About Us
Complementary Strengths. Shared Standards.
Vahn Alexander and Lisa Clapperton bring an uncommon combination of real estate, legal, negotiation, media and marketing experience to every transaction.
As licensed real estate professionals, they work closely together with Sellers and Buyers throughout the process, combining two distinct professional backgrounds with direct, personal Client service.
Vahn brings analytical, negotiation and problem-solving skills developed through decades of legal and real estate experience. In addition to her experience as a licensed Agent, Lisa brings an extensive background in journalism, television production, editing and marketing.
Clients benefit from the direct involvement of Vahn and Lisa, two experienced professionals who evaluate properties, pricing, preparation, marketing, offers, negotiations and transaction issues together rather than handing Clients off to junior members of a larger organization.
Whether representing a Seller, assisting a Buyer, marketing a distinctive property or navigating a Trust, Probate or Conservatorship sale, Vahn and Lisa share the same commitment to communication, preparation, attention to detail and Client service.
Through their affiliation with Coldwell Banker Realty, Vahn and Lisa combine their hands-on approach with the resources and reach of an established real estate brokerage.

Vahn Alexander | Real Estate Broker | Attorney | DRE 01962370
Vahn brings an unusually broad professional background to residential real estate.
A licensed California Real Estate Broker and Attorney, he has more than 30 years of combined legal and real estate experience. A longtime Los Angeles resident, Vahn earned his undergraduate degree from UCLA and his J.D. from Loyola Law School before building a legal career focused on complex litigation.
Years of advocacy and litigation developed skills that translate naturally to real estate: analyzing complicated facts, identifying potential issues, negotiating effectively, communicating clearly and finding solutions when transactions do not go according to plan.
Vahn believes Clients should understand not only what is happening in a transaction, but why. Whether evaluating value, reviewing an offer, analyzing terms or addressing an unexpected issue during escrow, he takes the time to explain options and help Clients make informed decisions.
His legal background can be particularly valuable when transactions involve multiple parties, unusual circumstances or complicated ownership issues. In real estate matters, Vahn brings an analytical discipline and negotiating experience developed during his legal career to every transaction.
Vahn works alongside Lisa with Sellers and Buyers throughout Greater Los Angeles, including distinctive residential properties and Trust, Probate and Conservatorship sales.
Outside real estate, Vahn has longstanding interests in automobiles, motorsport, architecture and design. He and Lisa are avid Formula 1 enthusiasts and have attended races around the world. He also enjoys international travel, hiking, biking and Los Angeles' automotive culture.
Lisa Clapperton | Real Estate Agent | DRE 02093325
Lisa brings an equally distinctive professional background to the team.
Originally from London, England, Lisa is a licensed California Real Estate Agent who works directly with Buyers and Sellers throughout every transaction. She has lived in Los Angeles for approximately 18 years and combines her European background with extensive experience living and working in Southern California.
Before entering real estate, Lisa built a career in media that began in journalism and developed into television editing and production in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
As an Agent, Lisa is involved in every aspect of the real estate process. That includes understanding Client priorities, evaluating properties, preparing homes for market, communicating with Clients and other Agents, reviewing offers, coordinating transaction details and helping move each transaction successfully toward closing.
Her media background provides an additional advantage when marketing property. Years spent professionally producing and editing content helped her develop a strong understanding of storytelling, visual presentation and how an audience experiences information. Lisa is closely involved in photography, video, written content and the overall presentation of the team's listings across digital, social and traditional marketing channels.
Her interests in architecture, design, fashion, beauty and the luxury market also contribute to a broader understanding of lifestyle and presentation, particularly when marketing distinctive homes where the details matter.
Lisa is also a qualified personal trainer and maintains an active lifestyle through weight training, hiking and spinning. She is passionate about animal welfare and has worked with rescue organizations, and she shares Vahn's enthusiasm for Formula 1 and international travel.
The Strength of the Team
The strength of the team is not simply that two licensed real estate professionals are involved. It is that both remain directly engaged.
Vahn and Lisa regularly discuss properties, pricing, preparation, marketing, offers, negotiations and transaction issues together. Different professional backgrounds naturally lead to different observations, questions and solutions, giving Clients the benefit of more than one experienced perspective when important decisions need to be made.
Vahn's legal, analytical and negotiating experience complements Lisa's real estate, communication and production background. At the same time, both bring the practical knowledge and judgment required to guide Buyers and Sellers through every transaction from the initial conversation through closing.
Clients also have direct access to both Vahn and Lisa. The relationship does not change after a listing agreement is signed or an offer is accepted. They remain involved, accessible and accountable throughout the process.
That combination of complementary experience, collaboration and personal involvement is central to their approach and to the standard of service the team expects to provide.
