought resulted in a long escrow, and Elisa worked tirelessly to negotiate repairs and resolve disputes. Elisa is a delight to work with and I very strongly recommend using her as an agent.

Elisa was amazing to work with. As a first time home buyer, she was so helpful, and really made this experience not only pleasurable but memorable. Always available and provided her expertise and guidance throughout. Can't thank her enough!

- Chloe Benhamou

Elisa went above and beyond. She counseled us through buying our first house and was skilled at negotiating with the seller’s agent. Our first offer was accepted and we really credit her expertise with how smoothly the entire process was.

Elisa is a human diamond. Her leadership, dedication, steadfastness, depth, acumen and humanity are unparalleled in this industry. I can say this, because we worked with several brokers/realtors before Elisa, who essentially made me want to quit humanity. It is Elisa who is the reason I am now writing these words from our dream home. She is intuitive, intelligent, ferociously solution-oriented and indefatigable. She was our advocate, our guardian and our strategist all the way to the finish line. I wish for the sake of our world she was president of the planet— but I will happily settle for her to be the supreme queen of the real estate market on the Westside. It is no understatement to say her existence and ethos absolutely elevates the entire real estate industry because she sets the bar and I hope her entire field takes note of how she embodies power, serves her clients in the sacred task of finding a home and still kicks all the a** up and down the street and then back again. This is how it is done folks. May you be lucky enough to work with her because she, and her awesome team, lift up everything they touch— while also slam dunking on it, and therefore are the only ones we will work with for any and all of our property needs future forward. I can never say enough about Elisa.

Elisa was amazing to work with. She was beyond patient and fought hard for us to get exactly what we wanted. Questions were answered quickly and she was always there to offer advice and support, especially when things were frustrating or deflating (LA real estate is brutal). We would highly recommend her as an agent!

There are realtors who make you feel like you are ignorant for asking questions. There are realtors who are slick and pushy and boastful. There are realtors who are too busy and too self absorbed. And then there's Elisa. Don't get me wrong, Elisa will close the deal as well as any big time Hollywood agent and she will nail all the ask. You just don't feel the stress of her being either too pushy or too uninvolved. She found us an amazing house in the exact location we wanted in record time and she found a renter for us at a spectacular price. We can't say enough great things from this incredible teacher turned realtor.

- Nicole Wenneker

Elisa is one of the loveliest people I have ever met. She always made herself available to me and made the potentially stressful process of finding a new home easier. She was receptive to my needs and looked at properties critically according to those needs. She was committed and on top of it. Elisa was handholding throughout the process and always acted on my behalf. Her patience and energy are outstanding. I truly cannot recommend Elisa enough and am so grateful to have met her.

- Jenny Kwit

Leased 2 properties swiftly and efficiently, always clean and by the book, and has been a source of incredible advice and advocacy when ironing out initial and subsequent tenant issues. And then when buying our new home - a complicated and stressful deal - she was a lioness, a solid and effective buffer between us and the seller (and again continues to be, when dealing with some significant post-purchase problems...) I can’t state enough, she is a realtor that doesn’t just do the deal, do the least work possible, get the commission and vanish. She is a thoughtful and committed partner, with a comical amount of stamina, in what can be an exhausting and stressful process. Have her be on your side, buy sell or lease, you won’t regret it !

Elisa helped my husband and I purchase our home and I can't recommend her highly enough. We bought our house on a bit of a lark – it was a teardown property on a once-in-a-decade-or-two large corner lot in Venice. We were unsure whether we had the stamina for a two-year project and escrow was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for us as a result. Elisa could not have been more supportive. She never pushed us to buy the house. In fact, she was always ready to help us pull out if we wanted to. She showed us houses all around west LA prior to our inspection contingency lifting to help us get comfortable with our decision. She hooked us up with contractors and designers to talk to about the home building process. She hooked us up with other clients who were debating major remodels to compare notes. She made the whole thing feel a lot less scary, and we're so happy we decided to move forward. I highly recommend Elisa.

- Sara Pollack Darsky

Elisa's a real pro. I had some rather specific requirements that were hard to find, and she just kept digging up amazing properties for me to look at including quite a few that were off-market, which was really impressive. Once we found the place and got an offer accepted, she was on every problem before it became a problem. Highly recommended.

- Erich Hoeber

Elisa is amazing! She made my home purchase way easier than anticipated. Buying a house can be so stressful and intimidating, but I felt completely confident that Elisa would take care of me. She stayed on top of every part of process (and there were some bumps!) but she put me at ease with her eagle eye for detail and her calm demeanor. She will forever be my agent!

- Celeste Baker

We worked with Elisa on a recent purchase and also the rental of our old property. She was a pleasure to work with on these projects. Her insight into the market and her advice were invaluable. She always did what she said she was going to do when she said she was going to do it and always with a smile. She kept the process moving along and was always available when we needed her. We will definitely use her again in the future.

Elisa helped us through a rough time, when we had to quickly find a place to live. Not only did she show us homes, but also helped us through the emotional and stressful part of it all.

- Moet

You're not going to find a more thoughtful, personal and patient broker out there. She takes time to really understand what you're looking for, and help you find it. And, she keeps you from feeling discouraged all the way from search to signing. It's a tough housing market. She makes it easier.

- Kenny Thelian

Elisa is the realtor you want working for you. She is persistent and charming. Discerning and conscientious. Meticulous, honest, patient and kind. I bought the first house of many to come with this little power house. She doesn’t stop until you’re happy.

By the time we walked into our new home, Andrew felt like a family member. If you’re reading this, you know how intense navigation of the LA real estate market can be. Andrew’s disposition is perfect for his profession. He’s calm, fast-moving and fast- thinking - and he found us precisely (!) what we were looking for.

- Steve Okin

Andrew was fantastic to work with during our buying experience! He really took the time to understand what we were looking for, sitting with us multiple times to work through our list of requirements. He was exhaustive in his search for possible properties, and served as a valuable sounding board as we evaluated each. He then guided us through the twists and turns of the purchase and closing processes with a knowledgeable calmness.
