Abigail Dotson
Founder, hearthLA Group / Partner, Maisonre / Realtor®
After several years as a teacher, I became a mom in 2002 and recognized the need for a career change. As a single mom with a child to care for, real estate seemed like a practical move, and as it turns out, it combined my love of art, business and community service. My lawyer brain loved the challenge of strategy and the adrenaline of the deal; the teacher in me thrived on holding my clients’ hands through each step of the transaction. Similarly to how I engaged with my students, I strive to give my clients an abundance of one-on-one time and answer each and every question they have during the length of our working relationship and beyond. I understand the importance each transaction holds for my clients and am committed to every deal with sincerity and focus. Finally, the artist in me appreciated the opportunity to spend my days visiting the varied and interesting homes that make up the landscape I had spent my entire lifetime wandering.
A native Angeleno, I have lived in nearly every borough Los Angeles has to offer. From Manhattan Beach, to Westwood, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Mid City, Echo Park and Highland Park, this city has been my home for over 40 years, three children, and all of the homes I have helped clients buy and sell since 2004.
Los Angeles is my home. Let me help you find yours.

Jessica Webb-Simpson
Realtor® / Design Consultant
I joined the hearthLA team in 2018 after a 20 year career in Wardrobe Styling. When I realized it was time to move on I found the transition to real estate to be a natural choice. My years in production helped hone my eye for design, communication skills and the ability to multi task, which are all so necessary in this profession.
I started off with the team as a design consultant, helping clients prepare their homes to list and knew this was the right career choice for me. I am grateful to have found a profession where I can combine my passion for design, architecture and an enduring love of community.
Whether you are buying or selling it can be an emotional journey. I strive to make the process flow with ease and facilitate clear and supportive communication with all of my clients.

Leah Carr
Realtor® / Salesperson / Referral Agent
I was born in Michigan but celebrated my first birthday as a SoCal resident. I grew up in Thousand Oaks as 1 of 4 kids in a family full of artists and musicians. As a family we were always sightseeing and admiring the beauty of Los Angeles. I’ve always had a tourist mindset which has led me to discover so many unique corners within LA as well as the surrounding neighborhoods.
I’ve worked in film and brand marketing for the last several years. After dipping into real estate marketing I became fascinated by the industry and how every house has a unique story to tell. As someone who loves meeting new people and thrives on building lasting connections, this felt like the best career shift for me. With my background in marketing and project management, I strive to make the process of buying/selling as stress free as possible for my clients.
When I’m not working you'll most likely see me out and about with my Goldendoodle Chip, shopping for craft supplies, or creating music with my partner.

Breanna Lee
Realtor® / Salesperson
Born and raised in Minnesota, I made my way out to LA in 2007 to pursue a career in music. As a singer, I have been deeply rooted in the music industry and lucky to have worked amongst some of my most favorite people. Growing up, I always had a passion for design and real estate. The aesthetics and quirks of a home have fascinated me since I was young, and the same creative edge that drew me to music has found a similar outlet in the art of our cities eclectic architecture. I love being able to help people find their dream home; the place they will grow roots for years to come and make beautiful memories. I am beyond grateful and excited to be joining hearthLA - this wonderful group of creative people makes me feel right at home!

Sonia Nevlin
Realtor® / Agent
Born and raised in East Hollywood, I have a deep love for this city and its eclectic neighborhoods. Growing up, my family moved a lot, so I have a keen sense of the many wonderful pockets that comprise this beautiful metropolis. After graduating from Otis College of Art and Design and working as an Assistant Set Decorator in Film, TV and Commercials, I landed in North East Los Angeles, where my wife and I purchased our first home over 10 years ago. I know first-hand that although it can be a stressful process, it is also one of the greatest sources of pride, which, along with my mother's gentle pushing, is what inspired my interest in Real Estate. I am excited to help people take this leap for themselves, their families and their future and am honored to be able to do so under a specialized neighborhood agency such as Maisonre. When I'm not working, you can find me slow-sipping my way through town at various NELA coffee shops and parks with my wife, our daughter and dog.
