Sheila Hume
Born and raised in Santa Monica, CA, and also where I met my British furniture craftsman husband we now have three, adult children and five rescue pets. Growing up my family home was a lively gathering place for all. Always tastefully decorated with modern classics from my father and grandfather's furniture showroom as well as my mother's handmade home accessories. I feel this legacy, gratefully continues to prevail and is revealed in our own homes and projects throughout Los Angeles and Ventura County. Before we started our family I worked in film and television as a costume designer and wardrobe stylist. Not knowing that I would rely heavily on these skills later in life in a completely different fashion. I have always been fascinated by houses, even as a young girl so it felt natural for me to transition into real estate and now for 15 years, I have been providing quality guidance to buyers and sellers, purchasing and selling properties at all price points from Santa Barbara to Palm Springs, and most points of the compass in between. As life continues to change, so has my profession in many ways and we at House of Hume are prepared to be your creative, steadfast collaborator throughout one of life's most challenging decisions; buying, selling and renovating your home. We have amassed an arsenal of vendors over the years to support all aspects of a transaction.
Henry Hume
Growing up in a California real estate family certainly made a strong impression on Henry, to say the least. Living through many a renovation, he witnessed firsthand the process of procuring and renovating properties in some very special places, Santa Monica, Venice, Malibu, Ventura, Oxnard, and Ojai. His curiosity led to him getting his California real estate license at twenty years old, where he soon after partnered with his mother, Sheila Hume. Surrounding himself with experienced agents and contractors only deepened his understanding and process of managing client relationships, all while adding to his family's own real estate portfolio and creating a successful property management business. He quickly demonstrated that he has what it takes to take care of buyers and sellers, as well as showcasing his creative/natural skills in photography and marketing to make everything look like you can’t live without it! The real estate journey continued to motivate him, and by the age of twenty-two, he was armed with a strategic license in one of his favorite states, Hawaii. The bottom line is that Henry likes to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible. He wants what is best for his clients. He’s inspired by the pursuit of happiness and maxing out on opportunity. When free time beckons, you will find him spending just about all of it in the great outdoors surfing, fishing, camping, running, spearfishing, and hunting, which often has him ending up in the kitchen at the end of the day cooking his catch with friends and family. Let’s keep the special places special.
What People Are Saying
“
“Sheila was a subject matter expert in all the details of buying a home. We relied on her heavily and she came through! Even in difficult circumstances, like having to switch lenders mid stream, she knew what to do to ensure we ended up with the home we wanted.”
— Jonathan Rose
"Henry Hume was the seller’s agent for the home we just purchased, and he was a pleasure to work with in every way. Could not possibly have been more considerate, on the ball, or willing to go the extra mile. It made the whole process, with all the uncertainties that naturally come along with it, incredibly smooth and relaxed."

“I hear many nightmares about realtors. Not this one! My first house in Venice couldn't have gone any smoother. After I met Sheila, I could tell right away that she's good natured, honest and was dedicated to making me feel comfortable with every decision. She knows the process, the market and always seems to know exactly what the other side is thinking. There are so many things that can go wrong with buying and selling homes. Sheila was there for every important moment I needed her. When I was working and couldn't make it, she even met workers at my house to let them in. She goes the extra distance and it shows. That is why Sheila and I have worked together on 5 different homes and I don't think I will ever use anyone else.”

“I can’t say enough about Sheila! Her professionalism and engaging personality made buying our first home exciting and enjoyable! She held our hand from start to finish through a short sale with its fair share of issues, no matter what came up she was there to guide us and always available. She is an excellent realtor, punctual, reliable, and willing to go the extra mile.”
— Sabine Skelton
"My husband and I most recently worked with Henry as our Real Estate Broker to represent our Santa Monica home that we had loved for nearly 20 years. Henry went above and beyond the call of duty. His calm demeanor was very helpful in going through a naturally, anxiety provoking and emotional process. Henry is kind, attentive, extremely hard working, and understands the market very well. Fred and I would highly recommend Henry to anyone looking to sell their house.""
