The Loved House, 1801 N. Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, CA (2026)

04/03/2026

3991 Prospect Avenue is a thoughtfully designed 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offering the kind of livability that is hard to find in the Los Feliz Hills. The soaring roofline and clerestory windows flood the living area with natural light and give a distinct mid-century Palm Springs vibe. The floor to ceiling windows and patio sliders create the quintessential California indoor/outdoor flow, and the large back patio provides all the opportunities for entertaining. When you need a private moment, steal away up the steps to the treetop dining platform where you can relax and take in the sweeping views of the surrounding hills.

Breaking Records Serving Clients: I don't typically tout my accomplishments because I value the relationships I have with my clients more than the money I make. However, one of my dear clients was keen to point out that she was very happy with the amount of money I helped HER make on her sale, and her sale broke the record for her neighborhood... wait, what? woah.

When I accept a listing it's because I believe in the property, I want to help my client get the very best, and because I feel like my marketing methods will be successful for them. Her comment got me thinking, digging, and researching (as I often do because I'm a nerd), and I discovered something; I actually broke 4 records this year (with some very happy clients to show for it)! They were not all easy, but they were worth it.

My Promise to you:
When I take a listing, or sign a buyer, I become their champion. That is not done blindly- there are many conversations along the way, and many of my clients will recall their "Come to Johnson" moment, where they realized their expectations were not realistic, or they had to release a little control, or look at their "money issues", or simply take a leap of faith. I'm not afraid to have those conversations (I actually love them). As a result, my clients are well educated, empowered, and realistic. All that leads to less heartache and wasted time (aka SUCCESS). So, to everyone who made the leap with me last year, thank you all for your trust and support. Now go tell all your friends ;-) And to anyone (from the $675K first time buyer to the $3.5M seller), thinking of dipping a toe into these choppy waters, I'm here when you are ready.

Here's to more great things yet to come.

Record-Breaking Sales:
1032 W. Edgeware Rd: Sold for the highest price in the neighborhood EVER.
4601 Clarissa Ave: Sold for the highest price per square foot in the area since 2023
1645 Vine Penthouse 1010: Highest price per square foot this year and one of the only condos to actually sell (its a particularly difficult building to sell in because the HOA's are $2,300/mo).
1445 Calumet: Sold for the highest price per square foot of any income property in the area since 2020. Also a difficult sale because it was 7 units (commercial loan) and individual bungalows (7 roofs, 7 sewers... etc).

Remembering the wise voices from our past. There is greatness in everyone. It is visible to anyone who is looking for it.

I lived in NYC for 10 years before moving to LA and it's always been a dream to move back. I picture myself as one of those little old ladies, crushing my dontgiveaf**k outfits, hitting all the art openings, and power walking (yes, with poles) through Central Park.

The Solarium Penthouse: Formerly the gymnasium of a school, it has dramatic architecture but is also easy to live in. The Great Room (which in this case is actually an accurate name) has a 19-foot arched ceiling with a full glass wall opening to a terrace big enough for an outdoor dinner party. While I don't expect to be able to afford this one, it's fun to dream. And if you'd like to make it yours, you'll certainly put me closer to my retirement goals! Remember, I am here for all your real estate needs, worldwide. DM for details.

One year ago today I held my first open house for this beautiful home. Also one year ago the devastating fires broke out in the Palisades and then Altadena, forever changing the landscape of Los Angeles. The sun glowed eerily behind an orangey/red haze. Ash fell everywhere, leaving a thin blanket of soot on everything- and literally everything smelled of smoke.

I look back now and wonder, how did we (as a society) navigate that? Helpers helped, opportunists did their opportunity thing, some people packed up to their second homes and some lost everything they had (and all hope of getting anything back). For the second time in less than a decade, the "haves" and "have nots" were brought into acute focus.

And the phone still rang. Despite all that was happening, people still needed to move. Surprisingly, none of the callers were displaced people- they were all still in shock, weighing their options, or just tying to find shelter for the night- the callers were people. And I was reminded (again) that no matter what is going on in the world, people still fall in and out of love, begin and end lives, get hired and get fired. Life goes on.

I did my best to navigate this with grace- it was not too hard since all the parties are exceptionally amazing people- and this home sale became the first of 4 record breaking sales I had in 2025.

To all the people honoring their unspeakable losses this week, my wish for you is this: May you find exactly what you are looking for, may possibility re-enter your life, and may you find peace and joy in your future. Be well.

A nice week for home loan rates. They trickled down to the 5.975% - 6.35% range. This sets up my savvy buyers for some great deals in November and December.

Quick mortgage rate update from Parisi:
The odds of a Federal Reserve rate cut in October 2025 are extremely high, with the CME Fed Watch tool showing a 98-99% probability of a 0.25% cut by the October 29th meeting.

As I have mentioned before, although the Federal Reserve does not directly affect home loan rates, the two have historically trended similarly. And, as I also mentioned before, home loan rates are forward looking…and thus the drop in home rates this week.

DM for more.

Person: Why do I need a buyer's agent? I can find a house myself.

Me: Yes, anyone can locate a home online, and often do. The value a buyer's agent provides is everything that comes after: guidance, advice, and advocacy on successfully purchasing the home for the right price, with the right terms, and in line with your goals.

Buying a home is often the largest financial investment a person will ever make. It’s emotional, complex, and full of decisions that can have long-term consequences.

Here’s what I do for my clients:
I use my 15 years of experience to guide clients on everything: financing, pricing, timing, inspections, and negotiating. I'm here to answer questions, strategize, and help you make informed decisions based on your goals.

From start to finish, I'm your champion.

Even after the keys are in your hand, I'm here to help with vendors, repairs, and anything else that comes up down the road. Hire me once, you have me for life. Don't think of me as a Realtor, think of me as your real estate coach. I know the system, am a master at the process, and protect your interests every step of the way.

Real estate transactions are much more complicated than just finding the house you like. Message me if you’re thinking about buying or just want to understand your options. I’m here to help.

✨ Just helped a friend find the perfect agent for her mom's charming condo outside of D.C.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping people. That includes helping friends and clients sell their family homes, no matter where they are in the country. With the power of the Sotheby’s International Realty global network, I personally vet and match them with top-tier agents who align with their goals and values. I don’t just send 1 name, I offer 3 carefully selected options because I believe in choices, trust, and the perfect fit.

In times of uncertainty, fear, and volatility, I feel it is essential to hire the very best help and expert advice you can. But don't just take my word for it, listen to Brooke. She's very smart and has excellent taste (both in design and Realtors ;-)

"Emily was worth every penny! She recently sold my Victorian in Angelino Heights and was no doubt the best choice for the job. I interviewed several other agents and Emily hands down knew the neighborhood and value much better than the other options. She was super hands-on with the showings, which I feel is a rarity with agents today looking to pass off the important work of interacting with the buyers to a less experienced showing agent. Emily also made sure that the house was looking perfect from start to finish and was a guide in what work needed to be done to get top dollar, which I very much feel she achieved. I actually sold another LA property prior to meeting Emily and have thought on many occasions that I wish I had met her earlier, as she would have done a better job than the agent who sold it. I would hire her again and again!"

At your service,
Emily
