Diana Braun

I've sold homes on the Westside since 2002, and the architecture is still what I notice first.

Most of my work is in Venice, Mar Vista, Santa Monica and the Palisades, from small bungalows to large family homes. I've remodeled houses myself, so I look at a home the way a builder does: what it's really worth, what it needs before it goes on the market, and how to show it at its best.

Many of my sellers live out of state or overseas. I take care of those sales from start to finish, so they don't have to fly in, and they always know where things stand.

Selected press: Domino on Leanne Ford's Venice home, Mansion Global on Bradley Cooper's bungalow, and Los Angeles Magazine's Real Estate All-Stars, four years running (2023 to 2026).

Income to qualify
Interest, life of loan

Income to qualify assumes total housing costs of about 43% of gross income, a common lender guideline. Assets, other debts and the lender's own rules change this, so treat it as a rough guide.

Estimates only. Starting rates are national daily averages, not a quote; property tax is based on the purchase price. Confirm with your lender.

Buyers with strong banking relationships often qualify for less than the average.

Neighborhoods

A short market note on one neighborhood each month.

Venice

90291

Canal lots, pedestrian-only lanes, Abbot Kinney and Rose. A housing stock that runs from 1920s bungalows to steel-and-glass work by DU Architects and Charles Ward. Small lots mean design matters more here than square footage. Our Venice sales and notes →

Mar Vista

90066

Post-war bungalows and mid-century houses on generous flat lots, with the Gregory Ain-designed Mar Vista Tract at its center. Quieter and better value than its neighbors, and a good place for a modern renovation.

Santa Monica

90402 · 90403 · 90405

North of Montana 90402
Ocean Avenue to 26th Street. Tree-lined grid streets, with traditional houses and new construction on the same block, and some of the steadiest values on the Westside.

Wilshire–Montana 90403
South of Montana, north of Wilshire. Condos, townhomes and single-family streets close to the Montana Avenue shops, often the more accessible way into Santa Monica.

Ocean Park & Sunset Park 90405
Main Street, Craftsman bungalows and the blocks nearest the beach in Ocean Park; quieter mid-century streets in Sunset Park.

Santa Monica Canyon & Rustic Canyon

90402 · 90272

Mabery, Channel and Adelaide, and up into Rustic Canyon: Latimer, Brooktree, Haldeman, Greentree. Mature sycamores, mid-century houses on generous lots, and a tight inventory where many homes trade between people who already know the street.

Pacific Palisades

90272

The Riviera, the Alphabet Streets, the Huntington. Estate-scale lots and a market reshaped by rebuilding; we track permits and lot sales as closely as finished homes.
