Representing buyers and sellers throughout Coastal Orange County, Mike Gaines brings a disciplined, detail-driven approach to Newport Beach and its surrounding coastal communities.

A Newport Beach native, Mike’s local market knowledge is paired with long-standing relationships with builders, developers, buyers, and sellers across the region. This perspective allows him to navigate transactions with clarity, discretion, and a deep understanding of how value is created at the highest levels of the market.

Before real estate, Mike built his career in fine dining and hospitality as an executive chef and restaurant owner, working within some of the most respected establishments across Europe and the San Francisco Bay Area.

That background shaped his ability to anticipate needs, manage complex situations, and deliver a consistently high standard of service. These principles now define his real estate practice, where precision, trust, and thoughtful execution guide every transaction.
