About This Directory

How these agents were selected

Agents and teams on this page were chosen from the names most often recommended for Santa Monica home buyers and sellers, then checked for current licensing, brokerage, recent Santa Monica activity, local experience and recognition from third-party sources such as RealTrends and the Los Angeles Business Journal. Experience, specialties and background come from each agent's own website or brokerage profile. We recommend interviewing two or three agents, asking for recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, and checking each agent's license with the California Department of Real Estate before you sign.

What is the difference between a listing agent and a buyer's agent?

A listing agent represents the seller, handling pricing, marketing and negotiation. A buyer's agent represents the buyer in finding a home, making offers and closing.
