Mara Ellington

Santa Monica luxury real-estate agent

Preparing a private Ocean Avenue preview

Five years into Westside real estate, I pair rigorous market work with coastal storytelling for more than 1.1 million followers. Luxury homes, fitted denim, ocean mornings, and the details buyers miss on a first walk-through.

A few things from lately

4 / 6 momentssix small windows
Before the first showing

Quiet rooms, ocean light, and one final pass through the story the home is telling.

The 7 a.m. coastline

Bare feet, the pier in the distance, and thirty minutes before the calendar starts.

Walk-through in one take

The best property videos feel like a trusted friend showing you what matters.

Coastal closing uniform

Dark denim, camel tailoring, and the confidence to keep the pitch simple.

Notes

What I’m thinking about

3 entries
Journal cover
Field notesScenes behind the journal
  1. Focused

    A beautiful house can still be the wrong house. My job is to protect the client’s clarity when the view makes every compromise feel smaller.

  2. Energized

    The listing video crossed two million views, but the best result was the qualified buyer who noticed the passive-cooling details we chose to explain.

  3. Grounded

    Five years in, preparation still beats charisma. Know the disclosures, walk the block, and never make a client guess what you really think.

Montana Avenue morning loop

Santa Monica, California · Most mornings

Client coffee, design shops, and the neighborhood texture a listing sheet cannot capture.

Point Dume architecture day

Malibu, California · August 2026

Touring three very different responses to cliff, wind, privacy, and the Pacific.

The best reminder that Westside value is as much about rhythm as square footage.

Ocean-adjacent inventory

Still selective

Turnkey design is moving quickly; ambitious renovation projects need sharper pricing than they did last quarter.

The overlooked advantage

Walkability

Buyers keep paying for a morning routine they can picture, not only a view they can photograph.

Personal

What clients get

2 notes

The honest second look

After the emotion

We revisit noise, light, layout, insurance, and resale before anyone talks themselves into urgency.

A launch built for attention

Editorial, not generic

Every property gets a distinct story, premium visuals, and distribution to an audience already watching the coast.
