Alec & Lance
Two brothers. One shared commitment to integrity, clarity, and real results in real estate.
Our clients choose us; not just for our market knowledge, but for the way we communicate, advocate, and guide them through each decision with clarity and confidence.
We grew up in this area. We know the neighborhoods, the rhythms of the local market, and what makes the Conejo Valley such a great place to live. Whether you’re buying, selling, or renting, we approach your goals with the care and professionalism we would expect if we were in your shoes.
Our job isn’t just to close deals; it’s to build relationships that last long after the paperwork is signed.
Westlake Hills is one of Westlake Village’s most recognizable neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets and distinctive octagonal layout centered around a neighborhood park and Westlake Hills Elementary. Its collection of single-story and two-story homes, primarily built in the 1970s, sits on comfortable, usable lots along quiet, flat streets. Residents can stroll to the Westlake Promenade for dinner, coffee, or a movie, while the neighborhood’s limited cut-through traffic creates a peaceful, connected atmosphere.
Over the years, many homes have been fully remodeled, creating a mix of original character and modern updates. Demand remains strong thanks to the neighborhood’s sense of community and proximity to everything Westlake Village has to offer.
Proudly ranked #2 among Keller Williams’ leading teams in the Central Southern California region.
We grew up in Westlake Village and attended Westlake Hills Elementary, giving us a genuine connection to the neighborhood.
Our 2026 sale set the all-time Westlake Hills price-per-square-foot record, raising the bar for the neighborhood and demonstrating what strategic preparation, pricing, and marketing can achieve.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or renting in the Conejo Valley, we begin with a clear understanding of what you want; your goals, your priorities, and your long-term perspective. From strategy to execution, our approach is grounded in local market insight, transparent communication, and purposeful action so you feel informed and confident at every step.

Results Earned Through Representation
client success stories
We believe strong representation shows in the outcome. These success stories highlight how local insight, preparation, and clear strategy translated into meaningful results for our clients.
How disciplined pricing and execution made a dream business possible
Selling with Zero Room for Error
Three years after helping this family buy a home they loved, we helped them sell it under pressure, so they could pursue a dream business and relocate their entire lives - all while finding them a new place to call home.
Selling a one-of-a-kind property at the upper end of the market is rarely fast, especially on a deadline. The result came down to timing, trust, and a strategy built for their life-changing next step.
Winning the Right Home in a Competitive Market
A Coordinated Move Into a Family-Ready Home
Selling and buying simultaneously in a competitive Thousand Oaks market required precise timing, clear communication, and firm advocacy to make sure nothing slipped.
Location and school district weren’t negotiable for these clients as they planned for their future family. While competing with multiple buyers and navigating inspection challenges, we coordinated both sides of the transaction to keep timelines aligned and the goal intact.
