Real Estate Agent (Broker)
Malibu CA

Paul Grisanti is a seasoned Real Estate Broker with over three decades of expertise in the Malibu region. Currently, he holds the position of Land Director at Coldwell Banker’s Malibu offices and collaborates with his wife, Sara, as Assistant Manager of the East Malibu office. His leadership skills were recognized during his four-year tenure on the Company’s President’s Committee, and he earned a place in the prestigious Chairman’s Circle of Prudential Real Estate Affiliates in 1996. Coldwell Banker has consistently acknowledged his outstanding performance, ranking him among the top 100 agents in California in 1997, 2004, 2005, and 2008. Additionally, he was appointed to the International President’s Elite for his exceptional production from 1998 to 2003. Among a network of over 64,000 sales professionals across 35 major metropolitan areas, Paul ranks among Coldwell Banker’s Top 1000 agents.

In a landmark transaction in 2005, Paul represented both the buyer and seller in the sale of a 26-acre parcel adjacent to Malibu Bluff Park, listed at $26 million. This transaction marked the largest subdivision sale in Malibu history facilitated by a single agent.

In December 1992, the Malibu Board of Realtors honored Paul as their “Realtor of the Year” for his advocacy on property rights issues affecting local homeowners before the City Council and various task forces. He was also one of the original ten members of the General Plan Task Force, which was responsible for developing the city’s General Plan, serving until January 1992 when he resigned to pursue a City Council seat.

Paul has established himself as a Subdivision Specialist, having sold several significant developments in Malibu. Notably, in 1990, he served as the listing agent for Paradise View Estates, now known as Ramirez Mesa, a gated community featuring ten lots with homes averaging 6,000 square feet on over one-acre parcels. In 1989, he facilitated the sale of a 180-acre parcel in Latigo Canyon, which was subdivided into 19 lots known as The Citadel. When the partnership sought to sell these parcels, Paul was entrusted to list them as a package. In 1998, he successfully sold the entire subdivision to a partnership that developed the gated community of Malibu Pacifica, which includes Latigo Bay View Drive and Calicut Drive. In 2001, he was selected by the developer to market the individual homes within this community.

In 2000, Paul listed a five-lot subdivision in a private gated community, now referred to as Broad Beach Lane, which comprised two 50-foot parcels, one 55-foot parcel, one 35-foot parcel, and one 200-foot parcel, all situated on the prime sandy stretch of Broad Beach.

Paul holds a degree in Economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he was a letterman on the UCSB Crew team and served as President of the Rowing Club. He began his real estate career in 1977 with a Salesman’s license, obtaining his Broker’s license in 1981. His commitment to community service is evident through his roles as a charter member and past president of the Kiwanis Club of Malibu, as well as his two terms on the Malibu Township Council and two terms as a Board Member of the Malibu Chamber of Commerce. Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Public Works Commission for the City of Malibu.

Mr. Grisanti has played a pivotal role in addressing the challenges posed by the Interim Zoning Ordinance on new construction and remodeling projects. His in-depth understanding of the individual council members, the General Plan, and the city staff has proven invaluable to his clients and colleagues alike.
