About Richard
A bona fide Angeleno with over two and a half decades of luxury real estate acumen, Richard Ehrlich is a defining force from the Hollywood Hills to Malibu. Richard launched his career in 1999 with Westside Estate Agency, rose to partner in 2013, and drove over a billion and a half dollars in career sales before bringing his unmatched expertise to Carolwood Estates in 2022. Richard’s success stems from a deeply personalized, client-first philosophy. Seamlessly navigating the needs of top-tier talent in entertainment, music, finance, and fashion, he has built an elite network grounded in trust and discretion.

Thanks to deep-rooted industry relationships, Richard secures exclusive access to off-market inventory and pocket listings, consistently connecting clients with architectural masterpieces that fit their exact lifestyle.
A USC alumnus with a degree in Social Sciences and Communication, Richard resides in Brentwood with his wife, lifestyle designer Jenni Kayne, and their three children. Their personal homes have been celebrated in Architectural Digest, and Richard’s market expertise is frequently spotlighted in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Los Angeles Business Journal. Richard proudly serves on the Board of Directors of The Exceptional Children's Foundation.
I had the pleasure of working with Richard Ehrlich recently on a property search in Malibu. I found him highly professional, fully informed about all aspects of the market, thoughtful, intelligent, and fully committed to making the best deal for us rather than a quick deal.
Richard was always available, and immediately responsive to questions and the resolution of issues, many of which he guided us to consider for our benefit. He came to us highly recommended by friends who had worked with him in the past and who are very involved in the real estate market, and he met and exceeded their laudatory description of his capabilities and performance.
I would enthusiastically recommend Richard to anyone seeking assistance in pursuing a real estate transaction.
