In 2001, The Cohen Brothers owned and operated a highly successful mortgage

company, which they built from the ground up, called West Coast Lending. At its peak,

their company had over 15 sales agents that were closing over 50 loans per month.

In 2010, The Cohen Brothers took their separate paths. Abraham became a full time

Realtor, while Donny entered the construction field. They knew that they would

ultimately work together again because together, they make a great team.

In 2012, when The Cohen Brothers joined forces again, they finished the year as the

top 3% of Prudential Realty agents nationwide.

Today, The Cohen Brothers join Keller Williams Studio City with the plan of

continuing to build their team with the support of their management team and their

aggressive business model.

Jay Cohen

With great sadness, we have lost our dear friend and associate, Jay Cohen. Jay was

an exceptional broker. Nobody knew the foreclosure market better than he did, and his

legions of loyal clients are a testament to his skill and talent. Much more than that, Jay

was a wonderful friend and colleague. He loved a good time and, with his trademark

mischievous smile, made us laugh every day. His generous spirit was infectious, and he

was a joy to be with. He will be greatly missed.
