Canyonhaus

What Canyonhaus does

Canyonhaus is a four-person luxury residential real estate team based in Los Angeles, founded in 2007 by Tori Horowitz and operating as a branded affiliate of Compass (the team's broker of record under California DRE # 01703353). The team represents buyers and sellers of architecturally distinctive properties across LA's canyons, hillside neighborhoods, and beach-to-mountain corridors, including Laurel Canyon, Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and Silver Lake. The service model is high-touch and relationship-driven, with referrals, repeat clients, and direct outreach serving as primary acquisition channels.

The team's product surface combines a core buy/sell brokerage service with the Compass Concierge program (fronting funding for 100+ pre-sale home improvement services through Notable Finance capital), an MLS-based property search portal (890+ active listings via Luxury Presence platform with IDX integration), and an online home valuation tool. The website and listing infrastructure are powered by the Luxury Presence platform, while Compass provides brokerage licensing, technology, and marketing resources.

Canyonhaus earns revenue through standard real estate commissions on completed buyer- and seller-side transactions (typical LA rates of 5–6% total, split between sides). Customer segments include luxury home buyers and sellers, design-conscious families seeking character homes, and first-time/investment buyers. The team discloses use of generative AI for marketing copy and AI-assisted client communications, but operates as a small, Compass-dependent boutique with no external funding and limited geographic reach beyond the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.
