2025 is inching towards the rearview mirror. A perfect time to remember and reflect — not just on real estate deals and milestones — but on moments that made this year memorable. It’s been a year of painful challenges for so many, but it has also fostered connection, collaboration, and community. From shared SBP team breakfasts to our big wins, meaningful gestures to outright celebrations, here’s a quick look back at some of the experiences that shaped our year.
Honoring Community & Impact
Palisades Community Support
This year reinforced the power of community. From assisting neighbors and friends in need to sharing our insights with the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and New York Times, we witnessed some incredibly inspiring moments of caring and support on every level. Stay up-to-date on the progress at palisadeshomesites.com and through our weekly community newsletter.
The Hollywood Reporter Power Broker Awards
We were thrilled to receive four THR Power Broker nominations: Best Team, Agent of Historic Architecture, Celebrity Property Portfolio, and Philanthropic Impact (a record for a single team or agent!) — and truly honored to win the Philanthropic Impact Award.
Celebrating Culture & Connection
Team on the Town Together
Sewit shared her Ethiopian culture with a delectable SBP team dinner party at Meals by Genet — a celebration of heritage, food, and togetherness.

As a multi-year Top Flight Sponsor of the annual Children’s Burn Foundation golf tournament, our team was once again out on the green in support of CBF's mission to help heal child burn survivors and their families.
Thatcher’s Wine Shop Opening
We took a well-deserved pause from the daily hustle to celebrate local entrepreneurship at the new Thatcher’s Wine Shop, just steps from our Brentwood flagship.
SBP's White Elephant Gift Exchange
What better way to close 2025 than with an epic SBP Team White Elephant gift exchange in our Brentwood Flagship office, complete with strategic steals, charcuterie boards and festive coconut margaritas! Cheers to all.
This year reminded us that what matters most isn’t just the deals we close, but the relationships we build, the communities we support, and the joy we find in the everyday moments. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey with us — we can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2026!
