Anj Catalano · The Agency

London-born.
Los Angeles-based.
Two decades across real estate, from investment and renovation to representation.

Originally from London, I began my career earning both undergraduate and master's degrees in Law, then worked in asset and portfolio management for a real estate investment trust. That foundation shapes how I approach contracts, negotiation, and complex decisions. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2012, I've bought and renovated multiple homes across the city, building a deep understanding of how value is created and how neighborhoods evolve, and I've been a licensed agent for the last nine years.

As a real estate agent with The Agency in Studio City, my approach is calm, precise, and client-led, with an eye for design, architecture, and neighborhood nuance. I specialize in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, Valley Village, Toluca Lake, Burbank, West Hollywood, Los Feliz, and the Hollywood Hills. Real estate in Los Angeles is about lifestyle, timing, and positioning.
