About

A Legacy of Excellence in Los Angeles Real Estate

A Stanford University honors graduate in Economics (Phi Beta Kappa) and Stanford Graduate School of Business alumna, Janine Gershon is a Los Angeles native with over 35 years of deep roots in the Southern California real estate market. Her career began in real estate development and property management as a Controller before she joined her family's distinguished real estate legacy — her father a hotel/motel broker and investor, her mother a highly-esteemed residential agent. That foundation gave Janine an unmatched instinct for the business from every angle. As a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified Previews Property Specialist, Certified Probate and Trust Specialist, NAR Pricing Strategy Advisor, e-PRO, Relocation Specialist, and Architectural Specialist, Janine's credentials are second to none. She is a founding member of the LA/Beverly Hills Women's Council of REALTORS®, a California Association of REALTORS® State Director, and 2021–2022 Treasurer-Elect of the Greater Los Angeles REALTORS® Association — the 4th largest in California. A recipient of the 2021 Richard Rosenthal Achievement Award and the 2022, 2023 & 2025 Ellie Awards' Leading Edge Award, Janine is also frequently called upon as an Expert Witness in real estate matters. She covers the entire LA market — from Downtown to the Ocean, Malibu, the San Fernando Valley, and the South Bay.
