Joe Carrabba

Joe Carrabba is a Los Angeles Realtor, broker, and attorney who brings a rare blend of professionalism, integrity, and care to every client relationship. A native Texan, Joe made Los Angeles his home after attending the University of Texas, Austin for his undergraduate degree and then earning his law degree from Southwestern University School of Law. While in college, Joe worked in restaurants both waiting tables and bartending. He credits these years as crucial to being able to appreciate the importance of connecting with people and providing a top-notch experience. Before real estate, his diverse career in law, film production, and talent management refined his ability to communicate, negotiate, and understand people — skills that have become cornerstones of his real estate success.

In 2005, Joe and his wife and partner, Monique Carrabba, founded the Carrabba Group — a full-service real estate team built on trust, strategy, and a concierge-style approach. Over the years, Joe has served as Broker of Record overseeing more than 600 agents, giving him a unique vantage point and a mastery of both the legal and practical sides of real estate. His clients appreciate his ability to simplify complex transactions, anticipate challenges, and provide data-driven insights that lead to confident, informed decisions. He also specializes in Estates & Trusts, Partition, Trustee and Receivership matters.

Joe’s philosophy is simple: real estate isn’t just about property — it’s about people and the life changes that come with every move. From newlyweds buying their first home to families upsizing, empty-nesters downsizing, or clients navigating divorce or probate sales, Joe takes pride in offering steady guidance through life’s most important transitions. 

He’s known for being honest, patient, and solution-oriented — the kind of advocate who will tell you when to move forward and when it’s wiser to walk away. Clients describe working with Joe as both reassuring and empowering. With his calm demeanor, legal expertise, and hands-on approach, he ensures every transaction feels smooth, transparent, and thoughtfully managed from start to finish.

When you work with Joe Carrabba, you gain more than a Realtor — you gain a trusted advisor dedicated to protecting your interests, maximizing your results, and making your real estate experience as stress-free as possible.
