Maureen Erbe and partner Henry Blackham are a realty team specializing in buying and selling architectural and design-centric properties in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs. Erbe+Blackham also restore and renovate properties for resale through their company Revisioned Homes. They represent sellers and buyers and bring 30 years of experience in real estate transactions, architecture, renovation, interior design, and marketing.

Erbe+Blackham’s properties have been featured in the LA Times, Curbed, Wallpaper, This Old House, and in the film, Mid-Century Moderns: The Homes That Define Palm Springs. They have represented properties by noted architects including William Krisel, John Pugsley, Smith + Williams, Theodore Pletsch, and Robert Finkelhor–all styles of architecture from Spanish Revival to midcentury modern and contemporary.

Erbe+Blackham help their clients in all aspects of buying and selling–from prepping properties for sale to staging. For sellers, they can help package and present a property to realize its maximum potential. For buyers, they provide a vision and a strategy to help find the perfect home. They love people as much as architecture and thrive on bringing the two together–matching people to the right properties.

Erbe currently serves on the Board of Directors of Palm Springs Modernism Week and is also Curator of Modernism Week’s Signature Home Tours. She too is on the Benefit Committee for the LA Conservancy. Maureen is founder of Erbe Design, an award-winning branding design firm she operated for 25 years prior to making her passion for architecture and real estate her full-time focus. A marathon runner and avid collector of whatever catches her eye, Erbe graduated Cum Laude in Design from UCLA and continued her education at Art Center College of Design.

Henry is a graduate of Art Center College of Design and spent many years as a busy advertising photographer before turning his part time passion for architecture, design, and real estate into his  full-time career. They believe a home is the world we create for ourselves, and take pride in matching the right people to the right property and providing the vision and road map to maximize the possibilities.

Client Testimonials

“When they were done prepping, staging, photographing, and preparing the marketing materials, I hardly recognized my own house on the website. We had already moved to Seattle, and Henry and Maureen took care of everything–painting, new flooring, new kitchen cabinetry, and staging. Our place sold quickly and at a price that created a new benchmark.” ~ Kirti and Manu, Sellers, Pasadena

“Henry and Maureen did what others could not have done. They presented our property in a special way and sold it right away for top dollar. They helped us prep the  property for sale, guided us through a mini renovation and estate sale, and staged our architectural midcentury. Henry’s negotiating skills made the deal happen, and he always kept our best interests the priority. They had a plan and a vision, and we benefitted from their sage advice.” ~ Waynn + Holly, Sellers, Pasadena

“I was ready to sell, but didn’t know where to begin. I was overwhelmed! Henry and Maureen strategized a game plan, helped get my home cleaned up, de-cluttered, and staged. The house got on the market at peak season and sold right away. They were always there for me. I could not have done it without them.” ~ Barbara, Seller, Pasadena

“I am an architect, and I knew I wanted a fixer, but wasn’t sure what area I wanted to live in. Henry and Maureen helped me evaluate my priorities and showed me properties in different neighborhoods. Their experience in renovation, estimating and architecture helped me decide which property to go with. They navigated the complicated negotiations and even interrupted their vacation to make a timely offer and seal the deal.” ~ Karl, Buyer, West Los Angeles

“As a first-time homebuyer, they helped me in every aspect of the process, ensuring it was the right property for me, evaluating inspection reports, overseeing repairs, and even consulted on moving in. They are a wealth of information and resources and was always eager to help.” ~ Matt, Buyer, Pasadena

“Henry and Maureen are architecture and design people. Their passion and knowledge is evident in their restorations. I bought one of their William Krisel homes, and I was taken by the attention to detail and care. It was the only house I looked at, and I immediately knew that I wanted to be its caretaker.” ~ David, Buyer, Palm Springs
