Read MoreMike isn’t only a real estate broker – he’s practiced in real estate as a real estate attorney for 25 years while practicing over 20 years of trust in the state law, bringing an impressive dual background to every deal. In fact, he’s one of only five people with a similar skillset in the entire country. As the most experienced trust and probate broker in Southern California, he makes the real estate process simple and easy to understand for his clients. Whether you’re in the South Bay, or are interested in property in West Los Angeles, Mike and his team can help.
Probate real estate deals are when properties have transferred ownership through the legal process – whether it’s through a trust, a will, or a conservatorship. For example, if a loved one passes away and grants ownership of a residential or commercial property explicitly to you or multiple members of your family in his or her will, this would qualify as a probate estate. Furthermore, if age or a medical condition renders a person who owns and manages a commercial or residential property unfit to manage the responsibilities of the property, a conservatorship may name a family member or other individual as the executor of the estate. Mike has knowledge and experience to help executors with this lengthy and complicated sales process, to help expedite the transfers of ownerships of the estate or continue managing the estate on their own.
Investment property is any piece of property that an owner doesn’t reside in; it can be used for residential, commercial, and multifamily tenants. This allows an owner to get a return on investment in two different ways – an increase in market value of the property and also rent payments. Investment properties are an excellent monetary value, but you’ll need to obey all applicable laws and secure a favorable deal, which requires an expert like Mike.
1031 exchanges present an extremely valuable form of property exchange, but the complexities around them can cause confusion. Mike is a highly skilled intermediary that can help clients navigate these dealings effectively and successfully. You’ll be able to defer capital gains tax, instead using the cash that would have gone to taxes as equity in the new property. Mike has helped clients at all levels of the real estate business navigate these types of exchanges to help them generate cash flow and diversify their portfolio.

“I would highly recommend Mike Millea to anyone seeking a professional and dedicated commercial real estate broker. I have worked with many brokers over the years and found Mike to be exceptionally capable and a person with a high level of integrity and honesty. Mike helped me acquire a multifamily property in Palms that required skillful negotiating with the seller. Mike’s unique tax background added another level of value to our transaction that is seldom found in real estate brokers. I cannot speak highly enough about Mike and believe that any client of his is in very capable hands. Mike is a wealth creator, in that everyone he deals with winds up richer for the experience – monetarily and otherwise. Mike Millea is the “go to guy.”
“I have been in the real estate business for over 50 years and Mike Millea is the best Real Estate Broker I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Because of the amount of properties I own, I get numerous calls from Real Estate Brokers every day. I always tell them that I only work with Mike Millea. During the past year few years, I used Mike to help me purchase over 10 South Bay apartment buildings and also to sell two of my properties. He is the first broker I have used during the past 50 years to sell a property. Since I have seen how much value he brought to me when selling my property, in the future I will always use Mike to sell my buildings. I initially chose Mike as my Real Estate Broker because of his extensive market knowledge. As I got to know Mike better, he impressed me more and more with his level of service, his ability to negotiate, and his sound advice – all of which helped make me money.”
