About Marisol
Fourteen years, one specialty, and a stubborn belief that a landmark house deserves better than a generic listing.
The short version
I learned this town one carport and clerestory window at a time.
Before real estate I studied architectural history, and I never really left it behind. When I walk a buyer through a 1959 Alexander, I can tell them what's original, what's been ruined, and what's worth restoring, and that changes how people bid.
Sellers hire me because I don't hand a landmark home to a generic MLS listing. Every property gets its own photography, film, and story, built for the exact buyer who's been waiting for it.
I keep the list short on purpose. A handful of homes at a time is the only way to give each one the attention it needs, and it is the reason my sellers tend to see multiple offers in months when nobody else does.
How I work
Three things happen before a home of mine ever goes live
Read the house
Architect, year, what is original and what was added badly in 1998. That research sets the price and it becomes the story buyers repeat to each other.
Produce it properly
Architectural photography at the right hour, a short film, and drawings when they exist. Landmark homes sell on images that respect the design.
Go to the right buyers first
A working list of collectors, architects, and design-led agents in Los Angeles and the Bay Area gets the home before the portals do.
