About Meredith

"I wake up every morning excited to see what the day brings and who I am going to meet. Not one day is identical and that's because I am constantly meeting new people and getting to hear their stories, which is the most captivating and magical part of what I get to do!"


Meredith is a Los Angeles real estate expert recognized by attorneys for her expertise in determining residential property value and selected to serve as an expert witness in real estate trials, where her market analysis and valuation expertise have been called upon to help determine the value of residential properties. This depth of market knowledge, combined with her strategic approach to marketing and negotiation, allows Meredith to provide clients with a sophisticated understanding of what their property is truly worth and how to position it for the strongest possible outcome (read more about how Meredith sold this Del Rey listing for top dollar). Before transitioning into real estate, Meredith built her career working with major brands including ELLE Magazine, Tommy Hilfiger, BCBGMAXAZRIA, and Hervé Léger, where she developed a sharp eye for presentation, positioning, and high-level client service.

Having lived in Northeast Los Angeles, the Valley, and the Westside over the past decade, Meredith offers clients a broad and nuanced understanding of the greater Los Angeles market. She knows how different neighborhoods live, feel, and evolve, and she uses that insight to help buyers and sellers make thoughtful, well-informed decisions.

Driven, highly responsive, and relentlessly committed to her clients, Meredith quickly established herself as a standout in the industry, selling $30 million and 14 homes in her first year in real estate. She is known for being a strong advocate, a sharp negotiator, and someone who will go the extra mile to help her clients achieve the results they want.

At the same time, Meredith brings warmth, honesty, and a calm sense of support to the process. Raised in Michigan, she pairs Midwestern approachability with the confidence and adaptability needed to navigate a fast-moving Los Angeles market. She takes pride in helping clients feel heard, cared for, and well guided from beginning to end.

In clients’ words

What clients notice.

Meredith is magic. Meredith is magic. She has some sort of magnetic energy that seems to bring only good things to everyone around her. She is incredibly poised, knowledgeable, reassuring, positive, and an absolute joy to work with. She genuinely had my best interests at heart, and I felt completely at ease with her throughout the entire process. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Meredith somehow takes that stress off your shoulders. She makes you feel calm, confident, and taken care of every step of the way. She is thoughtful, intuitive, incredibly capable, and always seems to know exactly what is needed in any given moment. Working with Meredith felt like having someone in your corner who truly cared about the outcome, not just the transaction. I could not have asked for a better experience or a better person to guide me through it. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.

Working with Meredith and her team was outstanding from start to finish. They guided us through both buying and selling our homes with remarkable responsiveness, expertise, and professionalism. Their commitment to client service is second to none, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. For anyone seeking true concierge-level representation, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We could not say more positive things about Meredith and her ability to help navigate the process of purchasing a home. To add to an already stressful process, we were first time home buyers who were living out of the area. We met multiple times over a year or so with Meredith and her team to narrow down the areas we liked and types of houses that would best fit our needs. It was so helpful to have Meredith guide us through every step and we felt confident that she was really advocating for our best interests. Highly recommend!

Sometimes a dream stays a dream until the right person walks into your life and changes the equation.Enter Meredith Gruszka at Pardee Properties — our Dream Maker.As a native Angeleno, and with my Belizean husband Austin, we’ve always imagined a life oceanfront abroad. But leaving our Venice loft we called home — one block off Abbot Kinney — felt nearly impossible to imagine.We built our marriage there. Our family. Our life.We’ve known Tami Pardee for as long as we’ve lived in Venice, and for two decades we’ve watched her become not just one of the most respected and visionary names in real estate, but a true force for good far beyond it. Her brilliance is undeniable, but it’s her generosity, heart, and the way she consistently shows up for people and community that makes Pardee Properties stand entirely apart. Entrusting this chapter of our lives to her and her team felt deeply personal and profoundly right.With standards as high as ours, being impressed is rare, so what unfolded next was honestly shocking. Meredith transformed what could have been an overwhelming transition into an experience that felt exciting, grounded, and unexpectedly joyful. And somehow, while making us feel completely protected every step of the way, she also delivered an extraordinary financial result on our loft. Yes — bidding war included.Meredith navigated every moving piece with a level of strategic brilliance, emotional intelligence, calm, and intuition that allowed us to fully trust the process — something that does not come naturally to us. She anticipated problems before they surfaced, carried enormous complexity with remarkable ease, and consistently made us feel like we were not only in the best hands professionally, but personally as well.And Meredith is surrounded by people who operate at the same extraordinary level. Anna and Laura are deeply experienced, incredibly sharp, and masters of every detail.As Austin and I sit here now with our toes in warm white sand, watching the sunset melt into impossibly clear water, writing this from the life we once only talked about, we know exactly who helped make it possible.Some people sell homes.Meredith changes lives.

Would highly recommend working with Meredith Gruszka! She was professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful as we bought our first home. She made the process stress free and made herself available anytime she had a question. She really knows her stuff!

Beyond the transaction

A little more Meredith.

01

Favorite local place

Hinano for the best burger. It's a Venice local dive bar that has the best burger in LA and is no frills. The best spot to hang out by the beach and have a beer and burger.
02

Best LA walk

Meredith lives in Venice by the Canals so her favorite walk is walking up Washington Blvd straight to the beach to the Venice pier. She loves standing out on the pier and watching the surfers, seeing all of Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu. On a clear day you can see Point Dume and all the way to Century City. It reminds her of the magic of LA.
03

First job

Meredith had a paper route when she was 8 years old! That was when people still read the newspaper :) And she had to go to each house every month and knock on the door and collect payment. She was a little hustler even then!
04

Design style they love

Meredith loves when she walks into a home and sees rich wood detail mixed with natural stone, polished concrete, and beautiful tile work in the bathrooms and kitchen. Her favorite tile is Zellige tile which is a natural clay tile that comes in several different colors seen in nature. One major detail she always notices when she walks into a home that cannot be seen with the naked eye is the energy of the home. Some homes have such positive, warm energy that can be felt the moment you walk in and that's what makes a home truly special.
05

Weekend ritual

No matter what Meredith has planned for the weekend, the moment she opens her eyes she takes two shots of espresso to start her day. She tries to journal but is not always good about it. She is almost always working on the weekends to some extent, but if she does have time to herself (which is extremely rare), she loves walking down to the beach, grabbing a coffee, and walking down the Venice Pier. Depending on the weekend, she'll either play and run around with her 7 year old son, or meet up with friends for drinks and dinner. And if given the opportunity, she loves to just sit on her sofa, watch movies and eat pizza!!
06

Surprisingly good at

Meredith is really good at drawing! But only if she is copying an existing photo or drawing, she can pretty much replicate it, it's crazy!!
07

A cause they care about

Harvest Home is an organization that Tami Pardee and Pardee Properties have helped for many years. It's an organization that helps homeless pregnant women get back on their feet when they have nowhere else to go. It's beautiful to see these women get back on track.
