G. Michael Lawrence

Founder/Broker

Michael grew up in sunny Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, where his strong work ethic began at an early age. As a child, he worked in his family’s restaurant, eventually taking on many aspects of the business—including time spent as the chef.

He later built a successful career in the hotel industry, quickly rising to become the general manager of a prestigious hotel. Along the way, he developed a deep understanding of operations, finance, development, and leadership. During that time, he asset managed over $100M in Hawaii hotels and provided strategic guidance on hotel development and oversight for a high-net-worth family based in Los Angeles.

While working in the hotel industry, Michael purchased his first home—a pivotal moment that sparked his passion for real estate. He quickly recognized the long-term value of homeownership, which led him to begin flipping homes and ultimately pursue a career in real estate. He started as a licensed California Realtor and later became a licensed California Real Estate Broker.

Michael’s background gives him a unique, well-rounded perspective. He approaches every property with an investor’s mindset, always looking for value and opportunity on behalf of his clients. Known for his persistence, communication skills, and strong negotiation style, Michael has earned the trust and respect of both clients and colleagues throughout his career.

Outside of work, Michael enjoys visiting museums, bike riding, and most importantly, spending quality time with his twin girls and son.
