Lisa Kirshner

Real estate advisor | partner OF KIRSHNER elkin PROPERTIES

Lisa Kirshner is the Founder and Partner of Kirshner Elkin Properties and a Luxury Estates Director with Christie's International Real Estate Southern California. Over the past 35+ years, the team she built has grown into one of West Los Angeles' top residential real estate teams, closing more than $2 billion in sales across 850+ transactions with over 96% of that business coming from repeat clients and referrals.

She has been ranked in the top 1% of real estate professionals nationally and the top 5% of agents at Christie's International Real Estate Southern California. The recognition extends to the team as well: RealTrends has named them among the nation's top-performing teams, and they've been ranked a Top Ten Team in West Los Angeles.

As a third-generation real estate professional and native Angeleno raised on the Westside, real estate has been part of Lisa's life for as long as she can remember. Today, Kirshner Elkin Properties carries that legacy into a fourth generation, as she leads the team alongside her son and partner, Dylan, theirs is a mother-son team built on the same values passed down through her family.

Her own path wasn't linear. She first built a career negotiating international contracts for an import/export company, then earned her MBA from USC before returning to the family business. That background across residential, commercial, investment, and syndication work continues to shape how she assesses value, structures a deal, and advocates for her clients.

Lisa's role isn't just to close a transaction — it's to be the person her clients trust to give clear advice and tell them what they need to hear, even when that means advising against a move. That philosophy extends beyond the transaction itself: when she's not advocating for clients, she's serving on the board of a local nonprofit, mentoring up-and-coming agents, or spending time with family and friends. For her, the most meaningful measure of success is the trust she's built and the relationships that bring clients back generation after generation.
