& Deliver
I break norms, but do it with style. We have been the underdogs and trendsetters as a rule. Main thing is that I never rest on past success, my nature is to continue to find new and inventive ways to present homes, information, or to operate our business. The real estate environment is changing and if you don't master the changes, you will be left behind.
IT ALL BEGAN WHEN THEY TOLD ME no.
THE ORIGIN
STORY
My passion for excellence comes from a deep sense of rebellion mixed with creativity. Let's be unapologetically excellent together.
I have a crazy young life story…I started college very young (early teens) and by the time I was 19, I was working full time in PR and had 3 other jobs. I moved to LA to turn my life from PR to acting, and as an actor in LA, I struggled–sometimes I didn’t even have enough money for food.
I borrowed money for my electric bill from the owner of the liquor store down the street. I mean broke!
I met my soon to be husband in Los Angeles, and we moved to DC where I went from being self-employed to being an editor for a Federal subcontractor — it was the most soul sucking job I had ever had. I was criticized for my efficiency and leadership skills. So I answered a craigslist ad for a real estate assistant and my life changed forever. Long answer — but the bottom line is…I was exhausted of the gig life and needed a career I could count on.
ACME is truly one-of-a-kind. ACME, the name, was meant to be a generic anti-brand brand…that is, we don’t have corporate overlords tell us what to do. We are a rebel brand who can put our clients’ interests first, ahead of the brokerage branding. Our clients are truly the stars.
In Los Angeles, we have spent over a decade crafting unique and high-level marketing specifically tailored to elevating the design aesthetic of renovation resale clients. We innovate, not imitate, and we have been honored to be the launch pad for some of LA’s hottest photographers and stagers.
Further, as one of the only 9% of brokerage owners in CA that are woman-owned, we are proud to create a clear vertical path for future leaders in our firm. We operate as a diverse family, and we learned last year that we are also tolerant under duress. We respect each other from an authentic place, and have curated a very different culture of support, training and collaboration that just doesn’t exist at other firms.
I'm Courtney,
ACME's Founder.
