Palos Verdes

The people who walk your home

Riviera Edit was started by Marie and John Morgenstern, a husband-and-wife team of licensed agents who kept walking into beautiful homes that were days from being photographed and had never been looked at with a trained eye. We built the Riviera Pre-List Edit to close that gap, a 90 to 120 minute walk of your home with both of us followed by a written plan ranked by impact and cost within 48 hours. At Riviera Edit, the advice rests on training through Debra Gould's Staging Diva® program, listing experience on properties up to $22.9 million, and Marie's standing as a Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices top producer and Chairman's Circle Platinum member. We walk homes across the Beach Cities and the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and we bring nothing to the appointment but our attention, because the Edit is a plan you carry out with your own pieces and your own budget. At Riviera Edit, the commitment is simple, which is both of us in your home, an honest read on what is worth doing, and a plan you can actually finish before photo day.
