History
Dogtown was the nickname given to the Pacific Ocean Park (POP) area during the seventies and later on the name referred to most of Santa Monica/Venice. The area bred a whole generation of extreme skaters (Z-Boys), surfers, artists (The Doors) and our brokerage is located within the historical Zephyr building, where it all began. The neighborhoods of Venice and Santa Monica continue to develop today, yet they retain the beauty, diversity, pluralism and artistic value from prior generations. Because of this, today, more than ever, Venice and Santa Monica have become a real estate Mecca where people want to live, work and play and that is why Dogtown Realty exists. Dogtown Realty, Inc. was the inspiration of Assaf Raz. Jeff F. Konecke joined in the early 2000's. We are locals with a combined experience of over thirty years in the business. We live, work and surf in Venice/Santa Monica and we know it inside out.
Specialties
While Real Estate Sales & Leasing is our service, ultimately, our specialty is our area. Being locals, we focus our expertise on better understanding of our two neighborhoods and the people in them.
