Modern. Massive but Family-Focused. Completely Private. Studio City Foothills.

$28,000,000
​- Over 1 acre of lush, landscaped grounds.
​- 7 beds / 11 baths / 10,800+ sq ft.
- Detached guest house + full wellness center.
​- Epic outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.

​One of a couple of "once-in-a-generation" trophy kinds of properties currently on the market in Studio City, this one feels miles away from the city while being right in the heart of it.

My favorite elements may be the return of the sunken conversation pit, along with the sculptural tub in the primary bath.

The Elite Falconry Experience

Living our best Highlands life, this was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, and definitely a highlight of the trip.

After driving to Fife about an hour outside of Edinburgh, we met up with the amazing crew from Elite Falconry. They’ve got over 70 birds on site, either rescued or born in captivity; falconry is highly regulated in the UK, and I’m pretty sure the folks at Elite liked birds more than people (though they treated us great!)

We got the chance to go out into the fields with working birds Gonzo (the Eurasian Eagle Owl) and Aisha (a Harris hawk.) They paced us as we walked, swooping in to land on our gloves when we called them or offered food. Once in a lifetime experience, can’t recommend it enough!

The transformation of Ventura Place has been incredible to watch, and the arrival of might be the coolest milestone yet.

​You can find them at:
📍 12103 Ventura Pl, Studio City, CA 91604

​Located just across from my office, this new outpost brings that iconic Venice and Larchmont energy right to the heart of the Valley. I stopped in for a quiet breakfast to beat the lunch rush, and as a fan of great architecture, the interior is a masterclass in organic design. From the natural edged stone to those semi-open wood timbered ceilings, every detail is a design lover’s dream.
​It’s been fascinating to see this block evolve from a once sleepy street into a high-energy corridor of boutiques and world-class dining.

With Great White now in the mix, it’s officially vying with Joan’s on Third for the title of the hottest lunch spot in town. It’s the perfect example of why this pocket of Studio City is becoming one of the most vibrant destinations in Los Angeles.

​Whether you’re stopping by for a morning coffee or a moodier dinner vibe, this is a must-visit.

Living in a work of art. ☁️

The Roxy Roth House (1946) is a rare R.M. Schindler original that proves intentional design never goes out of style. From the "secret" window in the primary suite to the massive picture window framing the Valley, every inch of this place was built to capture light and views.

The flow here is so unique—it’s the kind of architecture that makes you realize they really don’t make them like this anymore. If you’ve been looking for a home with some soul, this is it.

Mortgage Rates Just Hit a 3-Year Low 📉

If you missed the news late Friday, we just saw a significant shift in the market. The administration moved to buy back Mortgage-Backed Securities, and the impact was immediate—average rates dipped to roughly 6%.

As a strategic advisor, I have to be honest: this feels more like a short-term fix than a long-term solution. These rates may not stick around for long.

What this means for you:
If you’re buying: This might be the window you’ve been waiting for to lock in a rate.
If you have an ARM: Now is the time to look at refinancing before your rate resets.

If you want to see how these numbers impact a specific property, let’s talk.

Today marks one year since the start of the Palisades and Altadena fires. Looking back at this photo, I’ve been reflecting on just how quickly things can shift.

​We are all defined by how we react to these challenges and unexpected turns in the road—whether it’s a natural disaster, an unexpected hurdle in daily life, or even a major new chapter like a new job or a growing family.

​On this anniversary, my thoughts are with everyone who was affected. It’s a reminder that life is never a straight line. These experiences don’t destroy us; but how we react to them is what shapes us, making us stronger and more resilient than we were before.

​If you’re processing your own challenges right now, or just need a listening ear, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ve always got your back.

Termites in LA are kind of like sunshine and traffic — they’re everywhere ☀️🚗🐜

That’s why a termite inspection is always part of the escrow process.

DID YOU KNOW: you’re actually supposed to get your home inspected for termites every 3–5 years anyway.

It’s a relatively small cost that can save you a lot when it’s time to sell.
