Roylin Downs

Top 1oo in transactions amongst all Berkshire Hathaway agents in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties combined.

Beginning my early career in real estate in the spring of 1990, I quickly realized that I had a natural ability to hear what is important to my clients and navigate the transaction to realize their needs. Previous management experience at Nordstrom provided me with the high level of customer service I bring to every real estate transaction.

Between 1998 and 2015, I expanded my real estate centered career to become the Regional Real Estate Manager for the Los Angeles Times and then the National Sales Director at California Association of REALTORS. I also owned my own real estate publication, Real Estate and Living. As publisher at the VC Reporter, I oversaw the creation of Ventana Magazine.

My diverse background in the real estate industry allows me to offer a powerfully unique skill set and expertise to my clients.

While my partner excels at negotiations and bringing buyers and sellers together, I see my role as complimenting the team with strengths in marketing and administration.

Prior to joining The Roylin Sells Group, I spent several years as one of the top architectural photographers in Los Angeles. I photographed the celebrity homes of Harrison Ford, Meg Ryan, Cuba Gooding Jr., and many others. My work has also been published in Architectural Digest. The photographs of your home will be the first impression for any buyer. Not only are my photographs a cut above in quality, but doing most of our photography in-house allows us to be more nimble and flexible than other agents.

Raised in a family of fine artists and creative thinkers, I also had an early career as a music recording engineer, working with The Black Crowes, The Eurythmics, and many more. This experience has carried over into real estate in the form of listening skills and the value of privacy and discretion.

Roylin and Lee are a great team! Whenever I had concerns, they were able to educate me about the entire process. They were easy to reach and very responsive throughout the process.

Roylin did a great job for my family, selling my mom's house, which had some condition issues and a reverse mortgage. Creative, hard working.

I was looking for a place and I asked Roylin if she would help me. Roylin showed me just one property. She listened and understood what I was looking for and found me the perfect place right out of the gate.

Lee and Roylin treated me like family. I got Lee's name from a friend who grew up here. Immediately, I could see that Lee had a high level of intelligence, experience, and expertise. When I met Roylin, I was also impressed-- I realized I had not one, but two great agents! Lee guided me past pitfalls and into the perfect purchase. His focus was never on the quick sale. His priority was to find my family a home that would be a comfort for years to come. That was very clear as we made decisions together. I shudder to think of what might have happened if I had not met Lee and Roylin. Buying a home is complicated and there is so much that can go wrong. Having talented agents in whom I could really trust made all the difference.

We worked with Roylin and Lee starting in 2018. They became fast friends and wonderful agents. We have worked with them on numerous properties, and I'll say I have never seen agents work so hard for their clients. Truly I feel like a valued client and friend.

Roylin helped us purchase 2 homes (so far). She’s your one-stop-shop realtor whether you’re looking to buy or sell your home. She pulls out all the stops by researching every detail to fit your needs. She’s one hundred percent hands-on and a transparent communicator. During the entire escrow process you’ll feel confident and worry free. Roylin is a professional with strong ethics and values, and by-the-book realtor skills and knowledge. You will not be disappointed.

It is very simple, Roylin is amazing. She cares about her clients and is going to help with whatever it takes to help you find your dream home or sell your current not-dream home, ha ha ha! Roylin went above and beyond for my family when we were looking to combine our households. She offered services far outside of the Realtor job description and instead played the role of what you would expect from a very dear friend. I might have cried and she might have shown up on my doorstep to offer a hug and positive words. She will forever be my go-to Real Estate Agent.
