With this diverse background, Liz offers her clients a unique perspective, drawing from her experience working with developers, investors, first-time homebuyers, and sophisticated sellers alike. Today, she focuses on the luxury market, representing both buyers and sellers in high-end neighborhoods such as Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Hancock Park, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and Encino.

In addition to real estate sales, Liz has also developed and sold custom homes in coveted areas like Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Hancock Park. Her clients appreciate her deep understanding of the market and her ability to navigate complex transactions with ease. Many of her clients return for future transactions or refer her to others, a testament to the trust and respect she has earned.

Outside of her professional work, Liz is deeply committed to giving back to her community.
