August has been a busy month at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. We’re proud to announce the addition of five new agents to our team. Please join us in welcoming Doni Corcoran, Dennis Bermeo, John Mommertz, Kathleen Feighan and Jim Wallace.
Doni was raised by a family of real estate investors and spent her childhood evaluating the physical condition and market value of potential properties. “Real estate was the main topic of our dinner conversations growing up and it has always been my passion,” notes Corcoran, a native San Diegan. “I am eager about the chance to share my understanding of property valuation and the local housing market for the benefit of my clients.”
Since his entry into real estate six years ago, Dennis Bermeo has excelled as a result of his diligence in working to secure optimal results for his clients, focus on ethical business practices and proficiency with negotiating. He also credits the enthusiasm and analytical skills he applies to help his clients identify their wants and needs.

Proudly offered by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties agents Simon Salloom and Tyson Park, for $7.995 million
Nestled on a hillside overlooking the Los Angeles basin, the Wolff Residence offers dramatic city views that span to the ocean. The residence was designed by John Lautner, FAIA, as his only homage to his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright and is often regarded by many architectural experts and aficionados as his finest work. The residence is an engineering tour de force marked by its use of geometric shapes and large scale, complemented by the extensive use of the architect’s signature Bouquet Canyon stone and hardwoods.
Surrounded by mature trees and set on an oversized lot with an extensive landscape design, the home was designed to merge seamlessly into the natural landscape. A beautiful example of Lautner’s uncompromising vision, the residence features a spectacular central atrium built around a large eucalyptus tree. The atrium is flanked by a dramatic stone “fortress” wall that was built at 45 degree angles so that it would support itself against seismic activity. In the adjacent living room, a wall of 16.5’ floor-to-ceiling windows and doors deliver breathtaking views of Los Angeles.
“This is an internationally renowned property by John Lautner, one of the most important figures in American architecture,” notes Salloom. “It is more than a house; it is one of the most important residences in the world ever offered for sale. The Wolff Residence represents a time when architects like Lautner were able to create uncompromising designs that would be difficult and/or cost prohibitive to build today.”
