01 — About

Where market strategy meets teamwork.

We work the way we would want to be worked with: direct answers, real numbers, and a house prepared properly before it ever reaches the market. Two decades in these neighborhoods means we know which streets trade quickly, which remodels return their cost, and what a buyer will actually pay this month — not last quarter.

Doug

Negotiation, market analysis, construction and investment perspective. He reads a property structurally — scope, cost, and what the work is worth on resale.

Ashley

Client relationships, staging, design and lifestyle marketing. She shapes how a home is presented, and helps buyers see what a space can become.

“We have worked with DMF Realty on the selling and purchase on multiple properties and can say that they are by far the most reliable, honest, and hard working realtors in the Studio City, Sherman Oaks and surrounding areas. Their commitment to their clients goes above and beyond and we cannot recommend them enough!”

Jennifer Brandt

Studio City & Sherman Oaks home buyer and seller

“Ashley and Doug are the absolute best and a complete dream team! They helped us sell our West Hollywood condo for the highest price any condo was ever sold in our building! Then found us the most incredible, turnkey home within our price range, location and school district! They also helped my parents find a new rental and eventually a new forever home after they lost their home on the Palisades Fire, which was truly an emotional task. Ashley and Doug are kind and compassionate, while being diligent and a force to be reckoned with in the real estate market. They make you feel so attended to and special through the process, as well as are so thoughtful and insightful and getting the best deals, staging and just being real friends through it all. We love them!”

Laurie Brucker Amerikaner

West Hollywood condo seller and home buyer

“Doug and Ashley represented my husband and I in the recent sale of our home in Silver Lake, and I could not be more thrilled with the entire experience working with them. They were tremendous partners to us throughout the process, and instilled trust and competence from day one working together. We interviewed several well-known neighborhood realtors before listing, and Doug and Ashley stood out because they came extremely prepared to all our conversations, presented a strong POV for how to market our home, and built a tailored plan to get us maximum value. They were by our side through every phase of the process, helping us source service professionals for painting and small repairs to prep for listing, and they provided and bought with their own budget many items for staging our house. They went big for every showing and were amazing partners when it came to evaluating offers. Doug is a master negotiator and Ashley has a beautiful eye for design - they are both excellent communicators and just generally amazing people.”

Katie Benesch

Silver Lake home seller

“Simply put, Ashley and Doug are an absolute dream team who truly have what it takes to navigate and succeed in LA's housing market. They are trustworthy, experienced, patient and communicative, and they have the expertise to close the best deal. Case in point: After working with DMF realty to sell our first home AND buy the next one, my husband and I are now enjoying our spacious new house with kiddos and pets in the Valley neighborhood we wanted — and we've already invested some of the money from the sale into major kitchen upgrades and more (with plenty of extra cash to pay off our debts and put away some savings.)

When it came to selling, they gave us the best contractor recommendations and advice for getting our first house in tip-top shape. They did such an incredible job with the staging and photos that for a very — very! — brief second, we wondered if we should stay in our newly organized and clean casa (I still look at the listing pictures in awe.) And when challenges popped up, they navigated it with grace and patience, and they were always ready to take action with multiple solutions.


One of the many things we love about them is that they were completely upfront and honest about what to expect during every step, and without sugar-coating the facts about the current state of the market. Thanks to their reassurance and calmness, we really stayed sane while simultaneously selling and buying in what turned out to be a seamless transaction. Doug and Ashley were also able to move quickly when we found the perfect home before the first house closed, and we were even able to take our time moving without needing a short-term rental.


We constantly found ourselves saying how grateful we were that Ashley and Doug were in our corner. They were like our real estate agents/therapists who really understood and even anticipated our concerns at every step of the way. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for DMF Realty for making our family's big upgrade possible. We've already recommended them to several friends and family members, and they'll be on speed-dial if and when we move again.

Danielle Directo-Meston

LA home seller and Valley home buyer

“Ashley and Doug are an amazing husband and wife real estate team in LA and we loved working with them! They are local experts who really know the market, know a ton of off-market listings, and were super hands on with our search. Ashley was very attentive to our needs and concerns and always kept an eye out for us. They finally found us our dream home, got us in before anyone else saw it, and were there every step of the way to guide us through the daunting inspection process and provide expert advice. Doug is extremely knowledgeable about home systems, construction and is still a great sounding board for us on anything to do with our home. Doug is also an amazing negotiator and was able to negotiate a lot of credits for us, which we really appreciated. We couldn't recommend Ashley and Doug more to all of our friends and family!”

Christine Z

Los Angeles home buyer and off-market property buyer

“We LOVED working with Ashley & Doug at DMF Realty! They got us exactly what we wanted price-wise when we sold and in under a week, with a quick 3-week close, as we wanted. Couldn't be happier as a seller -- and as a buyer, when they were patient with us in finding what we wanted in West Hollywood during a competitive market.”
