Unparalleled Experience in Coastal Orange County Real Estate
In sports, a team that plays together longer almost inevitably becomes better. Players mature, they become more versatile and experienced, they learn how to leverage the strengths of each of their fellow team members.
The Mike Johnson Group has done just this - we are a group of seasoned real estate professionals who each stand strongly on our own, and - across years of working together - can bring each of our clients and friends the power of a high performing team.
A single name in the ‘marquee’ does not begin to tell the story of who we are.
Nick, Paulo, Sylvia, Kristine, Andrew, Tara and yes, Mike are a group of equals who, combined, bring a depth of experience in our local coastal market few can match.
In architecture, an alcove is a special place, a sanctuary created with purpose… a safe spot that offers perfect belonging.
In nature, alcoves do the same. A cove offers shelter along the shoreline, shape the character of the coast.
We take pride in our work - helping people find their special place in the world. And, we know we don’t do this alone - we work with each other, our clients and friends, and our colleagues collectively to produce the best possible outcome. This only comes with expertise and intention. Life by design, and still powered by the unparalleled technology of Compass.
This is why we are excited to become the Alcove Collective.
California coastal real estate is some of the most dramatic and beautiful in the world. And, often, the most confounding to understand.
ALCOVE COLLECTIVE - Mike Johnson, Paulo Prietto, Nick Hooper, Sylvia Ames, Kristine Flynn, Andrew Graff, & Tara Bunker – bring a depth of experience unparalleled by most real estate professionals with more than 85 years of combined coastal Orange County experience and more than $2+ billion in local real estate transactions.
With that experience comes an uncanny ability to unravel this confusing marketplace for our clients. With varied talents on tap, every client – no matter which member of the team they are working with – has access to the expertise of every team member.

I have had over six transactions with Michael Johnson's group and I keep going back because of the caring and professional manner they conduct themselves. Michael Jo...
Wow! That was painless, amazing! You have been so very patient, put up with my impatience, lack of time and never being there, thank you Nick!
Mike and his group have been exceptional to work with. He is easy to work with and always available. I was able to do everything remotely. They are true professionals.
Michael Johnson sets the standard for his group and they are all wonderful.
