Yasmine
Benmaiza

Originally from Paris, Yasmine Benmaiza brings an international perspective, entrepreneurial background, and highly personalized approach to Los Angeles luxury real estate. Working alongside leading luxury agent Zac Mostame at Carolwood Estates, Yasmine represents buyers and sellers across Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Malibu, and the greater Westside.

Yasmine and Zac represented the seller of 10301 Strathmore Drive in its $20.3 million sale, setting a new record as the highest residential sale ever recorded in Little Holmby. The landmark transaction reflects Yasmine’s experience navigating significant properties, discerning clientele, and highly competitive luxury markets.

A key focus of Yasmine’s business is identifying opportunities that are not readily available to the broader market. Through an extensive network of agents, homeowners, developers, and private contacts, she works closely with clients to uncover exceptional off-market and pre-market properties throughout Los Angeles. She is particularly passionate about the search process, taking the time to understand not simply what a client is looking to purchase, but how they want to live, and finding the property that truly feels right.

With a client base that extends well beyond Los Angeles, Yasmine frequently works with international buyers and investors seeking access to the city’s most desirable neighborhoods and properties. Having lived across Europe, North Africa, Asia, and the United States, she understands the nuances of working across cultures, countries, and time zones. Fluent in four languages, she is able to connect naturally with clients from diverse backgrounds and provide the level of accessibility and discretion expected in high-end real estate.

Before entering real estate, Yasmine built a multidisciplinary career spanning banking, technology, entrepreneurship, and design. She co-founded Frenchy Digital, a Forbes-featured, women-owned software company with extensive work in healthcare technology. Her experience in technology and business sharpened the strategic thinking, negotiation skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability that she now brings to every real estate transaction. Her background in interior design and the renovation of residential and hospitality properties in Paris also gives her a sophisticated eye for architecture, design, construction potential, and value.

Yasmine approaches every client relationship with a long-term perspective. Whether representing a seller of an important estate, sourcing a private residence for an international buyer, or searching quietly for an off-market opportunity, she is deeply invested in understanding her clients’ priorities and protecting their interests. Her approach is personal, strategic, discreet, and highly responsive.

Working closely alongside Zac Mostame has further immersed Yasmine in some of Los Angeles’ most significant luxury transactions and has given her invaluable exposure to the relationships, strategy, and market intelligence required at the highest level of the business.

Above all, Yasmine believes luxury real estate is ultimately about finding the right fit. Her goal is not simply to complete a transaction, but to connect each client with a property and opportunity that genuinely aligns with their lifestyle, vision, and long-term goals.

Outside of real estate, Yasmine enjoys traveling, discovering wine, design, and salsa dancing.
