MELISSA ALT
Prior to joining Douglas Elliman, Melissa was a founding partner of Teles Properties, and honored by Coldwell Banker for outstanding production as a member of their Top 100 agents in Southern California.
After over 30 years of experience, Melissa Alt has sold hundreds of homes from the beaches of Santa Monica to the Hollywood Hills, successfully representing buyers and sellers. Her extensive knowledge of Westside neighborhoods and market trends provides her clients with a comprehensive analysis of their housing options, whether they are moving across country or across town, ensuring they make the right decision.
Melissa’s approach to real estate can be summed up in three words: commitment, professionalism and service. She has assembled a team of professionals who are ready to answer questions ranging from mortgage loans to roof repair, making the home buying and selling process as effortless as possible. This network provides unparalleled access to immediate information – an important ingredient in a fast paced marketplace.
Prior to entering real estate, Melissa had a variety of professions ranging from teaching English in Guatemala, to owning an import company and a restaurant. These wide ranging business interests, and a diversity of careers, provided her with a deep understanding of the importance of service, and a honing of her skills as a negotiator and communicator: two essential elements of a successful real estate transaction.
Melissa enjoys the creative process and sharing insights with her clients. Giving sellers thoughts on how to improve their home prior to selling to achieve the highest price, or visualizing how a “fixer” can become a client’s dream home, are two examples of the creativity she brings to real estate.
A long time supporter of Habitat for Humanity, a portion of every sale is earmarked for this wonderful organization, helping families to realize their dream of home ownership.

BETSY SMITH
Having spent a decade in film development, Betsy Smith became known for her ability to find the right talent for the right project. She now applies these matchmaking skills to real estate, guiding her clients through Los Angeles’s fast-paced market place to find their perfect property. Whether helping first time Buyers and Sellers, or seasoned investors, she is a consummate advisor and advocate.
Tapped by Melissa Alt, a founding partner of Teles Properties and top producer throughout her career, Betsy turned her artistic eye toward real estate. Together they make a formidable team characterized by commitment, enthusiasm, and professional skill. Teles’s recent merger with Douglas Elliman, the # 1 Company on the eastern seaboard, and their affiliation with the international firm Knight Frank, has created a bi-coastal and international powerhouse.
Arriving in Los Angeles after college, Betsy’s interest in architecture continued to grow through exploring the diverse neighborhoods characterizing LA. Throughout her career in film, Betsy worked on a wide variety of projects ranging from big budget studio franchises to low budget indie films. During this time, she honed her negotiation skills, as well as developing a deep understanding for the importance of collaboration and listening to her clients.
