Meet Judy Deane
Venice Native. Luxury Real Estate Specialist. Fierce Westside Advocate.
Hyper-Local Insight Meets Relentless Negotiation
I'm a native Angeleno born and raised in Venice, where I still live today. With over five years in real estate and a strong focus on luxury and lifestyle properties on LA's Westside, I offer my clients not just market data, but a lived understanding of the neighborhoods they're buying and selling in.
A self-starter and experienced entrepreneur, I'm driven, creative, and a little spritely. I love LA's unique, individualized homes and the diverse pockets that make up the Westside. Helping clients find their perfect niche—whether that's a hidden-gem bungalow, a polished luxury residence, or a smart investment—is truly my favorite part of the job.
I take a proactive, hands-on approach to uncovering opportunities others might miss:
My clients describe me as warm, communicative, and a steady advocate. I'm here to guide you clearly, negotiate firmly on your behalf, and keep the process as smooth and low-stress as possible. When I'm not working with clients, I'm enjoying Venice beach, exploring LA's architectural gems, or at home with my tuxedo cat, Cujo.

Building Your Green File
Assemble tax returns, bank statements, asset documentation, and pre-approval letters. Judy partners with trusted Westside mortgage lenders who offer competitive luxury financing options.
