In addition to working as a real estate planner and probate attorney in Los Angeles and Orange County, Mr. McKenzie has 19 years of experience as a real estate broker. His professional background gives him a unique perspective, as many of the challenges that come up in real estate planning are the same challenges in real estate. Mr. McKenzie uses his expertise in real estate law to provide his clients with valuable insights that they would normally not have access to when working with other agents.

Even after the completion of a sale, he continues to work and help his clients make sure that the title is held properly and that they are fully prepared for their future ahead as property owners. For example, if you are in the market to purchase a residence or investment property, Mr. McKenzie will not only help you find the property of your dreams, but once the property is purchased, you will receive an expertly-drafted Living Trust or LLC to protect your property, at no additional charge. Only a Realtor® who is also an attorney can provide this level of service—protecting both your home and your family. Read more about Orange County Estate Planning.
