Lorin Ruttenberg

Lorin Ruttenberg thrives on the real estate industry’s constant movement, and she loves helping her clients navigate the constant growth, momentum, and change that defines Los Angeles.

Licensed since 2001, Lorin has immersed herself in virtually every type of property transaction for hundreds of buyers and sellers throughout the Westside of Los Angeles, including single-family homes, condos, investments, multi-family properties, raw land, teardowns, and ground-up construction. This deep well of experience informs every interaction Lorin has and gives her the foresight to pre-think a deal, positioning her clients ahead of potential problems, rather than being forced into a reactionary position. (Hence, Ahead of the Curve!)

Lorin is a steady force, walking her clients through industry ups and downs and sharing her wealth of knowledge with a generous dose of humor. She takes her negotiating acumen incredibly seriously, and spending time in role-play in order to continually develop and hone her skills is part of her regular practice. Her excellence has not gone unnoticed, either — Lorin is a founding partner in Ahead of the Curve Homes and ranked in 2020’s REALTrends America’s Best Real Estate Professionals.

Originally from the New York area, Lorin has lived in Los Angeles since 1988 (though she’s often told that her East Coast vibe still shines through!). She currently lives in Baldwin Hills with her husband and teenage son and has seen her firstborn daughter off to college. Lorin is active in her community, volunteering at her son’s high school, with the Sierra Club, and for environmental causes. She is also a member of the National Council for Jewish Women and contributes to the California League of Conservation Voters.

In her free time, Lorin loves to hit a Pilates class, cook, read novels, attend concerts and theater productions, and travel as much as she can.
