Elizabeth Sorgen | Santa Monica Real Estate Broker
Local Knowledge. Broad Experience. Personal Commitment.
I’m Elizabeth Sorgen, a California real estate broker with more than 20 years of experience and three decades as a Santa Monica resident. I help homeowners make thoughtful decisions about preparing, pricing, and selling their properties.
My local focus includes luxury homes North of Montana, condominiums in Wilshire-Montana and along Ocean Avenue, and properties throughout the Los Angeles Westside, including Pacific Palisades and Brentwood.
My experience spans residential sales, new construction, investment properties, corporate real estate, REO, and complex transactions. That breadth brings perspective to each listing—from recognizing a property’s strengths to anticipating challenges and negotiating effectively.
You work directly with me. I combine a bespoke selling strategy with clear communication, meticulous coordination, and discreet, personal service tailored to your priorities.
Whether you’re planning a move, downsizing, or selling an inherited property, we begin with a confidential conversation about your goals, timing, and options.
Why Sellers Choose Elizabeth
Experience That Looks Beyond the Asking Price
The strength of a sale lies in the details: the buyer’s qualifications, financing, contingencies, timing, and what you ultimately take away.
I help Santa Monica and Westside homeowners weigh the full offer and negotiate with their next chapter in mind.
• Pricing informed by neighborhood sales and competing listings
• Marketing that highlights your home’s distinctive appeal
• Careful evaluation of offers and buyer readiness
• Negotiation focused on proceeds, terms, and timing
• Direct access to your broker through closing
Your Priorities Set the Plan
Before recommending a price or a launch date, I listen. What matters most to you? What needs to happen next? Where do you have flexibility?
Those answers shape our decisions—from how much preparation makes sense to how we handle showings, evaluate offers, and coordinate your move.
You can expect candid advice, explained tradeoffs, and timely updates. When circumstances change, I help you understand your options and adjust the plan.
Your home carries both financial and personal significance. I bring respect for both, along with the practical judgment to keep your sale moving forward.
Small Details. A Stronger Selling Experience.
The Neighborhood Advantage
A quiet block, afternoon light, a favorite café around the corner—the appeal of a home extends beyond its square footage. Three decades in Santa Monica help me recognize the details buyers value, from North of Montana to Ocean Park and across the Westside. We give buyers a reason to picture their life here.
A Launch Worth Waiting For
Before your listing goes live, we bring the pieces together: thoughtful styling, professional photography, compelling property copy, and coordinated digital marketing. Your home makes a cohesive first impression across listing platforms, social media, and buyer showings. You’ll know what’s happening, when, and why.
Room to Breathe
You have a life to live while your home is on the market. I organize showing schedules, coordinate the professionals involved, track deadlines, and keep you informed about decisions that need your attention. From the first showing to the handover of keys, you have someone keeping the details moving.
