EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, and a FIERCE INDEPENDENCE
01
ABOUT OUR AGENCY
Westside Estate Agency is a boutique real estate brokerage that specializes in the high-end residential market.
The company is defined by the values and the vision of its two founders, Stephen Shapiro and Kurt Rappaport. In 1999, Stephen and Kurt were two of the most well-known and successful realtors in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, they felt there had to be a better way to meet the expectations and individual needs of their high-net-worth clientele.
It wasn’t long before the two began making plans for a different kind of brokerage, a real estate agency committed to putting client service first, with the goal of completely satisfying the needs and desires of each client. In the words of Stephen, “Negotiations conducted with intelligence and integrity provide great results for our clients.”
WEA has retained its independence, in the face of widespread acquisition by a handful of impersonal agencies. Remaining independent means we answer to our clients, instead of a corporate headquarters thousands of miles away.

WEA AGENTS
Just as every home and every client are unique, so is every agent. We hand-select our real estate agents from the worlds of business, academia, entertainment and, of course, real estate. They are high achievers from diverse fields and experts in the details and subtleties that define multi-million-dollar negotiations. Our agents possess a passion for fine architecture and intimate property-by-property knowledge of their local areas. They innately understand the finer points of caring for clients with high net worth and even higher expectations. We match our agents with our clients through a precise understanding of both, knowing which agent will inherently meet a client’s needs and goals.

WEA LISTINGS
At Westside Estate Agency, we believe that every home is unique. We also recognize that every buyer and seller is equally unparalleled and highly distinct, and it is with this mindset that we approach working with our clients. Our agents do not simply list the homes we represent. They get to know each home intimately, from its one-of-a-kind features to its finest details. We combine this knowledge with an inherent understanding of our clients, their goals, needs, tastes, and interests, to ensure a precise, well-curated sampling of prospective homes—avoiding anything we don’t think will fit.
