Mitch Galyean
I’m Mitch, a Huntington Beach native and California real estate broker with 17 years of experience helping buyers and sellers throughout Huntington Beach and the surrounding Orange County communities. As part of The Galyean Team, I’ve built my business around straightforward advice, strong relationships, and the belief that clients should feel like they have a trusted advisor in their corner, not someone simply trying to make a sale.
My path to real estate wasn’t exactly traditional. Before entering the business, I spent several years in the local music scene, touring with my band, managing artists, and negotiating contracts with record labels, concert venues, and industry vendors. That experience taught me a lot about communication, negotiation, relationships, and finding solutions when different parties don’t necessarily start on the same page.
I earned my real estate license during one of the most difficult housing markets since the Great Depression. Starting my career during those years forced me to learn quickly and gave me an appreciation for how dramatically markets can change. I later earned my California Broker’s license and have continued to approach the business with the same mindset: keep learning, understand the market, communicate clearly, and put the client’s interests first.
Today, I work alongside my dad, Mark, as part of The Galyean Team. We intentionally work with a limited number of clients at a time so we can stay personally involved throughout the process. Whether someone is buying, selling, investing, or simply trying to make sense of their options, my goal is to provide honest guidance and build relationships that continue long after the transaction is finished.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling with my wife and daughters, reading, playing guitar, spending time with family and friends, and planning our next adventure. After visiting more than 20 countries, Huntington Beach is still home.
Mark Galyean
I’m Mark, an Orange County native and California real estate broker who has been working in the industry since 1978. Over nearly five decades in real estate, I’ve experienced just about every kind of market, from rapidly appreciating periods to major downturns, and have helped clients navigate buying, selling, investing, and property ownership throughout Orange County and Southern California.
I earned my Broker’s license in 1981 and later returned to school as an adult, graduating with honors from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in Business Administration and Finance. That combination of practical experience and continued education has shaped the way I approach real estate today: understand the numbers, pay attention to the details, and give clients the information they need to make sound decisions.
One principle has remained constant throughout my career: we’re not salespeople; we’re real estate advisors. I believe our responsibility is to provide honest guidance, even when that guidance may not lead to an immediate transaction. Real estate decisions can have lasting financial and personal consequences, and our clients deserve thoughtful advice rather than pressure.
Today, I work alongside my son, Mitch, as part of The Galyean Team. Together, we combine decades of experience with a hands-on, relationship-driven approach. We intentionally work with a manageable number of clients so we can remain personally involved and provide the level of service, knowledge, and attention we believe every client deserves.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife, children and grandchildren, traveling, surfing, and exploring an ever-growing music collection.
