Colin Aita

Elevating Luxury Real Estate in the South Bay

Thank you for visiting. If you’re here, you’re likely looking for a real estate professional who understands the nuances of the South Bay’s luxury market—someone who listens, strategizes, and delivers results with precision.

I take tremendous pride in being that person. My mission is simple: to provide a luxury real estate experience for every client—whether you're selling your family home, purchasing your first property, or investing in a premier coastal estate. No matter the price point, my commitment remains the same: to deliver personalized service, expert guidance, and a seamless, stress-free transaction.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

Born in Los Angeles, raised in Northern California but drawn back to LA in 2001, I quickly fell in love with the coastal lifestyle that makes the South Bay one of the most desirable places to live. As a longtime resident, father of two in local schools and a volunteer AYSO and Little League coach for 10+ years, I have deep-rooted connections in this community, from its stunning oceanfront properties to its thriving active and social scene.

A Competitive Edge in Real Estate

Before starting my real estate career, I played shortstop at USF and spent three years in Independent Minor League Baseball, where I honed my competitive drive, discipline, and ability to perform under pressure. My experience living in Australia—playing baseball while bartending at a Rugby Club—taught me the value of adaptability and connection.

Today, I bring that same winning mindset to my real estate practice. Whether negotiating the best terms for my sellers or helping buyers secure their dream home, I approach every transaction with strategy, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

More Than a Transaction—A Relationship

Luxury real estate is not just about properties; it’s about lifestyle, legacy, and investment. I understand that selling or buying a home is a deeply personal experience, and my goal is to make it as effortless as possible. From the first conversation to the final handshake (or celebratory hug), I am dedicated to 'Treating You Like Family' and ensuring your real estate journey is both rewarding and stress-free.

I am laser focused on every buyer and seller, regardless of their journey or goals, experiencing the highest level of service and attention. Whether navigating the sale of a cherished family home or helping first-time buyers find their dream residence, I treat every client with the same care and commitment, delivering a truly exceptional experience.

If you're considering selling or buying in the South Bay, I’d love to connect.

"Colin did a phenomenal job for me as a first-time buyer in the South Bay Area. His expertise, guidance, and counsel were invaluable throughout the transaction, including navigating a complicated sales process. He only had my best interests in mind throughout, raising issues as he saw them, even if it meant I might walk away from the transaction. I didn't know Colin beforehand but he was referred to me and I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a well-credentialed, honest, and experienced realtor."

"I highly recommend Colin Aita for representation on both the buy side and the sell side of a home. I find Colin very unique in his profession in that he is always sincere and honest, he pays close attention to detail, and he always places my interests above his. I met Colin at an open house during my first day looking for a new home in Manhattan Beach. He was affable, courteous, and sincere from the start, and he stood out that first day among all the agents whom I met in that I felt no pressure from Colin. When I found a home that I wanted, I reached out to Colin and I was impressed with his knowledge of the history of the home. When Colin and I met to discuss a strategy for making an offer, I was once again impressed with the homework he had done in examining comps and justifying what he felt would be a fair offer price. While we curiously had the same figure in mind in terms of an initial offer price, I ended up months later paying closer to asking as I saw the house as a long-term investment. At several points throughout the buying process, Colin pressed me to make sure I was comfortable moving forward and I appreciated that very much as it was always about me and never him. I felt that I could have dropped out of escrow at any time and he would not have batted an eye. I also knew that I had found a Manhattan Beach agent for life, regardless of whether I made that first purchase, as he had gained my trust completely. After buying that first home as a long-term investment, life circumstances were such that I had to contemplate selling after living in the home for a few short months. In discussions with Colin throughout that next year, I never felt any pressure to sell, even though Colin spent a lot of time helping me navigate the new landscape of potentially selling a home during COVID. When I did finally decide to sell, Colin was instrumental in drumming up enough interest for me to not only make my money back on a house for which I felt I had overpaid but for me to make a profit. Colin worked tirelessly on my behalf to allow me to sell at asking, all the while also creating a competitive backup offer situation that allowed me to stand firm with my price. I think it is rare, in any profession, to find an individual such as Colin Aita who acts with honesty, integrity, patience, and sincere concern for his clients. I highly recommend Colin for both sides of your real estate transaction."

"Colin’s the best agent we’ve ever had. He helped us buy our home and make money on it just 3 years later. We had 3 offers in less than 24 hours and were able to accept an offer way over asking! He’s incredibly responsive, helpful, hardworking, and knowledgeable. He guided us through every step of what can be a difficult process and had answers to our questions before we asked them. Can’t recommend him enough!"

"There are plenty of great agents in the South Bay, but Colin Aita takes greatness to a whole different level of greatness. He was beyond responsive, and ethical and had the connections needed to help us formulate the winning bid in a very competitive South Bay real estate market. With such as massive investment, we required someone who would work as openly and honestly with us from start to finish and beyond. There was not a single moment that Colin wasn't there for my family to make the process purely seamless from the jump to finish. His guidance exceeded all expectations, and our expectations are up there and then some. We highly recommend working with Colin for your buying and selling needs if you want the most out of your agent."

"Colin is an exceptional professional. He is highly dedicated, and his help was invaluable in our home-buying process. He listened to our needs and was highly proactive in our search with great market knowledge and insights. He started by filtering through the listings, presented only those that met our criteria, walked us through each home to understand the market alternatives, and helped develop our offer and pricing strategy. In several competitive bidding situations, he kept us grounded to ensure that our excitement would not interfere with our pricing rationale. Once our offer was accepted, he efficiently navigated us through the diligence and closing process. He did an amazing job of finding our new home during a challenging time. I highly recommend Colin and would definitely retain him for my future real estate needs."

"Colin Aita is an ideal realtor. I first contacted Colin a couple of years ago when I was casually contemplating a move. Even before I was ready to commit to relocating, Colin was responsive and cheerful, always eager to assist me in my soft search. When I was finally ready to take the plunge, Colin helped me purchase my new home from out of town, sight unseen. Thanks to Colin, we found a beautiful home within my limited budget that ticked all my must-have boxes. I am very grateful for Colin's attentive support throughout this entire process."

"Colin is our trusted adviser for real estate. Having helped me buy my first home several years ago he more recently led and executed the sale of this home as we had outgrown it quicker than anticipated, and purchased a bigger property in the neighborhood. His hard work, guidance, flexibility, and negotiation skills helped us successfully execute both the sale and purchase - both at fair prices for us which was tricky to achieve in the strong market of late 2019 or early 2020 for both legs of a transaction. I've seen other reviews comment on his integrity and having known him for several years I strongly echo that sentiment. He's a great person to work with and will go above and beyond to deliver excellence for his clients."

"Look no further, Colin is the agent you want to work with. I bought my first house using an online agent and thought that I would never use a real agent again. Then I met Colin. Colin was amazing to work with: responsive, and honest, and he worked harder to find us our home than anyone else. He showed us more off-market and non-listed properties than anyone else and really knew our target neighborhood well. Colin was with us every step of the way during escrow. Navigating through everything during COVID-19 was challenging, but he helped make it more manageable and we couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else. Now that we're settled into our new place, I actually miss talking with him on an almost daily basis. I actually consider him a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of my family and friends."

"Look no further, Colin is the agent you want to work with.

Buyer

"As first-time home buyers, we were so thankful to have Colin as our agent to help guide us through the process. He was an excellent resource and offered helpful suggestions with everything from our mortgage, a handyman, floor repair, and inspections, and simplified everything for us along the way through the offer to escrow and after we closed. I can’t say enough great things about working with Colin - it was a true pleasure. I highly recommend getting in touch with Colin for your real estate needs!"

"Colin helped me with a very challenging sale transaction and went way above and beyond to get it done. He was extremely helpful in negotiating a deal with the buyer and remained flexible and creative to get the transaction closed. He is very knowledgeable in the local area (South Bay) and was able to bring a buyer to the table through his personal relationships. I would highly recommend Colin!"

"Colin worked tirelessly showing us listings that matched our requirements including a few off-market homes we would otherwise have never known about. He helped us submit offers, referred us to a top-notch lender, and ultimately guided us successfully through the purchase of our new home. When negotiations became a challenge, Colin skillfully represented our interests assuring we received the best deal possible. After the close, Colin remains in frequent contact to assist with references for repairs and preparations for moving. This is quite a bit different than prior agents we've worked with which were quick to disappear after closing. With so many agents around it can be difficult to find one that truly differentiates them self. What sets Colin apart is that he cares. Part agent, part businessman, part therapist, a friend for life. If you've been unhappy with the prior agent's interactions, let Colin broker your next purchase."

Buyer

"We originally met Colin at an open house we attended while just casually looking for a new home. We were in no particular rush to buy but met with Colin to lay out our wish list for our next house. He was very patient and helpful, sending us listings he thought we might be interested in without being pushy. After several months, we ultimately found a house we really liked that ended up being a fairly tough negotiation, to say the least. I am entirely convinced that Colin's persistence on our behalf during the whole process is why we got the house, for what we feel is a good and fair price. Colin is extremely responsive (be it day, night, or on the weekend), enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with! Can't wait to move into our new home!"

"I can't tell you enough how lucky my wife and I were to have Colin serve as our agent. Colin not only worked hard to find the home of our dreams, he went above and beyond throughout the entire process. He was with us step-by-step during the stressful process of purchasing our first home and it didn't stop there. Colin supported us with finding a team of professionals to complete our inspections, move us, and fix the necessary items in our home prior to us moving in. Everyone Colin suggested was top-notch. In Colin, we not only found a tremendous agent who truly cares about his clients, but we also found a friend."

"I interviewed several realtors to be my listing agent when selling my condo in Santa Monica. Many claimed to be experts in the area and promised world-class marketing but when I asked them about their listing strategy, they lost me. Then I had the chance to sit down with Colin, and he approached things a bit differently. Rather than come in and tell me how great he was, he took the majority of the time to ask me questions. Why was I selling, what do I need from a realtor, what are the priorities for the sale, top dollar, timing, getting the right buyer, etc. He wanted to know what the best part about living there was, what I liked and disliked about the home if there were any downsides or challenges to the home. He took all of this information in and then addressed each one specifically. Each item was given much thought and attention, and when we were done, I felt like someone really understood what I was looking for in a realtor, what was important to me during the sales process, and ultimately how it could all be achieved successfully. Not only did we get above asking on the home, but we were able to navigate through some disclosures to the buyers that had made me nervous. We closed within 30 days, and his negotiations through the inspection process were impeccable. Colin was attentive and communicated thoroughly each step of the way helping me to feel secure during each phase of the sale from listing to closing. If you're looking for a realtor who is interested in you and your motivations to sell, rather than just getting the listing, I highly recommend Colin Aita. Thanks."

"Colin was amazing! We were looking to find a buildable lot in Manhattan Beach, but also considering other options. Colin knows the local market well and was able to bring us lots of options, including off-market properties. I was really impressed by his knowledge of the area, the properties coming onto the market, and most of all his integrity. He went above and beyond what normal agents would do to make sure we found our perfect property. Colin is also super friendly and awesome to work with, thanks Colin!"

Buyer

"Colin was our agent for the sale of our condo in Santa Monica. Our experience with him was ideal. Due to a new work opportunity, we moved out of our home to a new state before even putting the property on the market. Colin made getting the home sold remotely a breeze. He guided us in sizing up the property and market and provided some very astute pricing advice. He also played a big role in coordinating local help to get the property ready to show. Thanks in no small part to Colin's expert guidance we had a number of competitive offers after a single weekend's showing and were able to sell the home for a good price and under favorable terms. Throughout this whole process, Colin was accessible, communicative, patient, and positive. We couldn't have asked for a better agent!"
