Elana Besserman

Elana was born and raised in Los Angeles and knows the city intimately. Growing up in Marina del Rey, Elana attended PS#1 in Santa Monica, the Archer School for Girls in Brentwood, USC in downtown LA, and has lived in West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Mar Vista, developing a lifelong expertise in LA’s Westside and beyond.

 

As a mother of three, Elana honed a strong point of view on school options and a discerning eye for family lifestyle recommendations to help advise buyers and sellers alike in making the right choices for their families. She is passionate about architecture, design and most of all, helping navigate her clients through important life decisions.

 

Prior to joining the Shelton Wilder Group, Elana owned and operated a popcorn company for 9 years, expanding the footprint into live events, craft services, e-commerce and eventually exited through a sale of the company.

 

Elana dives into everything she does head first. Whether taking on a new client, relocating an existing client or finding short-term rentals to bridge a home renovation project, Elana adores people and embraces any opportunity to turn clients into friends, and friends into clients.
