Two of the country’s biggest names in real estate are strengthening their L.A. and O.C. presence.
First up, the John Stanaland Group, formerly of Villa Real Estate, has joined Douglas Elliman. The 11-person team will work out of Elliman’s Newport Beach office.
“Douglas Elliman’s presence in Southern California grows stronger by the day,” said Howard M. Lorber, executive chairman of Douglas Elliman. “I am confident that John and his team will help us to accelerate that growth and strengthen our standing in Orange County.”
The Stanaland Group closed more than $300 million in sales volume in 2022, according to an announcement from the brokerage.
A bit further north, Tal and Oren Alexander are expanding to Los Angeles, and they’ve recruited Tyrone McKillen to lead their office. The Side team operating under the name Official had reportedly been plotting its L.A. move for some time now, according to an announcement on Instagram.
“Tyrone and his team have brokered several of California’s most significant transactions, setting multiple records throughout the state. Monumental deals and records include a $58.5M off-market sale in Bel Air, an off-market $57.25M sale in Malibu (the highest price-per-square foot sale in the US), as well as a $90M sale in Bel Air and an $88M sale in Holmby Hills,” per Official’s IG announcement.
