Southern California native Lisa Mailhot handles homebuying and selling, investment property, and multiresidential unit transactions, but she specializes in her clients, expertly guiding them through the process while mitigating potential pitfalls. Lisa has honed her property and market savvy as a professional agent and personal investor, bringing a well-rounded perspective to all facets of her clients' real estate deals. Earning top-producer status for herself and on behalf of her team, Lisa has achieved almost $50 million in transaction volume throughout her career.
Before becoming an agent, Lisa was a real estate investor for three years. Fresh off of mentorship training and diving into hundreds of industry-related seminars and events, she began flipping homes. One property turned into a dozen, and Lisa realized she enjoyed solving complex issues for buyers and sellers more than overseeing renovations. By the time she earned her license, she was intimately familiar with the rollercoaster ride, challenges, and intricacies of real estate, and she was christened with the creative thinking skills that she's enhanced every transaction with since. Lisa further draws from her previous sales career and bar ownership experience, where she learned about leadership, management, and negotiations and how to respond to high-level, high-pressure responsibilities with calm logic.
Lisa works diligently to fulfill her clients' needs, designating herself as their partner and virtually limitless resource, from connecting her buyers and sellers to service and maintenance professionals to directing them to the best restaurants and hot spots around town. Most importantly, Lisa is their long-term wealth advisor, respecting their greatest assets beyond closing with life estate planning, portfolio and equity updates, and other financial guidance.
Away from real estate, Lisa enjoys reading, cooking, hiking, and other outdoor activities. She also supports and volunteers for various organizations when she can, with a particular passion for Loma Linda University Children's Hospital and St. Jude's.

What clients say about this agent....
For the TL:DR types - If Lisa and her team are not your realtor group, you are leaving money on the table. The Laurel Group provides exceptional outcomes and have easily outperformed (by a wide margin) every other agency I have ever worked with. All aspects of their approach will leave their customers wondering how other realtors are still in business. (Or, at least, not providing a discount) We have worked with Lisa once before in 2019. In April and May this year, we had a Yucaipa area purchase and sale with Laurel Group. Highlights: - Initial market analysis of sale was absolutely spot on (25k range provided, we netted 4k from top and 27k over ask) - Insanely fast response on lender qualification prior to our purchase offer (not pre-qual, this strengthened our buyer position) - Shared status update webpage/tracking system that kept all parties aligned and reminded of all the activities that sale or purchase include - Prep for showing and photography were excellent, open house came off like a model home - Timing of generating interest with "coming soon" following closely by the open house created a massive population during the open house I can, without reservation, say that we crushed expectations on our home sale. I am convinced that we could not have had nearly the same performance without Lisa and her team. The Laurel Group have earned any future SoCal activity we might have. Simply put, I cannot recommend the Laurel Group more highly.
Tia was by far the best agent that I've ever had. She was diligent, professional, and always got back to me when my wife when we had any questions. She worked hard to get us what we wanted and will defiantly be using her in the future.
Lisa definitely made a world of difference in our home purchasing experience. Cherise is also wonderful as well and always keeps us up to date on what documents need to be signed so we don't forget. We were very fortunate to have both Lisa and Cherise on our team in purchasing our new home. We would definitely recommend them to our friends. Thank you Lisa and Cherise!
Lisa and her team was amazing! You are in great hands and will not be disappointed. We sold our home with Lisa in May and the transaction was so smooth. We knew every step of the way and what was happening next. Their office was very professional and punctual. Thank you again for all your hard work!!
Lisa Mailhot and her team were amazing and very helpful every step of the way would recommend there services to anyone that is buying and selling a home!! Wonderful Experience all around!!
happy with them as a team. They did everything I needed and more.they were very helpful. I couldn't think of anything I was not happy with. Knowledge of the market experience can go a long way
I was linked up with Cassie on a lucky connection on a weekend trip to Palm Springs where I'd hoped to look at some properties but hadn't planned well in advance. No problem -- she was fun and quick and responsive and set up viewings ASAP for the next day, unfazed by 116-degree heat and piles of COVID releases, and was walking me through an offer on a dream house by Sunday evening. The market for buyers was insane, and someone else nabbed that choice the same night before we even had a chance, but over the next weeks as I chased after opportunities, Cassie was a well of insider expertise on the area and property knowledge and where the market was going and how to navigate the buying process, including surprising quirks of making an offer that became the deciding factor for the seller who ultimately chose my bid. When the closing process turned to linking up with lenders, appraisals, etc., I got a better mortgage rate compared with the bank I started with because of a better lender Cassie linked me to. When an unavoidable hurdle with some associated land caused a delay, Cassie negotiated a solution that was creative and satisfied everyone involved and got everyone moved and where they needed to be. I'd totally work with her again, and on top of all that she's just a pleasure to have on your side for all the ups and downs and winding roads of buying your home sweet home.
Was easy to communicate and work with. Was able to get under asking price. Answered our questions in a timely manor. Would highly recommend this agent.
The Dream Team is the perfect name, as Jonathan has made the dream of purchasing the perfect home for my family a reality. My Fiance and i first met Jonathan in the beginning of March 2020. It was important for us to work with somebody we could trust and that was knowledgeable as we were in the middle of wanting to sell our previous home, planning our wedding and preparing to blend our family of 7 ,so time was of the essence. At the beginning of our search for our new home, Covid-19 occured! We thought that our dream to sell and purchase a house that will fit our new family was going to come to a halt-but it didn't! Jonathan and the AMAZING team were on top of it! Jonathan was diligent at making sure that our journey continued while staying safe. He sent us houses everyday, communicated with us daily, checked in with us and made sure that the WHOLE process (selling AND purchasing) was going smooth and even set up late zoom meetings with us to accommodate our work schedules when we had questions. We did many virtual tours and when allowed, were able to view houses that were vacant . Jonathan was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and very knowledgeable. Working with Jonathan it is evident that he truly does care about the well-being of your family and is genuine in his passion to find you THE PERFECT HOME. As i mentioned before, we met Jonathan in March 2020, by April we had found THE house and were in escrow in BOTH houses ( our old house and NEW house) by the start of May. The day we met Jonathan he told us that trust is very important in the agent/buyer relationship and that he would gain our trust. He did for sure-and more! We have recommended Jonathan to our family and friends and look forward to working with him in the near future for our purchase in an investment property. Thank you Jonathan!!
Jonathon is top notch! He is always available if we have questions about documents before signing. he even helped us get legal advise at the push of a button. He worked with our request and found the home we are currently buying within a week of our pre approval which exceeded any expectations we could ever have. I never felt pressured or guided to make a decision. Jonathan cared about what we wanted and made sure we did not settle for less. We are extremely grateful for everything he has done to help us in this process. Again TOP NOTCH!
