The right home should never feel rushed. It should feel considered.

I’m Anj Catalano, a real estate agent with The Agency in Studio City (DRE #02056635). I represent buyers in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Toluca Lake and Valley Village, as well as the wider San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. We begin with how you live, what you want to spend and what matters long term, then narrow the search to homes that fit.

When it's time to negotiate, experience matters. With a background in law, I look beyond price, structuring terms carefully and protecting your position at every stage. From offer to closing, the process is handled with quiet precision.

Choosing your neighborhood

The same budget can buy very different things a few streets apart. We look at the house and its surroundings together: layout, lot, commute, condition and renovation potential. My Studio City guide and Sherman Oaks guide give you a feel for those trade-offs before we start viewing. There are guides for Encino, Toluca Lake and Valley Village too.

Buying from outside Los Angeles

I moved here from London, so I know how much there is to work out before you arrive. I help narrow the neighborhoods, walk properties on live video and show you the street, noise and privacy as well as the rooms. When you visit, we can use your time on the strongest options. I attend inspections in person when you can’t be there.

Buying a condo or townhome

The unit is only part of the purchase. I review HOA reserves, budgets, assessment history, rental restrictions and repair records, and follow up when the documents don’t agree. My law background makes me careful about the details. You can read a real example of that review process in my Studio City condo Q&A.
