Douglas Elliman Welcomes L.A. Power Broker Lisa Optican

Douglas Elliman Realty is pleased to announce that Lisa Optican , a consistent top producer with a focus on luxury estate properties, has joined the firm’s Beverly Hills flagship office at 150 El Camino Drive. Lisa Optican “Lisa is a true trailblazer in luxury real estate,” said Scott Durkin, Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman Realty. “Her myriad accomplishments have earned her an unassailable reputation for being a trusted partner and tireless advocate on behalf of her clients. We look forward to her continued success at Douglas Elliman.” “Douglas Elliman is a powerhouse firm with the heart of a boutique brokerage and a natural fit with the way I approach real estate,” said Optican. “It’s truly a privilege to represent incredible properties and clients, and I am excited to tap the strength of Elliman’s network and resources to help my clients achieve their goals.” As a former lawyer and property developer, Optican has a deep understanding of contracts and brings a unique perspective to her work. Her major deals include the $35.7 million sale of a hilltop home at the mouth of Laurel Canyon and, most recently, a $21.675 million Pacific Palisades transaction in which she represented the buyer. Optican was also the exclusive agent on Marilyn Monroe’s final and only home in Brentwood. The sale of this iconic property catapulted Optican into the national spotlight, showcasing her ingenuity and savvy. “Lisa is a force to reckon with in the industry, and I have long admired her work ethic and personal character,” said Stephen Kotler, CEO of Douglas Elliman’s Western Region. “Lisa’s commitment to her clients, in addition to a successful track record in the super-prime property market, make her a great addition to our high-performing Los Angeles team.” A native of Los Angeles, Optican currently resides in Bel Air with her husband and children.
