What's Broken About Most Real Estate Teams
You hire the agent on the billboard. You work with someone you've never met.
Most “teams” are one face out front and an invisible bench behind it. You sign a listing agreement with the agent in the photo. Then your calls get routed to an assistant. Then your inspection questions go to someone you haven’t been introduced to. Then your escrow gets handed off again.
Forty days into the deal, you’re not sure who actually works for you.
That’s the model nine times out of ten. We’ve spent 38 years refusing to run it that way.
One primary agent. Start to close. Backed by a real team.
When you hire the Sackin-Stone Team, you get one agent who runs your deal from the first conversation to the keys in your hand. That agent shows you the property. That agent writes the offer. That agent sits across from you at closing.
The bench is real, not decorative. A Transaction Coordinator owns every disclosure and deadline. A Director of Client Care handles the questions that come up between meetings. A Director of Marketing makes sure your listing reaches the right buyers. Specialists step in when their expertise fits, by routing, not by accident.
The same model we built in 1988. Refined for three generations.

Investing

Three things you'll notice in the the first week.
No slogans. The actual differences when you work with us
You'll get the agent you hired.
When you hire Scott, you work with Scott. When you hire Lane, you work with Lane. The bench is for specialty work the agents need backup on, not for offloading you. Your primary agent is your primary agent for the whole deal.
Things won't fall through the cracks.
Joanne, our Transaction Coordinator, has a math and economics degree from UCLA and a decade as a Business Analyst before this. Every disclosure, every deadline, every escrow milestone, every signature has an owner. The agent does the agent work. The TC does the TC work.
You'll be the third or fourth generation of someone we know.
Scott sold a Huntington Beach condo to a young couple in 1988. We’re now selling homes to that couple’s grandchildren. Most clients come to us because their parents or grandparents already did. The proof isn’t a billboard. It’s a phone call from 2025 referencing a closing from 1988.
The clients we hear back from.
574 five-star reviews. These three caught us by surprise.
They handled my 91-year-old mother's house with grace.
“Scott and Philip have been part of our family real estate selling and buying over the past 30+ years, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with these major life decisions. Now they are selling my 91 year old mother’s house that she has lived in for over 40 years. Their sincerity, kindness, and understanding of this difficult time for my mother has made the situation such a pleasant one.”
Sandra S.
Selling her mother’s longtime HB Home
I would hate to think about doing this with anyone else.
“We just completed a real estate deal with Lane Stone, whom we never met. All our conversations were on the phone or via text and email because my wife and I are out of state. We talked to three other reps before we went with him, and there was absolutely no comparison. Lane was totally accessible, even on weekends and holidays. We would add a sixth star if we could.”
Kevin C.
Out-of-state seller, HB property
He never tried to sell us. He taught us.
“Working with Lane to sell our home and buy a new one was an outstanding experience. He is truly an expert in his field, and what we appreciated most was that he never once tried to sell us on something or convince us of anything. Instead, he took the time to share his knowledge so that we could make confident and informed decisions.”
Jordan C.
Sold and bought simultaneously
Three steps. No mystery.
Here’s exactly what working with us looks like, from the first call to the closing table.
Tell us what you're thinking.
Book a 15-minute call or fill out the short form. We ask three questions: what are you trying to do, when do you need to do it, and what’s your address or your search area. No pressure to commit, no canned pitch.
We pair you with the right agent.
Based on what you told us, we match you with the agent whose specialty fits your situation. SRES for right-sizing. Probate-certified for estate sales. First-time-buyer specialists for first homes. You meet your primary agent, and that agent runs your deal.
We close. You move on.
Your primary agent runs the listing, the showings, the offers, the negotiation, the inspection, and escrow. The TC handles the paperwork. The Director of Client Care handles your questions. You close. You get the keys, or the check, or both.

The questions everyone asks before they call.
We do the same job every day. You’re doing it once or twice in a lifetime. Here are the things people want to know before they pick up the phone.
How big is your team and who actually does the work?
Seven sales agents, four full-time operations roles. The agent you hire is the agent on your deal start to close. The operations team (Transaction Coordinator, Director of Client Care, Director of Marketing, Executive Assistant) makes sure nothing slips. You won’t get handed to an assistant you’ve never met.
How long has Sackin-Stone been around?
The team was founded in 1988 by Scott Sackin, who is still on the team and still active. Philip Talbert joined as a partner in 1996. Lane Stone joined in 2009 and is the team’s current Principal Broker Associate. We’ve operated continuously from the same office on Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach since the team was founded.
What areas do you serve?
All of coastal Orange County and adjacent neighborhoods. Strongest concentration in Huntington Beach (Sunset Beach, Huntington Harbour, Downtown HB, Goldenwest Estates), Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and Long Beach. Individual agents also cover parts of LA County, Riverside County, and Ventura County based on their specialties.
What price ranges do you work in?
From $410K starter condos in Downtown Huntington Beach to $4M+ coastal homes in Huntington Harbour. Same service standard at both ends. The team has handled more than 1,500 closed transactions across that full range since 1988.
I'm trying to use Prop 19 to keep my tax basis. Can you help with that?
Yes. Prop 19 is one of the most common reasons coastal OC Boomers call us, and we have a dedicated guide and a specialist (Lane is SRES-certified) who walks through the timing, the eligibility rules, and the tax-basis transfer mechanics before you list. We are not your tax advisor, but we coordinate with yours so the move and the basis transfer happen in the right order.
My situation is a probate or trust sale. Is that a different process?
Yes, and we do this regularly. Lane is Probate and Trust Certified. We work with estate attorneys, executors, and trustees to handle the sale with the discretion and patience these situations require. We’ve sold homes for 91-year-old sellers, for estates settling between siblings, and for trustees managing properties out of state.
38 years. 7 agents. 574 five-star reviews. One primary agent on your deal.
Tell us what you’re trying to do. We’ll match you with the right agent and take it from there.
