A Southern California native, Mike Shenkman has a career that has spanned over two decades and has included training, development and managing broker roles within some of the most prominent real estate companies throughout Southern California. In addition to his work in sales and management, Mike has experience in affordable housing, community development, property management, redevelopment, and mortgage finance. He regularly acts as a consultant for land use planning and has served as an expert witness in trials regarding real estate disputes. 

Mike is an Alumnus of UC San Diego, where he completed his Bachelor’s in both Sociology and Urban Studies & Planning – graduating Cum Laude with High Distinction Honors.

"5 STAR REVIEW: Mike did an amazing job assisting us with the purchase of our house and property management. His expertise in the market was instrumental in determining a competitive purchasing price. Mike was very involved in all aspects of closing process and friendly and always gave great advice based on our priorities."

  -Archit, Client

"5 STAR REVIEW: Mike was extremely professional and respectful on my time. He always kept me up to date and on track. This was my first time home purchase and without Mike's diligence, it would not have gone so smooth. My first time home purchase was a positive experience. Thank you!!"

  -Timothy, Client

"5 STAR REVIEW: Mike is amazing. So responsive, knowledgeable, and personable. Our family worked with him through the purchase of green different homes since 2007, and if we are ever in the market again he would be the one we go to for guidance."

  -Rachel Perez Delgado, Client

"5 STAR REVIEW: I have worked with Mike Shenkman on numerous real estate transactions over the past 15 years, from acquisitions/dispositions, property management, unlawful detainer actions, need for legislative guidance (I.e. Covid regs), and community-based policy issues. His vigor and work ethic is unmatched, and I can’t think of a single professional in the industry across SoCal (and beyond, frankly) that I can trust more with my business. I’ve come to him with multi-million dollar projects and high-stakes legislative issues, and smaller, first home purchases, and time and again, he puts in the same level of unwavering dedication and personal consideration across the board. He’s a charismatic fast talker and deal worker, and naturally displays the utmost old-school integrity of generations long gone. I’ve worked with several real estate professionals on both sides of the deal, but I ONLY trust Mike with my clients and personal investments. No wonder he was named best in the business "
