What brings you to our website?
Is it a big family gathering around the pool or a firepit in the backyard? Is it the clink of wine glasses and intimate gatherings overlooking the ocean? Is it picking fresh vegetables from your own garden? A carousel of images may come to mind, ranging from hectic scenes in “Family Vacation” to episodes from the series “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” In the simplest terms…our lifestyle is our way of living.

As a physical structure a house provides for our most basic needs…a shelter, a place of security, of privacy. Comedian George Carlin lovingly joked “It’s a place to put our stuff.” From the basics to the extravagant, our homes are decorated with our favorite possessions and collected treasures that reflect our identity and our sense of style. The type of home, the neighborhood, and the location can further reflect our personal tastes and outside interests. For many, their home is a way of making a statement about who they are, what they have accomplished, and their level of achievement and success. (MORE)
Homeownership is the heart and soul of the American Dream. It's where you live, and belong, put down roots, establish friendships and most often raise a family. It means you have reached a level of success and finally arrived as an adult to take your rightful place in the world. (MORE)
SO MANY DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES… Life is not long enough to explore all the amazing choices. Finding that special home that fits your lifestyle can be a challenge, and at times seem daunting, but the resulting impact on your life is worth every minute spent in its pursuit. Rather than considering it a necessary chore, make it an EXCITING ADVENTURE. (MORE)
Owning a home is a keystone of wealth and one of the most common ways to build financial affluence and security, as well as building a legacy that can be handed down for generations to come. For many, their home becomes the foundation for a comfortable retirement. For others, a home purchase marks the beginning of their real estate investing career. (MORE)

Cool shades, great tunes…you’re ready to cruise. Scope out the surf and sun-drenched beaches where the well-tanned rollerblade ‘neath palm trees swaying in the breeze. Can you picture rows of grapevines stretching as far as the eye can see, while you savor gourmet cuisine crafted to complement your glass of red or white. Perhaps you would rather lace your boots and trek through lush pine forests, feasting your eyes on mountain vistas and towering granite peaks. Or you can wander through a dreamlike desert landscape, where twisted trees create their unique kind of art against the horizon. From Santa Barbara to San Diego, unforgettable experiences await. Welcome to Southern California, where the attractions aren’t just jaw-dropping panoramas, but invitations to create lifelong memories. (MORE)

BEGINS HERE.
Never before have there been so many options. The traditional MLS system is limiting, so Lifestyles created three proprietary, buying and selling platforms that deliver better results: the Lifestyles Advantage System, our Off Market Marketplace, and our Homeowners Investor Portal. Proven results allow us to offer the greatest set of Performance Guarantees in the industry. We ACTIVELY market to traditional home buyers and sellers, wholesalers, flippers, and institutional investors to grow our dynamic database. Why?...Sellers want more Buyers, and Buyers want more Sellers. Here are examples of Buyers who have exhausted their MLS options and are currently working with us to find homes through our Off Market Marketplace.

“We Do More...So You Get More!”
Pretty bold statement…but one well founded and hard won. What makes us your best Advocate? We do what others can’t or won’t do in deference to an industry that has resisted change and continues to promote the status quo. We can make that claim because our systems and methods work better: born from experience, tested in the marketplace, and proven by consistent results. Although they may be different from what you know, once you understand how they work and why they work, you will scratch your head and wonder why no one else does the same thing.
We raised the bar by challenging industry norms with our BUYERS EDGE and SELLERS ADVANTAGE systems, a collection of strategies, processes, and performance guarantees designed to take control, minimize and eliminate problems before they happen, maximizing results for Buyers and Sellers.
We continually market for buyers and sellers, creating a huge data base to better serve our clients on three distinct Lifestyle Market Platforms. Someone out there may be looking for your exact home right now. We are the Matchmakers!
of Buying and Selling Successs
We walk the walk and talk the talk. Whatever your situation, chances are our team has experienced it and has the knowledge to handle it not only as agents and brokers, but with a track record of buying, owning and selling over 70 of our own residential properties. Experience matters!
and Marketability
of your Home
Put more money in your pocket! We invest in you with our Equity Boost program. Lifestyles will make repairs, renovations and then stage your home to obtain the maximum price possible with no up from costs.
to the Home Selling Process
Our Sellers Advantage program puts Home Sellers back in the driver’s seat, for more control over the sale of their own home as it should be: streamlining the process, eliminating the unexpected, controlling time frames, producing better results.
or Lifestyles Will Buy It
Although faster is not necessarily better, our homes sell around 50% faster than average. All of our client’s homes have sold the first time they were listed and we have an unparalleled 100% track record. In the off-chance your home doesn’t sell within 30 days, we will buy it or sell it for.
It’s all about the process. The Lifestyles Sellers Advantage and Certified Home programs mark a departure from average to maximize competition and results, attracting more buyers, fetching higher prices, and putting more money in your pocket.
Competition is rough! Buyers complain about losing to higher offers and all cash offers. They need help and every advantage possible to win. With our Off Market Marketplace we give our Buyers more choices, and with our Good As Cash Loans, arm them to be more competitive.
We understand the anxiety and worries that can keep you up at night. We want you to buy with confidence, worry free. Make it an exciting life adventure knowing that if for any reason during the first two years you feel you have made the wrong decision, we will buy it back or sell it for free.
Many buyers have homes to sell and face a common dilemma “Buy or Sell first?” Take the best cash offer or use our cash advance to secure your new home before listing your current one.
Our company has changed the way homes are bought and sold. We have restructured our use of the MLS system as you know it in order to be more efficient and generate better results, which in turn enables us to back up what we do with the best performance guarantees in the industry. We have developed 3 different market platforms that can operate independently or together to provide more options than ever before for buyers and sellers. Why….buyers want more sellers, sellers want more buyers, and one size does not fit all!
We challenged the industry. We now challenge you to challenge the status quo and be your own best advocate. It’s to your advantage. If you are interested in results, then you owe it to yourself to investigate ALL of your options. Do your own due diligence. And with 99% of realtors doing the same thing…you just might want to check us out and judge for yourself… You will scratch your head and wonder why no one else has done this before.
Enable us to see through the eyes of others,
And help us imagine the future differently.”
We love shiny words and accolades as much the next team…we really do…HOWEVER, if you’re searching for the “right” agent, the “right” consultant, the “right” trusted advisor that is “just right” for you, we think you deserve more!
Our clients are real people with real lifestyle journeys and adventure stories to tell. We are honored that they chose us to be on the journey with them.
With Family Relations At Stake…Who Do We Pick?
After my parents passed away my sister and I were faced with many decisions regarding our family home. Do we sell it as is? What can we do with a limited budget to get the house ready for sale? It definitely needed some minor renovations and updating. And the big question…who can do the best job selling the home. With many beneficiaries there was a push to get the highest price possible. And having a real estate agent in the family, it was naturally assumed that he would be hired…

$600,000 Over Appraised Value
We do not normally hire appraisers for the trust properties we sell for clients. But because of the luxury nature and dollar size of this Corona Del Mar property, we hired a professional independent appraiser to assess and determine its value. And although the appraisal came in at a glorious $2.6 million, this property was not ready for prime time. To say the house was outdated was an understatement. It did not show well and was badly in need of a facelift before it could be marketed. This project would be a big challenge…

Out Of Town Owners
We had long since moved out of state and it was now time to sell our beloved townhome. If we were to handle the property sale, the cost to commute back and forth would be prohibitive and absorb a great deal of time. We had trusted our property manager for many years, so we put our faith in her decisions regarding the property. We trusted her recommendation for hiring the best company to handle the sale of our former home…

3 Year Dedication….Life Changing Purchase
I have an incredible story. We bought 3 homes over 3 years...kinda. I am a single mother with a young child. Coming from an apartment as a lifelong renter, Michael and his team worked long and hard to find the right home for my son and I. We had unique requirements which made it a challenge. We wanted a home that would lend itself for modifications so that it could in turn give us rooms to rent out for extra income and still have part of the home completely separated exclusively for our own private living space…

$20,000 Free! Who Does This?
Years before I even thought of selling my home in Huntington Harbor, Michae Kander, who was a neighbor down the block, suggested that I rent my unused boat slip. He advertised, interviewed, took care of the paperwork, and rented my boat slip. I made close to $20K of extra income over several years for doing absolutely nothing. I would never have thought of doing this myself, and Michael charged me absolutely nothing…Gratis...Unsolicited…Free! Who does that???...

Hard Lesson Learned
You’ve heard of the expression “Penny Wise and Pound Foolish”. Some of us must learn lessons the hard way. I was looking for a house in a particular area of Huntington Beach with access to bike paths so that my son and I could ride to the beach with our surf boards. We finally found the perfect house that met just about all the wants on our check list. However, as can be expected, we were not the only ones who wanted this house…

This Is How A Professional Pays For Himself
This is a testimony to the remarkable performance of Lifestyles Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty. Michael and his team were able to save us so much money and so many headaches because of their knowledge, expertise, and unique Sellers Advantage Program. After a remarkable marketing campaign to obtain the highest price possible, we sold to a family who were absolutely in love with our unique and very special home. Unfortunately, the appraiser valued the property way below its true market and sales price and the buyer did not want to come up with more cash, believing that they were overpaying for the property…

A Lender Can Determine Success or Failure
After being turned down by Chase Bank, we were feeling very dejected and had given up hope in buying a home. We were referred to the Lifestyles team. They made no promises but gave us hope. They in turn reached out to people they knew in the mortgage lending business…

Our Dramatic Story With International Intrigue
I was originally referred to the LIFESTYLES team from friends and family members who had wonderful experiences working with them on different RE transactions. As a young man getting married and still new in my chosen field of endeavor, I was unable to qualify for a loan on my own. I desperately wanted to provide a home for my bride-to-be as we began our new life together. But I did not want to depend on my fiancé to qualify for a loan…

18 Year Renter Becomes Proud Owner At Last
I am a schoolteacher who had been a renter for my entire adult life up to the time I met Michael…that’s 18 years of buying a property for someone else. I met the Lifestyles team at an open house. I actually visited the same open house several times acting like an interested party. I really went to listen to Michael talk real estate with other potential buyers, until I gathered the courage to approach him and ask if there was a chance I could get into a place of my own…

Making It Work - Complicated Family Transaction
Having met in college, Michael and I have been close lifelong friends. When it comes to real estate, Michael has been my trusted advisor. When presented with a challenging idea I went to him for advice, not only about how to construct a very unusual transaction, but to find out if it was even possible. My wife and I wanted to sell our home to her daughter. She had no money but could afford the payments. It was a very complicated transaction that would involve no out of pocket cash from our daughter, but require a new conventional refinance loan on our property combined with 2 other private loans with different pay off times from divorced parents…

European Diplomat – Success From A Borrowed Strategy
I was already working with another Realtor when I met Michael through close mutual friends. After 4 years in the US as a diplomate representing a European country, my wife and I decided to move our permanent home to America. We had become quite frustrated making offer after offer in this seller’s market and not having any of them accepted. When you think of how much time and energy goes into finding just one home that meets your qualifications, you can imagine how discouraged we had become…

Making The Impossible…Possible!
We were in the middle of renovating our off-water home in Huntington Harbor, when to our excitement a nearby waterfront property we had long admired came up for sale with the LIFESTYLES company. Following the tour, we fell in love and knew this should be the house for us. Our family had a lifelong dream of living on the water. However, it was just bad timing and there seemed to be too many obstacles. Our existing home was not ready to sell, and we would need the equity to purchase the new one. We also worried about qualifying for a new multimillion dollar loan, and the possibility of getting stuck with two house payments. We could not see any way to make this transition work. It was just too scary!…

Lost Parent..Trusted Advisor
Our father’s home in Huntington Harbor was a wonderful place to grow up and had long been a gathering place for family and friends. It was even more special because our father, who was a contractor, had built it himself. Losing our Dad was hard on us all. But losing our home meant a double dose of grief. As three sisters living out of the area, mostly out of state, the task of selling our home loomed over our heads, not only as an emotional challenge, but a daunting logistical exercise. We had to face the reality of giving up a magical place on the water filled with so many memories…
