A dedicated Los Angeles real estate professional committed to providing thoughtful guidance, local expertise, and genuine care throughout your buying or selling journey.
I'm Seda Stepanyan, the founder and lead agent behind Tooyn Homes. With focused expertise in the Los Angeles County market—particularly the San Fernando Valley—I help buyers find homes that truly fit their lives and sellers achieve the best possible outcomes.
Real estate is deeply personal. Beyond the transaction, it's about understanding your unique circumstances, timeline, and goals. My role is to provide the expertise and support you need while respecting that this is your decision to make.

I was born and raised in Armenia, where I grew up in a tight-knit community that valued hard work, family, and education. After high school I moved to Prague, Czech Republic, where I earned my degree in Linguistics and International Journalism from Charles University. Living in Prague taught me to adapt quickly, think critically, and communicate across cultures—skills I lean on every day as a real estate professional.
When I arrived in Los Angeles, the energy of this city felt like home. I began my career in environments that demanded meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and calm under pressure. Those experiences reinforced a lesson I carry into every transaction: the best outcomes come from genuinely listening to people and understanding what matters most to them.
I chose real estate because I wanted to help people with something truly meaningful—finding a place to build their lives or making one of the biggest financial decisions they'll ever face. Los Angeles, with its kaleidoscope of neighborhoods and ever-shifting market dynamics, is the perfect city to do that work.
The San Fernando Valley became my focus because I know it intimately. I understand the subtle differences between Sherman Oaks and Encino, the school districts that draw families to Calabasas, and the creative energy that makes Studio City and Toluca Lake so appealing. This hyperlocal knowledge allows me to guide buyers and sellers with confidence and precision.
I'm fluent in English, Russian, Armenian, and conversational in Czech. Los Angeles is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the world, and my multilingual ability lets me serve the large Armenian community in Glendale and Burbank, Russian-speaking families across the Valley, and international buyers relocating to Southern California—all in their native language.
Real estate doesn't have to be stressful. My approach is designed to keep you informed, confident, and in control throughout the process.
You'll always know where things stand. I provide regular updates, answer questions promptly, and explain each step in plain language.
Every decision is backed by market data and tailored to your specific goals. I develop custom strategies that position you for success.
Honest guidance, even when it's not what you want to hear. I'm here to protect your interests and help you make informed decisions.
The San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area aren't just where I work—they're where I've built my life. This personal connection means I understand the nuances that online searches can't capture.
I know which streets flood during heavy rain. I know which neighborhoods are seeing new development. I know where the best schools are and which areas offer the lifestyle you're looking for.
This local knowledge translates directly into better outcomes for my clients. Whether you're searching for your next home or preparing to sell, understanding the specific market dynamics of your target area is essential.
I take my professional responsibilities seriously. This means staying current with market trends, maintaining the highest ethical standards, and continuously improving my skills to better serve clients. When you work with me, you're working with someone who treats your transaction with the care and attention it deserves.
When I'm not helping clients navigate the real estate market, you'll find me exploring the restaurants and coffee shops that make Los Angeles such a vibrant place to live. I enjoy hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains and staying connected with the local community.
I believe that a fulfilling career and a balanced life go hand in hand. This perspective helps me stay grounded and approach each client relationship with fresh energy and genuine enthusiasm.
