About Izabell Manukyan

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.

Since 2010, Katya Chavez has been exploring her passion for real estate through a variety of roles. While she’s partial to architecture, her determination and personal work philosophies have guided her to share her insight as one of JohnHart Real Estate’s Marketing Managers, supported by her Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing and Management from California State University, Northridge. Katya works closely with her agents toward consistent daily wins facilitated by her peerless work ethic.

Serving a diverse roster of agents, Katya strives to connect with each professional on a personal level so she can adapt her marketing style to their specific needs. Frequently easing the creative process with her well-timed sense of humor, she enjoys the fast-paced environment of real estate marketing, including its seemingly limitless potential for business growth. Ultimately, she lives by the principle of treating others the way she’d like to be treated; a policy that lends itself to her steady track record of success.

Having grown up in West Los Angeles, Katya enjoys hiking the city’s scenic trails with her morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) and her boyfriend before trying their luck in the kitchen where she swears their culinary creations are improving each day!

Heather Moran views creative marketing as much more than just “selling something” but rather a distinct art form. It’s a philosophy she adheres to while she dreams up new ways to help our agents reach their audiences in fun, yet thought-provoking ways as JohnHart’s Digital Media Manager. Having worked in the real estate industry since 2019, Heather’s design talent and creative passion saw her quickly rise from Graphic Designer/Marketing Coordinator to Lead Design Manager to Director of Marketing and Branding for a regional company encompassing 11 busy brokerages. Her diverse responsibilities ran the spectrum of marketing including creating print materials, signs, and digital assets; developing agent and team logos and branding materials; and advancing campaign strategies.

She also found time to lend her design and marketing expertise in a freelance capacity by designing merchandise, creating logos and branding, and even managing social media marketing for a diverse roster of clients from real estate agents to entertainers… even businesses in the food industry. While still living in her hometown of Toledo, Ohio, she provided program, event, and exhibition marketing to the world-renowned Toledo Museum of Art while developing engagement strategies targeted to their specific audiences.

Heather understands the way people learn; a skill that allows her to establish meaningful connections. She regards education as another form of marketing since teaching allows her to communicate ideas and information to a targeted audience, reaching them in engaging ways that resonate.

When not analyzing what motivates people and establishing profound connections, Heather can often be found lined up with friends waiting her turn at the nearest karaoke night. Her exploration of creativity spans beyond the digital world as she regularly immerses herself in makeup artistry (glam and special effects) as well as a diversity of DIY projects (especially home decor). She also enjoys trying new restaurants and getting some sun by roller skating by the beach. And if you see her with her earbuds in, it’s a safe bet she’s listening to a murder mystery podcast.

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.

Having spent over a decade in creative roles across a variety of industries, Seth brings with him vast experience in SEO practices, digital marketing, and all manner of professional writing with particular strength in blogging, content creation, and brand building. 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.

As our Head of Talent Acquisition, Genevieve DeLeon incorporates a myriad of styles she’s learned over her storied career in roles as diverse as Recruiting and Training Manager, Human Resources Generalist, Recruiter, Talent Development Manager, and Payroll Service. It’s a method that challenges her to constantly evolve her management style as she incorporates new techniques that she observes in mentors and leaders, allowing her to pass on similar teachings as a mentor herself. Collaboration is at the core of Genevieve’s work dynamic as she carefully assesses the office environment before determining whether to pivot in a new direction or stay the course. Through it all, she maintains a discerning focus on pushing the team and the business to new heights of success.

Genevieve had the rare luck of falling into the career she loves seemingly by chance while following her unwavering passion for people. Working as a single mother in the San Fernando Valley, she accepted a temporary receptionist role for Kaiser Permanente. But when the leadership team recognized her vast potential, they challenged her with heightened responsibilities and advancements, propelling her forward through a career that continued to underscore her love for helping others thrive and excel, including the professionals she hired, the staff she trained, and the co-workers who worked by her side. This zest for inspiring professional growth has guided Genevieve through mom-and-pop businesses and start-ups to massive corporations. Through it all, people remain at the heart of her mission. Attracted by the unique structure and dynamics of JohnHart, Genevieve is invigorated by the opportunities to apply her experience to an innovative, fast-paced office environment that continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

In her free time, Genevieve loves to travel, exploring the natural side of new locations instead of focusing solely on the tourist spots. She also cherishes every moment she spends with her granddaughters.

Versatility is at the heart of Niko Mendez’s success as a videographer bringing real estate marketing to dynamic life for JohnHart. Over his years of experience, he’s navigated a multitude of environments, pivoting his approach to bring his subjects naturally into the spotlight. Whether he’s interviewing renowned athletes, directing high profile talent, or using his discerning lens to illuminate a hidden gem of a story, Niko uses his personability to make it a comfortable experience.

Having grown up in the “little-big” town of Austin, Texas, Niko still harbors a strong affinity for southern culture. He moved to Los Angeles in 2016 where he continued to work with his first love: music. He’d gone to college for sound engineering, a skill that artfully carries over into his videography work. With his masterful merging of sound and vision, Niko manages to find what’s truly compelling in a subject and emotionally communicate this to a targeted audience.

In his free time, Niko enjoys connecting with animals and immersing himself in the natural world. He also still holds a strong love for the music industry, particularly artist management. Since he’s already an experienced content-creator, he can truly appreciate the huge role that marketing plays in building the public perception of an artist.
