"Lisa approaches real estate with a discerning eye and a thoughtful perspective. She guides clients in recognizing both the inherent beauty of a home and its full potential."

MEET LISA LERNER

CA DRE# 02434969

Lisa’s passion has always been rooted in real estate, not just in how homes are bought and sold, but in how they are valued, presented, improved, and ultimately lived in.

Originally from Washington, D.C., Lisa began her career in New York, where she worked for Ralph Lauren in international product development, refining her eye for quality, detail, and presentation. She relocated to Los Angeles in 1998 and later founded Bennett Lerner Interiors, where, for over two decades, she has partnered with homeowners, contractors, and architects to transform and elevate homes.

Today, Lisa brings that depth of experience to real estate, offering clients a distinct advantage through her combined expertise in design and construction. She has the unique ability to walk into any property and immediately assess its potential, understanding what improvements can be made, the costs involved, and how to maximize value. This allows her to strategically guide sellers in preparing their homes for market and help buyers recognize both beauty and opportunity.

At the same time, she introduces fresh ideas and presents a range of thoughtful options, making the process feel collaborative, creative, and genuinely enjoyable. There is nothing better than being in a home that brings you comfort and joy, and Lisa has created those spaces for my entire family throughout our house."
