In Memoriam
After retiring as a professional ballerina, Rebecca Riskin began selling property in LA’s exclusive Westside neighborhoods.

Over the next 28 years, Rebecca was involved in hundreds of transactions, representing many of the area’s most iconic residents and their estates.

Through years of dedication and hard work, Rebecca carefully built a firm and a brand that continues to thrive in her honor.
