About us

From the Valley to LA’s historic Hancock Park, RLTY by DC blends local insight, marketing expertise, and years of hands-on property management to guide clients through buying, selling, and leasing.

We’re Crystal and Desiree, best friends, business partners, and co-founders of RLTY by DC. With years of experience managing buildings across Los Angeles, from leasing and tenant relations to daily operations, we’ve developed a deep understanding of what makes properties thrive. Paired with backgrounds in marketing and public relations, that expertise naturally evolved into real estate.

Today, we combine those skills to help clients buy, sell, and lease with confidence. Whether it’s securing an investment rental, preparing a home for market, or finding the perfect first property, we bring strategy, communication, and a strong network of industry professionals to every deal. From the Valley to LA, our focus is on delivering results and building lasting client relationships.
