        About Christopher Lakkees

        Christopher Lakkees

        Chris is a licensed Southern California realtor with a bachelor's degree in public relations and an MBA from the University of Southern California. He spent several years with Christie's International Real Estate and auction house in Beverly Hills, representing clients in both luxury sales and record-breaking auction events, before recently joining colleagues to launch an independent boutique real estate firm.

        With experience buying, selling, redesigning, and developing properties, Chris has represented clients in multimillion-dollar residential and commercial transactions. His background also includes years in mortgage banking and serving as Executive Vice President for one of Southern California's largest commercial builders and prefabrication companies. This hands-on experience gives him a unique understanding of the entire process—design, construction, financing, and sales—allowing him to offer clients a perspective very few realtors can match.

        Chris's approach to hospitality and first-class service was shaped by direct mentorship while working with founders Horst Schulze of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and Tom Yeardye of Jimmy Choo, where he gained deep insight into luxury service, branding, and client care. Chris is also dedicated to philanthropy, having helped raise more than $15 million for anti-human trafficking and child welfare causes.

        Malibu Orchard Estate

        An extraordinary contemporary compound in the Malibu Mountains, adjacent to the Rosenthal Winery along a shared property line — the Malibu Orchard Estate was listed by Christopher Lakkees, who represented the sellers while working closely with their architect over a six-month period as the property completed its final phase of construction. This 32-acre sanctuary is built to the highest fire and seismic safety standards, featuring a fortified concrete moment frame, an all-glass elevator, and cascading water features throughout. The three-story main residence spans 8,182 SF with 3,100 SF of exterior terraces, a resort-style pool, persimmon orchard, guest house, pool house, and cottage. The estate sold off-market for an undisclosed amount.

        Commercial Portfolio  ·  Active Listing

        ±75,000+ SF of institutional-grade big-box retail occupying a fortress position within the dominant regional shopping destination for a multi-county primary trade area of 150,000+ residents. Ownership is structurally independent of the center — fee-simple title with dedicated access, separate utilities, and a fully autonomous loading court.

        Offered as a stabilized redevelopment opportunity featuring a 30-Year Absolute NNN lease currently in the final stages of execution, with zero ongoing landlord obligations upon commencement. The asset benefits from a significant eight-figure institutional infrastructure overhaul — including an institutional-grade loading court, dedicated dock separation, and heavy-power electrical build-out — creating a virtually irreplicable replacement cost moat at acquisition pricing of approximately 54% of replacement cost.

        The trade area benefits from a large, stable federal military presence providing a reliable, non-cyclical demand layer — insulating NOI from recessionary pressure. ±25,000 SF of Junior Anchor retail upside adjacent to the primary asset creates a clear path to estimated stabilized yield of 7.5–7.9% upon lease-up. An ideal 1031 exchange vehicle with bond-like, passive NNN cash flow upon commencement.

        What Clients Say

        "

        Christopher has spent nearly a year guiding our search, methodically, patiently, and without ever once pushing us toward a deal that wasn't right. He's talked us out of more properties than he's recommended, each time with a clear-eyed explanation of why the presentation didn't match the reality. That level of of honest counsel is extraordinarily rare.

        ★★★★★

        "

        After losing our home in the fires, Christopher helped us navigate one of the most emotional searches of our lives. When negotiations reached a critical point, he made a selfless decision that most agents would never make. Because of it, we got the home. He chose us over himself.

        ★★★★★
        S. & L., Malibu
        "

        What sets Christopher apart isn't just his track record; it's the sheer breadth of his institutional knowledge. Because he has sat on every side of the table: from development and construction to mortgage banking and high-end brokerage. He sees the variables in a commercial deal that most agents simply miss. He approaches a property not just as an asset to be sold, but as a financial vehicle to be optimized. Having worked with him on a complex acquisition, I found his ability to marry sophisticated financial modeling with the white-glove service of a luxury consultant to be a rare, high-value combination. He is a strategist, not just a broker.
