Juliette Hohnen is a British-born Los Angeles luxury real estate broker who arrived in the business by way of a fifteen-year media career. She spent close to a decade at MTV, rising from production assistant at MTV Europe to West Coast bureau chief of MTV News, and worked as a West Coast editor for Tatler, Harpers & Queen and Esquire before turning to property. The Hollywood Reporter dates her first house flips to roughly 2001 and her brokerage licence to 2007; her own account places the licence in 2006. She trained in interior design at the Inchbald School of Art and Design in London, holds California DRE licence #01772623, and leads Juliette Hohnen & Associates out of Douglas Elliman's Beverly Hills office at 150 South El Camino Drive.
Her documented record is built on celebrity and creative-industry clientele across the Westside and the hills, with representation confirmed in print for Emilia Clarke, Adele, Charlize Theron, Rami Malek, Lindsey Buckingham, Eric Idle, Chris Weitz and the estate of Paul Reubens. It includes the $16.5 million Brentwood estate she acquired on the buy side for "Grand Theft Auto" co-creator Dan Houser, the $7.65 million Pacific Palisades purchase she brokered for director Chris Weitz, and the $4.4 million sale of Emilia Clarke's Venice house. The Hollywood Reporter has named her to its list of top Los Angeles agents in 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, reported in 2022 that roughly half her business closes off market, and awarded her Celebrity Property Portfolio at the fifth annual L.A. Power Broker Awards in September 2025.

Record
Who is Juliette Hohnen?
Juliette Hohnen is a British-born Los Angeles luxury real estate broker who leads Juliette Hohnen & Associates at Douglas Elliman in Beverly Hills, holding California DRE licence #01772623. She came to real estate from a fifteen-year media career, spending close to a decade at MTV and rising to West Coast bureau chief of MTV News, and writing as a West Coast editor for Tatler, Harpers & Queen and Esquire. The Hollywood Reporter dates her first house flips to roughly 2001 and her licence to 2007, while her own account places the licence in 2006. Her practice covers the Westside and the hills, with documented representation for Emilia Clarke, Adele, Charlize Theron, Rami Malek, Lindsey Buckingham, Eric Idle, Chris Weitz and the estate of Paul Reubens.
What is Juliette Hohnen's most expensive documented sale?
Hohnen's largest press-verified transaction is the $16.5 million all-cash purchase of a Brentwood estate in 2020, which she brokered on the buy side for "Grand Theft Auto" co-creator Dan Houser and Krystyna Jakubiak from seller Peter Richards. Variety's Dirt vertical named her as Houser's agent; the listing side was Santiago Arana of The Agency and Jonathan Carr of Compass, and no street address was published. A larger figure circulates in trade custom-content, where the Los Angeles Business Journal reported a $31 million top sale for her 2022 cycle, but no qualifying editorial outlet has named her on a transaction at or above $20 million, so no such deal is recorded here.
What brokerage is Juliette Hohnen with?
As of September 2026, Hohnen is with Douglas Elliman, where she leads Juliette Hohnen & Associates out of the firm's Beverly Hills office at 150 South El Camino Drive. Douglas Elliman's own 2025 Ellie Awards record ranked her second in California by sales commission income, third by sales transactions and fourth by sales volume for the 2024 performance year, and admitted her to the firm's Pinnacle Club. The Real Deal reported in March 2024 that she was Elliman's top individual California agent by volume and by commission, and seventeenth nationwide by volume.
What awards and recognitions has Juliette Hohnen received?
Hohnen won the Celebrity Property Portfolio award at the fifth annual L.A. Power Broker Awards, held at the Mandarin Oriental Residences Beverly Hills on September 18, 2025 and presented by The Hollywood Reporter with The SOCIETY Group. She has been named to The Hollywood Reporter's list of top Los Angeles real estate agents in 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. She attended the 2023 Power Broker Awards but was not among that year's winners, and she does not appear on the published winner lists for the 2021 or 2022 ceremonies. She has also appeared in the Los Angeles Business Journal's Leaders of Influence: Residential Real Estate series across multiple years, though that series runs as custom content rather than editorial.

How This Record Was Verified
- Method
- Compiled from the property records in this archive and their named press citations, not from any submission by the agent. Juliette Hohnen cannot amend this page except by producing evidence a stated fact is wrong.
- Threshold note
- This archive records transactions at or above $20 million. No transaction at or above that figure has been attributed to Hohnen by any qualifying editorial outlet as of September 2026. The deals recorded above therefore sit below the archive's usual threshold and are published on the strength of named representation in The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, The Real Deal and Forbes rather than on price.
- Sources
- Every press placement listed above carries its own publication, headline, and live link. Sourced from The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, The Real Deal, Forbes and Robb Report. Figures drawn from the Los Angeles Business Journal's Leaders of Influence series are excluded from the record above because that series is published as custom content rather than editorial, and are identified as such wherever referenced.
- Open entries
- Three remain open. First, a $31 million off-market purchase of an unfinished house at 14914 Corona del Mar, Pacific Palisades, by Dan Houser, reported by The Real Deal in October 2022 and dated by Robb Report to summer 2021; no outlet names any agent on either side, and Hohnen's involvement is therefore unrecorded despite her documented buy-side role for the same buyer in 2020. Second, her licensing year, given as 2007 by The Hollywood Reporter and as 2006 in her own account. Third, no street address was published for the Brentwood, Pacific Palisades or Hollywood Hills transactions above, and the side represented on the Eric Idle sale was not disclosed.
- Corrections
