Buyer

Being based in LA we met many real estate agents that were interested in working with us, but we chose Coleen because we felt she truly had our best interest in mind. It wasn’t just about making a quick sale, it was about listening to us, getting to know our family and ultimately finding the perfect home for us. She made what could potentially be a stressful experience a very positive and enjoyable experience. We loved working with Coleen. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient and just wonderful to be around. Plus she has great taste in homes. She is more than a real estate agent, she is a dear friend. Thank you Coleen for everything you did for us!!

Buyer

Coleen took the time and care to sell my property. From our initial meeting, her patience, communication, listening and walking me through the process was so professional. In addition to handling the process of the sale while I was out of town the whole time, she was able to pace the communication needs effortlessly.

About Coleen

A multitasking maven in her own right, Coleen Novak spent over twenty years managing high-profile bands (Sarah McLachlan and Barenaked Ladies, anyone?) before pivoting into the real estate realm. Her experience proved immeasurable. She successfully segued her talent for coordinating multi-million-dollar tours, album campaigns, and entertainment careers into a thriving real estate business.

Imbued with a natural gift for anticipating needs, Coleen is no stranger to clients relying on her at all hours. Strategic, resourceful, and exceedingly honest, she takes a hands-on approach to guiding clients, ensuring they feel informed and confident every step of the way. To Coleen, real estate is more than simply helping clients buy or sell a home. She truly treasures helping folks navigate one of the most personal decisions of a lifetime, and arguably, the largest financial leap they’ll ever make. Fiercely protective of her clients, it’s a responsibility she doesn’t take lightly.

Born and bred on the West Coast of Canada, Coleen hopscotched the globe during her music manager career. From New York to London, Toronto and back again, she gleaned an impressive appreciation for the historic homes that punctuated her mélange of tour stops. Convinced that “every home tells a story,” Coleen worked to ensure her 1929 English Tudor in Pasadena was awarded the Mills Act designation before tackling a 1920s Spanish Revival remodel in Glendale. Beloved for its fascinating architecture, Coleen adores her hillside community and its proximity to LA’s niche neighborhoods. When she’s not hustling for her clients, you’ll find the mother of two actively involved as a member of St. Mark’s School’s Board of Trustees, along with her children’s respective schools, pas and present (Westridge School For Girls, Flintridge Preparatory School, Boston University).
