Susanna Bernstein

Equally skilled in the fields of real estate, lifestyle and design, and with a proficiency in all aspects of green real estate, including improving energy efficiency, smart home technology and green home certifications, Susanna approaches the home buying process in a holistic fashion. She works closely with her clients, colleagues and vendors to deliver smooth closings. Her enthusiasm and love for Los Angeles informs every transaction. Susanna learned the value of a good home and great design at an early age from her do-it-yourself type parents whose homes were featured in various publications from Sunset Magazine to the Washington Post. She holds a BA in European Studies with a minor in Studio Arts from Scripps College in Claremont, as well as a Certificate of Interior Design from UCLA. She has also studied in Paris at both Parsons and La Sorbonne, as well as the Rhode Island School of Design in Rome. Susanna is also a designated Green Realtor® and a member of the Green Resource Council. As a Hollywood set decorator for 10 years, Susanna worked in everything from commercials and music videos to television programs. She then started her own interior design company and worked with notable designers in both Los Angeles and New York City. Outside of real estate, Susanna is passionate about her two children, her fiancé, travel, art, photography, sustainability, and remaining in a sense of wonder. She has worked construction in Africa as a volunteer, hitch-hiked up the eastern coast of Australia, explored temples in India, learned to kite surf in Portugal, and saw over 500 sunsets in a row while documenting through photographs and musings. She also enjoys sharing her vision of living in Westside LA through her Instagram account @LovewhereyouliveLA and sunsets/natural art @Lessonsfromthesun.
