What Keller Williams-Hollywood Hills does

The Sunset Team (operating under Keller Williams-Hollywood Hills) is a Los Angeles-based luxury real estate boutique co-led by Alex Lombardo and Roberto Seixas. The firm has served buyers, sellers, and property developers in the West Hollywood, Beverly Grove, and Hollywood Hills submarkets for over 25 years, and has expanded its service geography to include Beverly Hills, Palm Springs, Sherman Oaks, Silver Lake, and Manhattan Beach. Core offerings include seller representation, buyer advocacy, and developer services supported by an in-house design capability delivered through sister company La Kaza, LLC. The team operates as a licensed agent team under the Compass brokerage (CA DRE# 01991628), leveraging Compass's technology platform, a nationwide network of 34,000 agents, and two Compass-sourced product programs: Compass Concierge (home improvement financing deferred until closing) and Compass Private Exclusives (pre-market listings).

The team's stated technology layer centers on AI-powered marketing strategies used to track and analyze market responses in real time, enabling data-driven pricing modifications during escrow. Distribution is multi-channel, combining a Squarespace-hosted website (thesunsetteam.com), email newsletters, social media, professional photography, and client referrals. The team has earned media features in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Robb Report, and The Real Deal, supporting its positioning in the high-end contemporary luxury segment.

The business is a private for-profit entity earning traditional real estate commissions on completed buyer and seller transactions. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds are reported, and ownership is centered on the two lead agents. The firm does not operate a standalone app, API, or SDK; technology is consumed through the Compass platform. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 range, and the team is actively operating with current listings and client services.
