The Berens Group
Moving Forward “of course

At the helm of The Berens Group, Sandy Berens is one of the Westside’s most knowledgeable and respected names in real estate. Specializing solely in West Los Angeles beach communities, Sandy maintains a special focus on Venice and the Venice Canals.

As a long-time resident of the Canals with close to four decades of real estate experience, Sandy offers both up-to-the-minute knowledge and the deep perspective that comes with observing and participating in the evolution of a community. A board member for the Venice Canals Association (for a “long, long, long time”), Sandy has a personal interest in maintaining the beauty, safety and unique personality of her “neighborhood.”

Her concern with quality of life extends to all of the beach communities. “I’m lucky enough to live and work on the Venice Canals,” Sandy says, “but my passion for the character of this region extends miles up and down the coast.” That level of concern is apparent in her longstanding relationships with the clients that return to her again and again for trustworthy representation. It is also reflected in awards of distinction – both professional and personal – showered upon her year after year.

At the 2013 Venice Boat Parade, Sandy was honored with an award from the City of Los Angeles in recognition of her 20 years of community work on behalf of the Venice Canals. The award was presented in front of an enthusiastic audience during the Boat Parade, hand delivered by 11th District Councilman, Bill Rosendahl.

Born in Chicago and raised in Los Angeles, Sandy majored in the arts at UCLA. Before launching her real estate career, she was a fashion model and owned retail stores all over the U.S. Turning her eye for beauty from fashion to homes, she earned her real estate license in 1974 and her broker’s license in _____. She also holds a Short Sales and Foreclosures (SFR) certification.

Through their community outreach program, “Berens Friends,” The Berens Group contributes a portion of every commission to a charity of the client’s choice.

Representing sellers, buyers and investors, Sandy’s expertise covers the gamut from homes and estates to vacant land and income property. What keeps her going? “I like meeting new people, I like negotiating the deal, and I like being successful.” Sandy’s success on behalf of her clients has earned her not only an outstanding reputation and the trust of her clients, but the admiration and respect of her professional colleagues throughout Southern California.
