In 2011, Courtney Poulos founded ACME Real Estate to challenge the conventional brokerage model — a female-fronted, design-savvy firm where clients came first and agents were trained to think like creative entrepreneurs, not corporate salespeople. Over the past fifteen years, ACME became one of the most respected boutique brokerages in Los Angeles: a place where editorial-quality marketing, hands-on mentorship, and an unapologetic commitment to quality over quantity set the standard.

SERHANT. noticed.

In 2026, ACME Real Estate was invited to join SERHANT.— the most followed real estate brokerage in the world and the creators of Brokerage 3.0 — as founding members. The partnership was a natural fit: two brands built by disruptors who believe the industry should work harder for the people it serves. Courtney didn’t go looking for a bigger brokerage. SERHANT. came to ACME because of the caliber of representation, the strength of the brand, and the team behind it. ACME came to SERHANT. on the power of Ryan Serhant’s vision, innovation, and visibility.

Our clients now have access to SERHANT. Studios’ film-quality content, the ADX listing exposure platform, and an international buyer network — all while working with the same agents and the same ethos that made ACME different from the start.

We keep it curated. Client-centric. Transformational.

Experience representation as it was meant to be — human.
