Real Estate, Handled with Care and Intention
For us, real estate has always been about people. Growing up in this area gave us a natural understanding of the neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle that make the Conejo Valley such a special place to live. As brothers, we learned early on the value of communication, trust, and following through; qualities that now define how we work with our clients.
Over time, we saw how confusing and stressful real estate could feel without the right guidance. That’s what led us to build a practice focused on clarity, honesty, and thoughtful strategy.

Alec Minkow
Co-Owner & Broker Associate
When I’m not wearing my real estate hat, I’m usually with family, on the mats, or locked into a routine I genuinely enjoy. I’m a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and treat training and exercise as daily non-negotiables - part fitness, part therapy, part moving meditation.
Dad life keeps me grounded and humble, and I’m big on spirituality, gratitude, and staying healthy. I try to keep things simple: early mornings, early dinners, meaningful time with the people I love, and a matcha latte to start the early day.
I believe a balanced, intentional life - with discipline, humor, and a lot of appreciation - is what makes everything else work.
Lance Minkow
Co-Owner & Agent
I’m very active, big on family, and I enjoy things that are hands-on and challenging. Strength training and strongman have been a part of my life for years, and through that, I’ve earned a few competitive titles, including 2× LA’s Strongest Man and 805 Strongest Man.
When I’m not training, I’m usually chasing something fun that gets people together. Escape rooms are a favorite; I’ve done more than 60 across Southern California and Vegas, and I still get way too invested every time. Game nights with friends and family, cooking at home, and any excuse to bring people around a table are time well spent in my book.
I’m naturally optimistic and straightforward, and I put a lot of value on hard work and honest conversations. I respect people who take pride in what they do and don’t forget to enjoy the process along the way.
Every client and every situation is different, but the way we work stays consistent: organized, thoughtful, and centered on clear communication. We believe the process matters just as much as the outcome, because a well-run transaction creates confidence at every step.
