Boutique Los Angeles Real Estate

A different approach to real estate.

A boutique brokerage in West Adams, ten years in, residential and commercial. Design-led tools and calculators show you what's possible before you commit. An agent who knows your block walks you the rest of the way.

From Claire

A different approach, on purpose.

Unlike so many people in real estate, I came to this field through a passion for architecture and design. Over a twenty-year career I discovered that passion is only superseded by my love for working with people. My clients are more than buyers and sellers, and my agents are more than numbers on the bottom line. We are part of a collective, building a city we're all proud of.

I started Real Estate Collective in West Adams with two goals: to break with the tired cliche of the smarmy, pushy, ostentatious LA brokerage, and to build something beautiful. We operate out of warmth, honesty, and integrity, and that reputation matters more to me than any number in a ledger. We love Los Angeles, and if we can leave it a little better than we found it, that is something our whole collective can be proud of.

For agents

A brokerage that hands you a lead engine

Most brokerages give you a desk and a split. The Collective gives you a design-led brand, client tools no portal can match, leads you actually own through your own links, and a culture where the agents who figure something out teach the rest. Keep more relationships, buy fewer cold leads.

"A small firm that behaves like a big one where it counts, and like a neighbor everywhere else."
