Since 2005, Izabell Manukyan has been devoting her unparalleled client service, marketing savvy, and vast knowledge of diverse housing markets to elevating people to their loftiest residential real estate goals. She balances her razor sharp negotiation skills with a burgeoning network of 2000 agents, long-time clients, vendors and industry connections, artfully orchestrating wins for her clients with a marked confidence.
Though she was born in Armenia, Izabell grew up in Hollywood. As an adult, she’s lived in neighborhoods including North Hollywood, Studio City, Burbank, and Glendale, lending to her discerning expertise in the city’s various housing markets. Her natural inclination for sterling service and careful consideration of individuals’ needs shone through as she achieved her Bachelors of Science in Human Resources. After working for some time as a corporate human resources officer, Izabell felt that her outgoing, courageous spirit could better serve people’s real estate needs. So, in 2005, she handily obtained her license. Today, she still adores every aspect of real estate: delivering keys, hunting for the perfect property, and keeping her clients informed and educated with her contagious enthusiasm. It’s likely why she has so many referrals and repeat clients!
In her personal life, Izabell is the proud mother of 2 great boys, cherishing every moment spent in their company. She’s also a consummate host, taking every opportunity to entertain guests at her home. Passionate about her community, Izabell remains actively involved with several charities in Los Angeles County and beyond.

Alice Ananyan
- Agent Liaison | DRE #01930411
Prior to coming to JohnHart, Alice worked at a number of places, specializing in customer service. While she has worked at many places previously it was at an unlikely place that she developed and learned the most: Nordstrom. Though retail seems like a strange place to gain business/real world experience, in her 11 years there she learned how to deal with many different types of people in many different situations.
She found that by creating trust and gaining customer respect, she was able to grow her customer base tremendously, and through working with many different employees, she was able to hone her management skills.
As a Transaction Coordinator she is responsible for maintaining relationships with outside agents, and her previous experiences have trained her well for this.

Ernie Cordova
- Marketing Manager
Driven to balance eye-catching marketing with efficient systems, JohnHart’s Marketing Manager Ernie Cordova is all about finding the best way to accomplish a goal, and then making it even better. He’s served as a top marketing director for a leading (by closed volume) real estate team at a globally-recognized firm. Working as a regional tech instructor for the same brokerage, he helped agents adopt corporate best practices and systems. At times, he was innovating project management as a Senior Marketing Strategist. Other times, he was mentoring agents, helping them to develop skills within an established framework. Influenced by great leaders who never rest on their laurels after an accomplishment, Ernie is a natural fit for balancing JohnHart’s company culture of innovation and its system-based structures.
Ernie was born and raised in Anaheim, allowing him an extra dimension of hyperlocal perspective that he uses to help his agents guide their marketing efforts. He officially started applying his skills to the real estate industry in 2016, though his career path guided him to roles at an agency and an apparel company while still focusing on marketing and strategy. Working for an agency allowed Ernie to build upon his experience in a fast-paced, high-demand environment while learning how to drive conversions outside of the limitations of real estate. A firm believer in the power of homeownership, Ernie was always drawn to return to the industry in some capacity. Having obtained his real estate sales license, he now uses his familiarity to tighten JohnHart’s systems and build new, reliable structures that lead to more transactions and greater sales volume.
In his free time, Ernie enjoys getting out into nature and staying active through hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping. He also takes his coaching skills into the field, training both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling. On the rare occasion that he’s a spectator, you can find him cheering on his lifelong favorites, the Ducks.

Seth Styles
- Senior Copywriter
With a brand that says as much as JohnHart’s, Senior Copywriter Seth Styles never finds himself at a loss for words. Responsible for maintaining the voice of the company, he spends each day drafting marketing materials, blogs, bios, and agent resources that speak from the company’s collective mind and Hart… errr, heart.

Gratitude, passion, and sincerity remain core tenets of his unwavering work ethic. The landscape of the industry changes daily, paralleling JohnHart’s efforts to {re}define real estate, but Seth works to maintain the company’s consistent message while offering both agents and clients a new echelon of service.
When not preserving the JohnHart essence in stirring copy, Seth puts his efforts into writing and illustrating an ongoing series entitled The Death of Romance. In addition, he adores spending quality time with his girlfriend and Romeo (his long-haired chihuahua mix), watching ‘70s and ‘80s horror movies, and reading (with a particular penchant for Victorian horror novels and authors Yukio Mishima and Bret Easton Ellis). He also occasionally records music as the vocalist and songwriter for his glam rock band, Peppermint Pumpkin.

Keith Weiner
- Head of Product Distribution
JohnHart’s Head of Product Distribution, Keith Weiner, dreams of a simpler way for agents to communicate the wealth of opportunities at their fingertips. It’s why he’s committed himself to streamlining long-established workflows, elevating the quality of digital media production across our brokerage’s full spectrum of innovative services.
Keith came to JohnHart after years in a multitude of diverse fields, but at the core of each experience, he found that his true passion was for creative storytelling. As the next chapter in a career that has spanned many industries, he looks toward real estate as an incredible opportunity with limitless potential.
In 2013, he left the familiarity of New England for the sunny shores of California in pursuit of a career in digital media. After moving to LA, Keith’s life changed forever when he fell for a beautiful and passionate Los Angeleno. In April 2022, Keith and Michelle made it official, and every day he wakes feeling inspired by his partner’s resilience and drive.
Keith has learned that his “true north” points toward fostering a supportive environment for those with whom he works. This philosophy creates a contagious positivity that guides his leadership style and seemingly bottomless hunger to create compelling stories that resonate with desired audiences.
Keith has lofty aspirations for JohnHart’s future, particularly in how our agents market their properties and how the company as a whole continues its upward trajectory of innovation to stay ahead of the competition. And, as the human embodiment of “when there’s a will, there’s a way”, Keith knows that often, an idea is all you really need.
