DRE# 01975821
For the better part of the last decade, Tracey has enjoyed her “newest” career – helping people find their place in the world. Coming from a theater and film production background and being a serial entrepreneur, real estate was a natural progression… Understanding and translating the story of a home to potential buyers, putting together a team of vendors and managing the process of getting a home “show ready” for sale, or helping clients navigate the often emotional process of buying and selling what is likely their biggest asset, Tracey has found a way to combine all of her skills while also nurturing and taking care of her clientele.
Tracey and Tiffany have worked hand in hand for the past six years and became business partners in the spring of 2019. Together they now run a team of dynamic agents who all live, work, volunteer and play on the West Side of Los Angeles, and who is ranked in the top one percent Nationwide in Sales by Volume by the Wall Street Journal’s REal Trends. The core of their business, though, remains the careful attention to and tending of their clients – it’s not about t deal, it’s about the people.
Heavily involved in the community, Tracey has been an active member and leader of several public school Parent/Teacher associations, sits on the Board of “Better With Books”, a literacy non-profit, supports several arts advocacy organizations, and volunteers her time with the celebrated LAUSD program, “Young Storytellers”.

Hailing from the East Coast, Alex obtained a Bachelors Degree in Finance and Wealth Management from Coastal Carolina University. He then relocated to California where his interest in architectural design provoked his desire to pursue a career in real estate. Prior to working with Sabine, Alex was an assistant to Michael Springer, where he worked on both the buying and selling side as well as a number of commercial deals, obtaining a multifaceted understanding of all aspects of a real estate transaction. In 2016, Alex joined Sabine Gebser’s team, where his ability to remain composed and even-keeled under pressure has made him an invaluable asset.
Being born and raised in rural Vermont had a direct influence on Alex’s love and enthusiasm for the outdoors. Whether solo or with friends, he enjoys almost any activity that nature can provide such as biking, snowboarding, or lounging in his hammock up in the mountains. His infectious smile and outgoing energy continue to bring a positive vibe to the office, their clients, and the world of real estate.

DRE# 01815152
Louis spent the last 14 years building and operating one of LA’s top brokerages, acting as a founding partner and growing the team from one employee to over 80. Leveraging his versatile expertise and penchant for hard work, he led the group to unimaginable heights, capturing roughly 25% of the city’s market share in their footprint and getting ranked the #2 real estate team in the nation by The Wall Street Journal.
Through that journey, Louis discovered that working directly with real estate clients—and offering tailored guidance aimed at driving specific long-term wealth-building objectives—is where he’s most fulfilled. Now that he’s a partner at the Tiffany Rochelle Group at Compass, Louis is free to place the majority of his focus on providing one-on-one real estate service. Home buyers and sellers with a wide range of goals would be hard-pressed to find a more conscientious advocate with a proven ability to deliver.
Raised in Cambridge, MA by a family of contractors and craftsmen, Louis Leal began learning about homes at a very young age, going on to make his first real estate investment at the age of 19—and, as a result, getting an immersion course of sorts in the nuances of property management. Innately entrepreneurial, he was eager to master the financial aspect of business, so he subsequently earned degrees in Economics and Finance at UMass Boston. Armed with the experience he gained working at Boston’s premier comprehensive financial planning firm—not to mention, a genuine passion for architecture and building things—Louis quickly realized that real estate was a logical career path.
Given his affinity for the outdoors and action sports, he couldn’t resist the magnetic allure of Southern California. So in 1998, he made the move to Venice, purchasing a home in the beloved city he now calls home together with his wife and son. Outside of work, Louis enjoys hiking, woodworking, spending time with his family, and meeting the many inspiring creatives who he believes make LA’s Westside the best place in the world to live.
