About Us

Like many people, for a long time I wondered what I wanted to be when I grew 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 me to Comic-Con and landed my byline in “The New York Times.” Other times, they were less fun, like those dreary 12 years I spent working in financial compliance.

It seems obvious to me now that real estate was my true calling and my biggest regret will be that I didn’t switch careers sooner. I also regret not becoming a homeowner sooner, as I truly believe homeownership is the best path toward financial security. When I did finally buy my little fixer in 2008, a foreclosure in Highland Park, I 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 I didn’t understand being thrown at me daily and the creeping suspicion that everyone involved was only interested in making money off me, my agent included. While lousy at the time, that experience helped shape my philosophy about the kind of real estate agent I promise my clients I 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 I make 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. I promise 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!), I know Los Angeles well and work all over the city, having lived in various neighborhoods over my 45+ years as an explorer and student of our beautiful city. I’m happy to answer any of your questions while addressing all of your real estate needs.

If this resonates with you and it feels right to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help.

Born and raised in the heart of Los Angeles, I was personally familiar with all the major neighborhoods of Southern California – from Malibu to Pasadena. My passion for real estate started at a young age with an admiration and love of mid-century, craftsman and Spanish architecture, landscaping and design.

After studying design for a few years, I went on to earn my bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing when I lived abroad in Costa Rica managing my family’s wildlife refuge, Cerro Dantas, for 10 years. There, I perfected my Spanish and developed a solid network in Costa Rican real estate, conservation and tourism.

I have served as a manager and consultant for various types of businesses, nonprofits and startups, specializing in sales, negotiations and operations management. My move into real estate follows my wife’s decision to become a licensed Realtor in 2017 under the House Hunter L.A. brand. Together, we combine our experience in sales, marketing and compliance to give our clients exceptional service.

My focus is in detail and quality. I am meticulous and careful, treating my clients’ money as if it were my own. I am a dedicated and trustworthy Realtor, intent on offering my clients a home sale experience that is fun and transparent. In my time off, I am a devoted father and husband, striving to fill my family’s life with adventure, travel and laughter.

					Milla was very patient while we explored a large area, and helped us narrow down what neighborhoods to search. Her knowledge of the unique vibe of each neighborhood was extremely helpful, being new to CA. Then once we made an offer, she had great recommendations for which inspectors to use and what questions to ask. I’d recommend her to anyone!

					We worked with Milla when we were looking to buy a condo property in Pasadena, ultimately closing on a condo in May 2026.     I appreciated her rich knowledge of the real estate market in Pasadena and her no-nonsense approach to buying in current market conditions, along with frank assessments of our options which guided us to making a decision which fit our needs.   She was professional and easy to work with, too.   I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell in Pasadena.     As a bonus, she gave us a list of construction/renovation and home maintenance specialists which has proved very valuable to us as we consider making upgrades to our new property.

					Milla was fantastic, and that is a bit of an understatement. Finding a home with a realtor is a team effort, and we feel fortunate to have had Milla on our side. It is all too easy to find yourself thinking “Why do I need a realtor, they just send me the same listings I’ve found online”. We thought the same, for a time. What we quickly realized, in the first few days with Milla, is how much we didn’t know. How much nuance there is in looking for and assessing a property that only experience can provide. How the relationships with financial agencies, vendors, inspectors, and other realtors not only help one  better navigate the search, but continue on after your closing. Milla has the experience and relationships in spades.Our experience was positive from start to finish, so much so that we were already recommending her to friends and family before we closed on our home. Without a doubt when we next purchase, or sell a home, Milla will be our first call!

Whether it was arranging showings, managing paperwork, or anticipating potential challenges, Milla handled everything with confidence, efficiency, and care.I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

					Milla was fantastic!  I listed and sold a condo from outside the country with Milla and she relentlessly answered all of my questions, talked me through every stage of the sale and was always there for me.  She got it done in a timely and efficient manner.  I would highly recommend Milla….don’t walk…run to her!

					Milla was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was patient as we looked for a home for over a year. She showed up for open houses when we were not able to attend and took video for us. She guided us through the whole process and advocated on our behalf in negotiations.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Los Angeles area!

					Selling my property from 3,000 miles away meant that Milla was my boots on the ground. She really hustled in a challenging market, constantly keeping me in the loop about how things were going and was a skilled negotiator on my behalf when it came to closing the deal. If you are looking for a highly-skilled real estate agent in Southern California who goes the extra mile, I highly recommend her.

					Milla was the Seller’s agent on the townhome that we recently purchased in Del Rey. My wife and I got very comfortable in using her as a buy-side agent as well. She was great to work with and drove a smooth and a favorable outcome for both parties. Would highly recommend her as an agent in LA.

					Our exceptional realtor, Milla, helped us sell our vertical home and find our forever home in just five months. Milla’s negotiation skills, and ability to establish rapport with various parties made our journey a pleasure. She took the time to understand our needs and goals, shaping effective strategies, and advocating for us at every step.    In the process of selling our vertical home, Milla was a marketing pro, highlighting unique features and attracting potential buyers. Thanks to her efforts, we secured a deal within 3 weeks. As we searched for our forever home, Milla exceeded our expectations, ensuring all our questions and concerns were promptly addressed. Her knowledge of the market and her dedication helped us find a home that checked off all our boxes.    Milla’s availability, adept communication, and ability to establish rapport with all parties involved made her an invaluable asset throughout our real estate journey. We felt supported and cared for by Milla, and she made us feel calm in the emotional roller coaster that is finding a home in Los Angeles. We are immensely grateful for her guidance and support and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional.    Even though we found our forever home, we joke about buying another property to be able to hang out with Milla again.  – J&D

					Milla made the buying process easier than I expected. As a first time buyer, I had a lot to learn but Milla was great about educating me on the process and preparing me for different outcomes. She worked with me for almost a year until I found the perfect home. I felt like I always had someone in my corner looking out for me. I would highly recommend Milla, her expertise and dedication always made me feel in great hands. I highly recommend her.

					Milla was always responsive, she was helpful and supportive of our needs and requests.  She met us at the houses we wanted to see, she asked the right questions and looked out for our best interest.  It is hard to find real estate agents that actually care and work hard to help you find a home, but Milla is that person.  I highly recommend Milla, she helped me find the right home, where I wanted and negotiated the best price for me.

					Recently we were considering moving to a larger home because of a new addition to our family, and initially met with Milla through a family referral. She came highly recommended, which was good because we wanted to work with someone who could move quickly if needed and would do a thorough job from start to finish. We were on the fence because of rising interest rates, but felt we should at least hear her out. We were not disappointed. Milla brought comps and pricing information for our first meeting and an honest take on what our journey might look like in such a dynamic real estate market. We took a few days to make a decision, but as soon as we were set she was ready with tips to sell our current home, a professional photographer who also did a video and 360 walkthrough, and great insights on the new homes we were considering for our new space.We were able to sell our house in one weekend (!) and Milla coordinated a longer close so we would have time to secure our new house. She always walked us through the many, many different types of paperwork we had to sign so we knew what we were agreeing to and where we might need to push back. We definitely learned more in this sale than with previous houses and leaned on Milla for her extensive knowledge of the process since this was our first experience with a house that was not a new construction. Overall, I can confidently say that Milla was an excellent partner and a skillful guide throughout the whole process. She easily and efficiently guided us through two successful home transactions (selling our old place and buying a new one) and answered all of our questions along the way. If you’re looking for someone to work with, we highly recommend her.

					We were so fortunate to have Milla as our realtor. Not only did she help walk us through the competitive L.A. housing marketing landscape with a wealth of knowledge and patience, she was reliable, responsive and went above and beyond in everything she did. I loved her positive attitude and especially appreciated how thoughtful and well-researched she is. We highly valued her opinion and experience, and are in love with our new home. I would highly recommend Milla to anyone looking for a realtor!
