ABOUT IMANI
Imani and her family love a great adventure and have not shied away from the hectic Los Angeles traffic to enjoy all of this city’s hidden jewels. Arriving over a decade ago, it was then that she fell in love with Los Angeles. It wasn’t “love at first sight” but it didn’t take long. Driving around in search of the right neighborhood to raise their girl, it was clear that LA had a very interesting story to tell, boldly exhibited through its sprawling neighborhoods and homes. The richness in history, culture and diversity was undeniable. After navigating coast to canyon, Imani and her family landed in the North Hollywood/Toluca Lake area.
According to Imani, “We only had one car at the time. NOHO was practical, in a diverse area, has a lot of nice parks and is walking distance to the train station.” Imani will provide you with that same nuanced and considerate approach.
A Chicago native, born and raised in Hyde Park, the discerning eye of her late mother’s love for all things that incorporated beauty, design, nature and function stirred her initial passion for real estate. Immersed in the city’s cultural offerings, from world-renowned art and science museums, architectural gems by Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies Van Der Rohe to the University of Chicago’s gothic archways, an understanding of how architecture informs our stories was cultivated in Imani at a very early age.
After graduating college, Imani spent four years in Italy and Sicily, studying art history and Italian, working as a radio deejay, and mastering the gift of “La Dolce Vita” with her Sicilian husband.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Imani’s dedication to selling our home was unprecedented. From start to finish she put in the highest effort possible to find the best stagers, conduct multiple open houses, and facilitate private showings. She continuously kept our best interests in mind and was ultimately able to negotiate a selling price that we were so happy with. Imani treats her clients with the utmost respect and grace — we could not have asked for a better experience in selling our home.
— MF
Imani and her team provided excellent guidance and support throughout the entire home buying process and I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know. She’s a true professional, a genuinely nice human being and you’d be hard pressed to find a better realtor. Thank you so much for all your help throughout this whole process, you're amazing!

My wife and I used Imani Wilkinson to buy our first home, in the Southbay area, and she was absolutely fantastic! We used a VA loan which adds additional requirements. Though designed to protect veterans, unfortunately in very competitive markets like L.A., it can make potential sellers less inclined to even consider those offers. Despite the difficult position we put her in, Imani was always optimistic and even kept our spirits up whenever we started to doubt our prospects. She jumped into action immediately so that we were the first people to see a house we liked. She quickly crafted a strong offer that encouraged the seller to cancel their open house and accept it, preventing the possibility of a bidding war. She somehow managed to accomplish all of this while working within the confines of a VA loan and negotiating a price well within our budget.

What an experience! Ridiculous speed during the holiday season...during Global pandemic... and somehow, we made it to the finish line four days ahead of a schedule that was already incredulous.! Let’s do it again next year!
— TC
Imani made the process of buying my first home a breeze. As a single woman with a child in tow - the process was very intimidating. There was a lot to learn & digest. No question was deemed too small or too obvious- She was happy to explain anything and everything twice if needed! She is also incredibly warm & straightforward. She never ran me around to properties that would not suit my situation. We found our home quite quickly & we LOVE it. Imani was with me every step of the way!
