About Gabriella
Gabriella Ortega, grew up in the vibrant neighborhood of East Hollywood and remains a local. She’s always been deeply connected to the landscapes and cultural tapestry of Los Angeles. Her passion for real estate stems from her interest in uniquely designed living spaces and architectural homes. Firmly believing these structures are symbols of the city's identity and the stories of its inhabitants. This led Gabriella to creating Habitus LA, and joining Deasy Penner Podley at Compass as an agent to embrace the concept of "home as art."

In the last ten years, Gabriella has embarked on an extraordinary journey to get here. She pursued a degree in Social & Cultural Anthropology at UC Merced, and upon graduation, she delved into consulting for the California State Legislature. Her focus was on shaping state laws for South LA. Subsequently, she transitioned to a philanthropic role, serving as an advisor to aid in the grassroots development of communities through collaboration with local nonprofits at The California Endowment. This diverse experience uniquely positioned her to hold a comprehensive viewpoint on real estate, integrating an understanding of the effects of policymaking in neighborhoods and emphasizing community investment as a precedent for fostering a sense of belonging.

Through her venture in real estate as Habitus LA, she finds unique listings to share and represent, captivating stories about LA's community in each neighborhood, fostering connections for residents and buyers/investors. Selecting Habitus LA is not just about discovering a residence; it's about crafting your habitat, and becoming an integral part of a community. Join Gabriella to embark on your home journey!

And, while outside of working, she finds joy in cycling, hiking throughout canyons, going to art shows, exploring historical homes, and gardening at a local community garden in Franklin Hills. These hobbies reflect her nature and ability to connect with others on all levels. With an unwavering commitment to community growth, Gabriella Ortega is dedicated to serving the real estate needs of Los Angeles, ensuring intentionality with each client's journey in the real estate.

About Habitus LA

Habitus LA, founded by Gabriella, is not just in the business of real estate; she is in the business of creating intentional, creative, and beautifully woven living experiences. This service-based approach transcends the conventional real estate model, bridging the worlds of buying, selling, investing, interior design, and community connectivity. The mission is to harmonize all these elements into a vision of home, where every aspect contributes to the creation of something uniquely beautiful and deeply personal.

The name Habitus LA was formed by father and daughter, Mario & Gabriella. The idea came from the notion that a home is more than just four walls; it's about our habitats that bring joy and the “us” – people who dwell in these homes. In which inspired this mission to also serve as a platform that will share stories of lived experiences, celebrating the vibrant and diverse habitats of Los Angeles. Through these narratives, we honor the existing habitats that shape our city, weaving a tapestry of life, culture, and community.

We continue to build a network of real estate experts, interior designers, and architects who are dedicated to curating spaces that contribute to the creation of home being unique and deeply personal. I invite you to embark on this journey with us, because when you choose Habitus LA, you're not just finding a home; you're creating your habitat, your story, and your future.
