Vita Kamliuk is a licensed California real estate agent (DRE #02166055) with Compass, specializing in residential real estate across the Greater Los Angeles area. She focuses primarily on the San Fernando Valley — including Valley Village, Sherman Oaks, Westlake Village, and Tarzana — as well as the Westside, including Westwood, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood. Vita is known for her personalized approach, deep local market knowledge, and access to exclusive off-market listings through the Compass network.

Vita Kamliuk brings something rare to the Los Angeles real estate market: 18 years of professional real estate experience built across two continents, a Master's degree in practical psychology, and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to start over in a new country.

Originally from Belarus, Vita built her career at the highest levels of commercial real estate in Moscow — leading departments at Knight Frank and Colliers International, closing over 500 transactions for global brands, and being recognized in 2019 with the CRE Award 40|40 as one of the most promising real estate professionals under 40 in the industry. She was a regular expert voice in Forbes Russia, on national television, and in the professional press.

Then California happened. Vita made the deliberate choice to leave the corporate world behind and focus on what matters most to her: helping real people find the place they call home. That shift — from high-volume commercial deals to deeply personal residential transactions — shaped everything about how she works today.

Her background in psychology means she listens differently. Her commercial experience means she negotiates without emotion and reads a deal with analytical precision. And her own journey as an immigrant building a life in Los Angeles means she genuinely understands the clients who come to her with a different language, a different system, and a lot at stake.

Whether you are buying your first home in the San Fernando Valley, navigating a complex sale, or relocating from another country, Vita brings the same thing to every transaction: strategy, honesty, and the kind of calm that only comes from having seen it all before.

Vita Kamliuk has deep, on-the-ground knowledge of the San Fernando Valley residential market. She specializes in Valley Village, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Tarzana, and Westlake Village — neighborhoods she knows street by street, price point by price point. She tracks local inventory, off-market activity, and pricing trends in these communities closely, and has hands-on transaction experience that gives her clients a real advantage whether they are buying or selling.

Yes. Vita Kamliuk also works with buyers and sellers in Westside neighborhoods including Westwood, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood. Whether you are looking for a sleek condo in West Hollywood or a family home in Westwood, Vita brings the same analytical approach and access to Compass's exclusive off-market network to every Westside transaction.

As a Compass real estate agent, Vita Kamliuk has exclusive access to Compass Private Exclusive listings — homes that are not publicly listed on the MLS or major portals like Zillow or Redfin. These pocket listings and off-market properties are shared only within the Compass network, giving her buyers a significant advantage in competitive markets like Sherman Oaks, Valley Village, Westwood, and Beverly Hills. Contact Vita directly to get access to these exclusive listings before they hit the open market.

Home values across the San Fernando Valley and the Westside vary significantly based on location, size, condition, lot size, and recent comparable sales. Vita Kamliuk provides free, no-obligation Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) tailored to your specific property. She analyzes current market data, active competition, and recent sales to give you an accurate, honest estimate of your home's value — not a generic online estimate, but a real, localized assessment from an experienced real estate agent who knows these neighborhoods street by street.

In competitive areas like Valley Village, Sherman Oaks, and Studio City, well-priced and well-presented homes often receive offers within 7 to 21 days of listing. On the Westside — in neighborhoods like West Hollywood and Beverly Hills — the market can move even faster for the right property at the right price.

For sellers who prefer a more discreet approach, Vita Kamliuk also offers the option of a Compass Private Exclusive — marketing your home confidentially within the Compass network before going public. This sell home privately strategy is particularly popular in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, where discretion matters as much as speed.
Regardless of the approach, Vita uses a proven marketing system — professional photography, targeted digital advertising, social media exposure, and Compass network promotion — to maximize your home's visibility and achieve the strongest possible result.

The home buying process in Los Angeles typically involves these steps: (1) Get pre-approved for a mortgage with a trusted lender; (2) Define your must-haves, budget, and target neighborhoods; (3) Work with a buyer's real estate agent like Vita Kamliuk to search active listings, private exclusives, and off-market opportunities through the Compass network; (4) Tour homes and submit a competitive offer; (5) Complete inspections and due diligence during escrow; (6) Close and receive your keys.

From the very first step, Vita's buyers have access to Compass One — a private client dashboard that gives you real-time visibility into every phase of your transaction. Upcoming steps, key dates, documents, market analyses, and exclusive Compass inventory — all in one place, available 24/7. In a market that moves as fast as Los Angeles, that kind of transparency is not a luxury. It is an advantage.

Vita guides first-time buyers through every step with patience, honesty, and the kind of local expertise that only comes from knowing these neighborhoods deeply.

Writing a winning offer in the Los Angeles market requires more than just the right price. Vita Kamliuk advises her buyers on offer price strategy based on comparable sales, escalation clauses, reduced contingency timelines, strong earnest money deposits, and personalized offer letters when appropriate. She also leverages her relationships with listing agents to better understand seller priorities — because knowing what a seller actually needs can matter as much as the number on the page.

And there is more. Over the years Vita has developed a set of specific strategies and techniques that make her buyers' offers stand out — approaches that consistently keep her clients' offers from being overlooked in multiple-offer situations. She does not publish them here. She shares them in person, during her buyer consultation — because that conversation is where the real work begins.

If you are serious about buying in Los Angeles, that meeting is where you want to start.

Following the 2024 NAR settlement, commission structures in California have changed. Buyers are now required to sign a Buyer Representation Agreement before touring homes, which outlines the buyer's real estate agent compensation. All commissions are negotiable and set by agreement between the parties — there is no fixed rate.

That said, the reality of the Los Angeles market is that in the majority of transactions, sellers continue to offer compensation to the buyer's agent as part of the sale. It remains common practice — and for sellers, offering competitive buyer's agent compensation continues to be an effective way to attract more qualified buyers and stronger offers.

Vita Kamliuk believes in full transparency around compensation — she will clearly explain all fees, agreements, and current market norms before you sign anything, ensuring there are no surprises throughout your transaction.

Compass Concierge is a program that allows sellers to make strategic home improvements before listing — fresh paint, updated flooring, landscaping, staging, kitchen and bathroom upgrades — with no out-of-pocket cost upfront. The funds are provided through Notable Finance LLC, a Compass-affiliated lender, and are repaid when one of the following occurs: your home sells, your listing agreement with Compass ends, or 12 months pass from the start of your project.

Homes that are properly prepared and staged consistently sell faster and for stronger prices. Vita Kamliuk will walk you through exactly which improvements make financial sense for your specific property — and which ones do not. Not every upgrade pays off equally, and part of her job is making sure you invest where it counts.

Yes. Vita Kamliuk works with international buyers and is fluent in Russian, making her an excellent resource for Russian-speaking clients navigating the Los Angeles real estate market. She understands the unique challenges of cross-border transactions, currency exchange considerations, and the documentation requirements for foreign nationals purchasing property in California. She provides full-service guidance from property search through closing.

California has some of the strictest disclosure laws in the country — and for good reason. The core principle is simple: if you know it, you disclose it. Everything that could affect the value or desirability of your property must be shared with the buyer. No exceptions. Sellers who conceal known issues — even minor ones — expose themselves to lawsuits, fraud claims, and deals that fall apart at the worst possible moment.

What does that mean in practice? Structural issues, roof condition, plumbing or electrical problems, past water damage or mold, neighborhood noise, disputes with neighbors, unpermitted work or additions, any deaths on the property in the last three years, known pest infestations, and any other fact that a reasonable buyer would want to know before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their life.

California also requires disclosure of natural hazard zones — earthquake fault lines, flood zones, fire hazard areas — as well as lead-based paint for homes built before 1978, smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector compliance, and water heater seismic strapping certification.

Vita Kamliuk will walk you through every required form and every question — including the Transfer Disclosure Statement and the Seller Property Questionnaire — making sure nothing is missed, nothing is misunderstood, and nothing comes back to hurt you after closing. Her approach is straightforward: full transparency protects everyone, and it always produces better outcomes than silence.

Because the person standing next to you in one of the biggest financial decisions of your life matters.

Vita Kamliuk is not a generalist who covers all of Southern California and knows none of it deeply. She works in specific neighborhoods — the San Fernando Valley, the Westside — and she knows them street by street, deal by deal. She knows which blocks command a premium and which ones sit. She knows when a price is right and when a seller is dreaming. That kind of knowledge only comes from being genuinely present in a market, not just licensed in it.

Her background is unusual for a residential real estate agent. Eighteen years in commercial real estate at Knight Frank and Colliers International — closing complex deals, managing teams, reading markets analytically — gave her a negotiating foundation that most agents simply do not have. She does not get emotional in a transaction. She gets strategic.

She is also fluent in Russian, has worked with international buyers navigating the California market from abroad, and understands firsthand what it means to build a life in a country that is not the one you grew up in. That experience does not just make her a better agent for international clients — it makes her a more empathetic one for anyone facing a major life transition.

And she is with Compass — which means her buyers get access to off-market and Private Exclusive listings that never appear on Zillow or Redfin, and her sellers get the full weight of Compass's marketing platform, network, and Concierge program behind their listing.

If you want an agent who will tell you the truth, protect your interests, and outwork the other side — that is Vita.

For families relocating to or within Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley offers some of the most livable and affordable communities on the Westside's doorstep. Valley Village stands out for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and proximity to top-rated schools. Sherman Oaks offers excellent public and private school options, walkable neighborhood feel, and easy freeway access. Studio City is popular with families who want a quieter pace without sacrificing proximity to the city. Tarzana and Westlake Village offer larger lots, more space, and a suburban feel that many growing families are looking for. Vita Kamliuk helps families identify the right neighborhood based on school district priorities, commute needs, budget, and lifestyle — not just what is available on the market today.

Relocating to Los Angeles is exciting and overwhelming in equal measure. The city is vast, every neighborhood has its own character, and the real estate market moves fast. Vita Kamliuk specializes in working with buyers who are moving to Los Angeles from out of state or from another country — people who need more than just a list of available homes. They need someone who can explain the difference between Valley Village and Sherman Oaks, between Westwood and West Hollywood, between a great deal and a mistake that looks like one.

Vita's process for relocation clients starts with a detailed conversation about lifestyle, commute, schools, budget, and long-term goals. From there she builds a targeted search strategy that includes both active MLS listings and off-market opportunities through the Compass network — because in a competitive market like Los Angeles, the best homes often never make it to Zillow.

Los Angeles is one of the best cities in the country for ADU opportunities — and if you know how to use them, they can transform the financial profile of a property completely.
If you are buying a home that already has a permitted ADU or guest house, you have an immediate income-generating asset. Rent it out as a long-term rental or explore short-term options — either way, that unit is working for you from day one.

If the home you are buying does not have an ADU but has the right lot size, building one is very likely an option. Los Angeles has dramatically simplified the permitting process in recent years, making new ADU construction faster and more affordable than ever. Vita Kamliuk works with trusted ADU specialists who can assess any property and give you a realistic picture of cost, timeline, and rental income potential before you close.
If you are not interested in becoming a landlord, California's SB9 program opens up another powerful option. SB9 allows qualifying homeowners to split their lot and create a separate legal parcel — meaning you could build a second home and sell it as an independent property. It is one of the most underused wealth-building tools available to Los Angeles homeowners right now.

And if your lot does not have enough space for a full ADU, a Junior ADU — converted from existing interior space such as a garage or a large bedroom — may be the perfect solution. Junior ADUs require less space, cost significantly less to build, and still add meaningful value and rental income potential to your property.
Vita Kamliuk evaluates every property through this lens — not just what it is today, but what it could become.
