When you’re having fun at a Malibu twilight open house and the sprinklers suddenly come on from every angle of the house, including the rooftop.

One minute we were enjoying the views and the company, and the next I felt like I was dancing in the rain.

It made the night even more memorable.

Awesome times with awesome people, for sure.

There’s nothing like a Malibu twilight - the sunsetting into the Pacific, awesome vibes, and great people to share this moment with.

Nights like this remind me why I love this business!

As Realtors, building a community is what it’s all about. Getting out and connecting with our peers isn’t just great for the spirit - every relationship we build becomes another way to serve our clients better.

At the end of the evening it’s about people - no egos, just love 🙏

does this make sense

I’ve trained at just about every gym you can name, but this one has a completely different vibe.

The dark atmosphere, vibrant club lighting, and loud house music allow me to block everything out, stay focused, and stick to my routine. The tempo keeps my heart rate elevated and mentally pushes me to complete one more rep, then another, until failure.

The entire club is immaculate, with staff cleaning throughout the day. After my workout, I jump into the sauna to cool down, reset, and recover.

Great atmosphere. Loud music. Intense workouts. Exactly how I like it.

When you have 20-inch biceps and a very top-heavy, buying a suit off the rack is almost impossible.

I can’t just walk into Nordstrom, grab a suit or dress shirt off the rack, and expect it to fit properly. Even after alterations, the proportions are usually still off. The shoulders, arms, chest and waist simply aren’t designed for my build.

That’s why Art Lewin has become my go-to.

Art understands my physique, but more importantly, he understands exactly how I like my suits to look and feel. Everything is custom-designed around my body, from the fit and proportions to the fabric, stitching and smallest finishing details.

Here’s something else that keeps me coming back: my weight fluctuates from time to time, and Art will readjust my suits for me at no additional charge. That level of service is hard to find.

If you’ve ever struggled to find a suit that truly fits your body, Art knows exactly how to get it done.

A $14,500,000 Building Was Completely Vandalized While in Escrow!

My client called and said, “Stephen, do you know anything about refrigerated commercial buildings?”

😳 “Yes!”

Truthfully, I had no idea where to begin, but it’s not in my blood to say no to an opportunity like this.

He owned a 42,000-square-foot refrigerated building on 2.5 acres and needed to sell it so he could complete a 1031 exchange into another property in New Jersey. He also lived in another country, which made everything more complicated.

After hanging up, I thought, “It’s go time!”

I reached out to my manager, who introduced me to Essi, our commercial real estate expert. Essi knew refrigerated buildings inside and out. He also shared the same culture as my client, which helped us establish trust and land the listing.

The property had already been on the market with another agent for nearly a year. It was also occupied by a world-renowned company with armed security and two years remaining on its lease.

Still, within 30 days, we found a buyer who wanted the building delivered vacant.

We carefully negotiated an agreement that protected everyone. Then, two weeks into the buyer’s due-diligence period, we arrived at the property and discovered that security was gone, the tenant had vacated, and the building had been vandalized.

The utilities and insurance had also been shut off without anyone notifying us.

For a moment, the entire transaction and our client’s 1031 exchange were in jeopardy.

Essi and I created an emergency plan within 30 minutes. Our client was understandably furious, but we remained calm and immediately went to work.

Within one week, we secured the property, restored operations, and got the entire facility running again.

Most importantly, we closed escrow on time!

Real estate isn’t about always having every answer. It’s about building the right team, staying calm under pressure, and finding solutions when everything appears to be falling apart.

5⭐️ FROM NEIGHBOR TO CLIENT

It’s always great receiving a positive review or referral, but this one means a little more.

A few years ago, I met my neighbor while he was walking past my home here in Calabasas. He and his family had recently moved from Washington, D.C. We started with small talk and over time became great neighbors.

We’d constantly run into each other at The Commons and always talked about getting our wives together for dinner. That dinner still hasn’t happened 😂, but we always had a great connection.

Great neighbors can be hard to find, especially in a city as busy as LA. When you find good people, appreciate those relationships.

Fast-forward four years.

He called me because his family wanted to move closer to Brentwood and their daughter’s private school.

There was one major hurdle.

They needed to lease their current home to qualify for the new purchase, but they didn’t want to sign a lease until we knew they had secured the right home.

My response: “I have a simple plan.”

They trusted me and my team to execute it.

47 days later:

✓ Purchased the home they wanted
✓ Negotiated approximately $100,000 in savings
✓ Secured well-qualified tenants for their former home
✓ Coordinated both transactions simultaneously
✓ Closed everything on time

This is why I always say real estate is about much more than opening doors. Sometimes the real value is creating a strategy that makes all the moving pieces work together.

Thank you to my neighbors, clients and friends who continue to trust me with their homes, refer me to others and leave reviews like this. It truly means a lot.

Thinking about buying a home but need to sell or lease your current property first? Don’t assume the timing won’t work.

📩 DM me “MOVE” and let’s create a strategy before you make your next move.

CAPTION👇 The best time to buy a home is not a month on the calendar. It is the moment your financing, your reserves, and your five year plan line up.

Here is what most people get wrong. They wait for the perfect market. Perfect markets only look perfect in hindsight.

What actually moves the needle:

Fall and winter bring fewer competing buyers in LA. Less competition means more room to negotiate terms, credits, and close dates.

Rates are temporary. Price is permanent. You can restructure a loan later. You cannot go back and re-buy a home at last year’s price.

The right time is when the payment fits your life comfortably, not barely.

If you are sitting on the fence, the smartest move is not guessing. It is running your actual numbers against actual inventory and seeing what your position looks like today.

Send me a DM or text me with the word READY and I will run your numbers and show you exactly what you qualify for and what is available in your price range this week. No pressure, just clarity.
