Meet The Team

Stewart’s passion for real estate is rooted in two childhood mantras: “there’s no place like home” and “home is where the heart is.” He knows firsthand that finding—or selling—the right home ranks among life’s most stressful milestones. That’s why Stewart built his career on empathy, clear communication, and unwavering support, turning an often-daunting process into an empowering journey for every client.

Entering the property world at just 20 years old, Stewart discovered a natural talent for forging strong, trust-based relationships. Over the past 15 years, he has successfully closed more than 400 transactions across two dynamic markets—London and South Orange County—handling homes with an average value of $1.3 million. His dual-market experience gives him a rare, global perspective on luxury and lifestyle-driven real estate, whether guiding first-time buyers through competitive California neighborhoods or helping international clients navigate London’s historic districts.

Stewart combines this proven track record with a meticulous, data-driven approach. He conducts in-depth market analyses, crafts targeted marketing campaigns, and leverages a network of top-tier lenders, inspectors, and designers to ensure properties achieve maximum exposure. Skilled in negotiation and contract structuring, he consistently secures optimal terms and pricing, protecting his clients’ interests at every turn.

What sets Stewart apart is his commitment to providing a bespoke experience. From scheduling private showings around busy careers to coordinating professional staging and virtual tours for out-of-town buyers, he handles every logistical detail so clients can focus on what matters most. With transparent updates and strategic guidance throughout the transaction, Stewart delivers not just exceptional results for you, but true peace of mind.
