24 years in California real estate. 1,312 closed transactions and counting. Founder of Coastline 840, an independent California brokerage built for the architectural homes, branded residences, and design-forward properties that make this state what it is.

California Always

California, you raised me on winding roads and salt air. On Spanish tile rooftops glowing at sunset and mid-century glass reflecting palm trees. You taught me that homes aren't boxes. They're stories.

I've driven your 840 miles more times than I can count. From misty mornings in Mendocino to golden evenings in Malibu. I've tasted your vineyards, walked your beaches, wandered your desert towns. And every time, I come back to this truth: there is nowhere like you.

Some people come to real estate for the sales. I came for the California of it all. The architecture, the hillside light, the way homes here carry stories across eras and neighborhoods. For more than two decades, I've helped clients buy, sell, and move through their next chapters in Studio City, Los Feliz, the Eastside, and the many pockets of Los Angeles and California that make this state feel both vast and intimate.

Rooted in California

California is more than my market. It's my lens. From the hillside streets of Los Feliz to the canyons of Studio City, from the design enclaves of Silver Lake to the coastlines that gave my brokerage its name.

The name Coastline 840 isn't branding for its own sake. Highway 1 runs approximately 840 miles along the California coast. It's the road I come back to when I need to remember why I do this work. Every bend of it is a reminder that this state is not one thing. It's everything.

My work spans four connected sites, each doing one job:

  • DebbiePisaro.com, my listings, architectural homes across Los Angeles, branded residences, and the agent practice.
  • JustStudioCity.com, the hyperlocal Studio City guide. Neighborhoods, architecture, businesses, market.
  • LosFelizLiving.com, the hyperlocal Eastside guide. Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater Village.
  • Coastline840.com, the brokerage. Statewide California, the team, referrals, and the Side, Inc. platform that powers it all.

How I Got Here

I didn't plan on becoming a real estate agent. I planned on music.

Before real estate, I spent years at Warner Bros. Records as director of sales. I learned how to read a room, move fast in a competitive market, and negotiate with people who had very strong opinions about what they wanted. It turned out to be the best possible training for what came next.

When I left to be a stay-at-home mom, I bought and sold two homes in six months. I made every mistake you can make. And I thought: no one should have to go through that without someone genuinely in their corner.

So I got my license. That was 2003. First year: Rookie of the Year. Twenty-four years in: still here, still learning, still obsessed with this state and what it means to find the right home in it.

The Team and Coastline 840

I'm not solo. Coastline 840 is an independent California brokerage I founded and run, affiliated with Side, Inc., the platform that powers many of the country's leading boutique brokerages. The structure gives my clients the technology, marketing, and back-office infrastructure of a national brand, with the attention and judgment of a small, hand-picked team.

The team is small by design. A bench of California-licensed agents I work with closely, supported by transaction coordination and marketing professionals so the back-end runs cleanly and I stay focused on you and your home. Every client knows who's representing them at every stage. No handoffs to a junior. No surprises.

The brokerage is built for California, statewide. Architectural and design-forward homes are scattered across this state, from Eichlers in Marin to Mid-century Modern in Palm Springs to Spanish Revival in Santa Barbara to Storybook cottages in the Hollywood Hills. Coastline 840 was built to handle them all, with on-the-ground expertise in our home markets and trusted referral relationships everywhere else.

Branded Residences Expertise

I'm among Los Angeles' leading agents for luxury branded residences, with primary-source access and authority across the city's most significant new developments:

  • Aman Beverly Hills Residences
  • One Beverly Hills Residences (Aman West Coast)
  • 8899 Beverly, the Olson Kundig adaptive reuse project
  • Sun Rose Residences, formerly Pendry Residences West Hollywood
  • Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills
  • Privé Malibu, where I was among the first agents through the property at prelaunch

Design and Architecture

I've always believed real estate is equal parts place, architecture, and lifestyle. My clients rely on my experience with mid-century modern, Spanish Revival, post-and-beam, and classic Los Angeles hillside architecture. Neutra, Ain, Ed Niles, the whole lineage of architects who understood California light.

That understanding isn't just professional. I own a renovated 1907 Silver Lake Craftsman called The Pink Lady that I've poured myself into. Living inside a home's history changes how you advise clients. You understand what original details are worth preserving, what a floor plan is really saying, and why some houses have a quality of light that no renovation can manufacture. The Pink Lady taught me most of what I know about falling in love with a home's bones.

Neighborhoods and Markets

With more than two decades in California real estate, I've represented homes across:

  • Studio City: Fryman Canyon, Colfax Meadows, Longridge Estates, Footbridge Square, and more.
  • Los Feliz: The Oaks, Laughlin Park, Los Feliz Estates.
  • The Eastside: Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater Village, and Northeast Los Angeles.
  • The Valley: Sherman Oaks, Valley Village, Toluca Lake, Westlake Village.
  • Coastal California: Malibu to Santa Barbara, Venice, and Brentwood.
  • Statewide California: Second homes from Ojai to Palm Springs to Napa.
  • Branded and unbranded residences in Beverly Hills and beyond.

Professional Approach

Clients come to me for clarity, professionalism, and taste. And for the truth, even when it's not what they want to hear.

After 24 years, I know how to see through staging. I know what a floor plan is really telling you. I know when a view is worth the price and when it isn't. What I don't do is lead anyone toward a decision that serves my commission more than their life. My clients tend to stay clients. Some of them I've helped buy and sell multiple times over the years. That's the metric I care about most.

A Little More

I live in Los Angeles with my Doberman, Lennon, who has strong opinions about neighborhood walks. I write about California, the homes, the history, the hidden corners, across all four of my sites. If you want to know how I think about real estate before we ever speak, read those. The voice you find there is the same one you get when we work together.

I'm also an Airbnb Superhost, which means I think about properties from every angle: owner, host, and agent. It's made me a sharper advisor on investment and income properties than I expected.

California Always. Your Next Chapter Starts Here.

Wherever you are in the process, thinking about selling, ready to buy, relocating within California or coming to it for the first time, I'd love to hear what you're working through. This state has a home for everyone who loves it enough to look.
