Milla Goldenberg founder of House Hunter L.A. Like many people, for a long time Milla wondered what do I want to be when I grow up. And like many more, I got it wrong with several different jobs before finally getting it right with real estate. The detours were often fun and interesting, including stints as a journalist for NPR, GEEK magazine and various entertainment publications, which took her
to Comic-Con and landed my byline in "The New York Times." Other times, they were less fun, like those dreary 12 years she spent working in financial compliance. It seems obvious to me now that real estate was her true calling and her biggest regret will be that she didn’t switch careers sooner. She also regrets not becoming a homeowner sooner, as she truly believes homeownership is the best path toward financial security. When she did finally buy her little fixer in 2008, a foreclosure in Highland Park, she was a single woman with limited means up against a big bank that refused to negotiate. The entire experience was stressful and isolating, with tons of jargon she didn’t understand being thrown at her daily and the creeping suspicion that everyone involved was only interested in making money off her, her agent included. While lousy at the time, that experience helped shape her philosophy about the kind of real estate agent she promises her clients she will be: one who is patient, not pushy, puts their interests above everything else, is committed to excellence, and believes in total transparency. It’s the promise she makes to you as well, whether you’re looking to purchase your first home (and uneasy about the implications) or ready to sell and trade up. she promises to stay by your side every step of the way and do everything I can to ensure a stress-free experience. And as a native Angeleno (who attended both UCLA and USC -- go, Brojans!), she knows Los Angeles well, particularly Northeast LA, and not just the neighborhoods, but the restaurants, coffee shops, art walk and community events as well. She's happy to answer any questions about them while addressing all of your real estate needs. Call us today to get started.
