Mission-Driven Mindset
Kyle operates from a simple belief: strategic execution builds legacy. That means clarity in pricing, confidence in offers, and control at the negotiating table. He’s not interested in volume—he’s focused on value.
"My job is to structure clean, market-savvy deals that honor your goals, protect your downside, and create real upside."
Personal Life
Kyle lives in Temecula, CA with his wife Lauren—an accomplished interior designer—and their four children. When he's not analyzing cap rates or walking sites, you’ll find him hiking with his family, snowboarding in the mountains, or surfing the California coast.
