Author: Collin Ellingson

Born and raised in the Pacific Palisades enclave of Rustic Canyon and now a longtime resident of Marina del Rey, Collin brings a true insider’s perspective to the coastal neighborhoods of West L.A. With 25+ years in real estate, he has successfully guided buyers, sellers, builders, and asset managers through hundreds of transactions—from luxury homes and ocean-view condominiums to architecturally significant townhomes and new development communities. Collin’s reputation is built on three core values: integrity, communication, and precision. His clients know that from the first conversation to the final signature, every detail is handled with care, transparency, and intention. Buyers appreciate his calm, knowledgeable guidance and sharp negotiation skills. Sellers trust his ability to position a property strategically—especially in complex or shifting markets—to maximize value and achieve exceptional results. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Collin is deeply connected to the community and supports organizations including the Los Angeles LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce (LAGLCC), Sierra Club, and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Outside of real estate, Collin is a lifelong musician and budding jazz vocalist. He’s also a devoted classic car enthusiast, always looking for that next perfect ride.
