Teles Properties Presents – Mike McKibben, Newport Beach Native

Press Release

June 2010

Newport Beach, Ca.


Teles Properties Presents – Mike McKibben, Newport Beach Native

A third-generation native of Newport Beach who was raised on Balboa Island, Mike McKibben is eager to share his affection for and knowledge of the area.  “Everybody knows coastal Orange County is beautiful, but the things that people can’t see—like school districts and community involvement—are equally important,” Mike says.  “They are what truly make a neighborhood special, and I know how valuable that information is to my clients.”

Mike launched his real estate career in 2003 at one of the region’s top real estate firms. He stays true to his roots by focusing primarily on high-end coastal properties that stretch from Newport Beach to Laguna Beach, as well as Eastside Costa Mesa, Shady Canyon, and southern Orange County.

Mike has represented both buyers and sellers in nearly every city in coastal Orange County. He is one of the few Realtors in the region to hold the coveted SFR designation, the only short sale certification recognized by the National Association of Realtors.

Press Release

Newport Beach, Ca.

Teles Properties Presents Brian BackstromSuccess to a tee

A passion for architecture, an enduring affection for the Newport Coast and a flair for client service have propelled Brian Backstrom into his current position as one of Orange County’s most respected and successful real estate professionals.

Specializing in Shady Canyon, Newport Coast, Crystal Cove and Newport Beach, Brian started buying and selling his own homes. One of his first sales in Pelican Crest, a high-end community in Newport Coast, inspired him to shift careers from the high-tech industry into residential home sales nearly a decade ago. Since then Brian has built an impressive roster of repeat and referral clients as well as award-winning sales.

“Teles Properties is designed to forge a dynamic partnership between client, agent and company,” says Peter Hernandez, President and COO. “Our goal is to be exceptional in every phase of the home-selling process. With the addition of Brian Backstrom, we feel we are one step closer to reaching our goal. Brian is a dynamic, positive, driven agent whose accomplishments speak for themselves. Teles’s own technologically minded business model, from paperless transactions to extensive Internet marketing solutions, provide a wealth of support and allow Brian to provide the highest level of service in the industry.”

Brian and his wife, who are avid golfers, live with their three children in Shady Canyon. “We feel that we are early pioneers in this fabulous community,” he says. “We love the open space and young families. We have made so many friends and long-lasting relationships and look forward to spending many more years here.”
