Los Angeles · Los Feliz · Silver Lake · Hollywood Hills · Beverly Hills
Marci Kays and Jonathan Mogharrabi are a Los Angeles power broker team at Carolwood Estates, built on a combined thirty-plus years in the market and an emphasis on discretion. Kays spent her early career as a Senior Financial Analyst at 20th Century Fox Studios and later as Director of Sales for Ritz-Carlton Residences before moving into brokerage; Mogharrabi, born and raised in Los Angeles, built a client base drawing on ties to talent representation at CAA and WME. The pair met while at The Agency and formed their partnership before joining Carolwood Estates in April 2023.
Their documented record is led by the off-market sale of Brad Pitt's longtime Hollywood Hills compound, on which the team represented Pitt as seller. The Real Deal and Robb Report have confirmed the closing price at $33 million; the Los Angeles Times independently confirmed a $39 million figure for the same transaction at the time of closing. Both figures are documented below. The team has since set the record for the priciest residential sale in Silver Lake's history at $10 million, and was named to The Hollywood Reporter's Top 35 Real Estate Agents list in 2023.

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 agents. Kays and Mogharrabi cannot amend this page except by producing evidence a stated fact is wrong.
- Price discrepancy, flagged
- Two closing figures for the same transaction appear in qualifying press. The Real Deal and Robb Report, in reporting that specifically names Kays and Mogharrabi as Pitt's agents, put the price at $33 million. The Los Angeles Times independently confirmed the same closing at $39 million, without naming the agents involved. Both figures are documented above rather than silently resolved to one.
- Sources
- Every press placement listed above carries its own publication, headline, and live link. Sourced from The Real Deal, Robb Report, the Los Angeles Business Journal, and The Hollywood Reporter.
- Open entries
- The buy-side agent on the Pitt/Getty transaction is not disclosed in any source reviewed. The exact street address of the Hollywood Hills compound was not published in qualifying press at time of writing.
- Corrections
