About Your Whittier Realtors

Your Whittier Realtors, led by Marti Jordan and Elena Ortiz, combines over 30 years of real estate experience with fresh energy, persistence, and a hands-on approach. Marti's experience, strong communication, and commitment to her clients are complemented by Elena Ortiz's dedication to helping buyers find the right home—even when it means going the extra mile through calls, letters, door knocking, and uncovering off-market opportunities.
Together, we are committed to making every real estate experience as smooth, positive, and successful as possible. With the added support of Alyson Tietze, our Director of Marketing, and Claudia Lopez, our Transaction Coordinator, our clients are supported every step of the way.

Questions about working with us
?Which areas does Your Whittier Realtors serve?
We focus on Whittier, California and specifically on six neighborhoods: Mar Vista Heights, Friendly Hills, Michigan Park, College Hills, Hadley Hills, and Uptown Whittier. We also help clients in the surrounding communities when the move connects to one of those areas.
?Do I work with Marti or with Elena?
You work with the team. Marti leads strategy, pricing, and negotiation, drawing on more than thirty years in this market. Elena leads buyer representation and off-market search. Alyson handles marketing and Claudia handles the transaction file, so nothing gets dropped between people.
?How do I get in touch with the team?
Call or text (562) 846-6092, or email elenaortiz@kw.com. We answer our own phones. If you are early in the process and just want an honest read on timing or value, that conversation is free and carries no obligation.
?What does it cost to work with you as a buyer?
Buyer representation compensation is negotiable and is set out in a written buyer representation agreement before we tour homes, as California now requires. We walk you through exactly how it works, what the seller may or may not be offering, and what your out-of-pocket exposure would be, before you sign anything.
