Born and raised in Los Angeles, Steve has been an active part of the Los Angeles community for over forty years.

ds, Duke and Ella.

SOLD | Off-Market | Represented the Buyer & Seller

Every off-market transaction has a different story.

The sellers were looking for a private and efficient sale, while the buyer was seeking a property that aligned with a specific vision for the future.

Through local relationships and direct communication, we were able to bring both parties together and successfully complete the transaction before the property ever reached the public market.

1727 Ruhland Avenue | Manhattan Beach
3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,474 SF
$2,400,000

Off-market opportunities often happen long before a property appears online, which is why relationships, local knowledge, and timing matter.

What are buyers really looking for right now?

While location remains important, many buyers are also paying close attention to how a home functions day to day, from flexible living spaces to privacy, lifestyle, and long-term value.

I recently put together a short article on several of the factors sophisticated buyers continue to prioritize throughout the South Bay.

Many buyers today are looking beyond finishes and staging and thinking more carefully about long-term value.

In the South Bay, factors like walkability, location quality, beach proximity, and limited inventory continue to shape long-term demand and influence how buyers evaluate opportunities.

Strong real estate decisions are rarely just about today’s market. They’re about positioning, holding power, and understanding what may matter years from now.

I recently shared some perspective on this in my latest blog article discussing how buyers are evaluating beach properties through a longer-term investment lens.

JUST SOLD | Off-Market | Represented the Buyer

2014 The Strand sold off-market for $9,250,000.

Properties in this location rarely trade privately, and this opportunity came together through trusted relationships, thoughtful positioning, and a highly targeted off-market search.

For many buyers along the Strand, the decision is about more than just a home. Lifestyle, location, long-term value, and scarcity all tend to intersect in a very unique way in these tightly held beach communities.

With limited inventory available publicly, identifying the right opportunity often requires direct outreach, local relationships, and patience long before a property officially comes to market.

Grateful to my clients for the trust throughout the process and appreciative of the relationships that helped make this opportunity possible.

Opportunities like this often begin with conversations well before a property ever comes to market.

Hermosa Strand property currently in escrow.

A look at the view from this home - one of the reasons opportunities like this are so compelling when they come into focus.

With limited inventory on the Strand, it takes a thoughtful, targeted approach to identify something that truly aligns.

Looking forward to a smooth closing for my clients.

Grateful to be recognized as a Top Producer for March at Vista Sotheby’s International Realty.

Real estate decisions are often some of the most meaningful financial decisions my clients make, and I don’t take the trust they place in me lightly.

I’m also grateful for the relationships with colleagues and advisors—and for the clients who continue to trust me with these decisions.
