Q: You have an incredible legacy in the real estate industry in Orange County. What does it mean to you to carry on the family name? John Stanaland: Having come from a long line of local family history, it is important to me and I believe with Tyler Stanaland, the legacy is in good hands and will be carried on. Tyler Stanaland: Carrying on the family name is an incredible opportunity and responsibility. I have some big shoes to fill, but am lucky enough to be mentored and taught by the best in the business—my dad. Q: What are your favorite places to relax and unwind in Orange County? JS: That's a hard question. There are so many options. My favorites though are the beach and a good sunset, my boat, the Renaissance ClubSport, Cafe Heidelberg and, last but not least, The Montage. TS: My favorite place to unwind has and always will be the beaches of Laguna. It's a really unique and beautiful stretch of coastline and I'm lucky enough to have been born and raised on its shores. Q: You represent the ultimate in OC homes. Do you still get surprised by what these homes have to offer? JS: Yes!

dad, and constantly in awe and amazed by the incredible homes our community has to offer. Q: What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? JS: Always stay true to your word. Do what you say you are going to do and put your client’s interests before your own. TS: My dad's always shown me the importance of integrity, both personally and in business. A successful real estate career is about creating long term business relationships with clients and that’s rooted in being trustworthy and hardworking. Q: Laguna Beach just celebrated its 90th year. What is your favorite Laguna Beach memory? JS: Being born and raised here, as well as raising my children here, there are so many. I was fortunate enough to grow up in an ocean front property on Victoria Beach. I grew up and am raising my children and doing all of the same with them. In my opinion, there is no better place to live on the planet. TS: It's hard to narrow down my experiences in Laguna Beach to just one, but like my dad, most of my favorite memories are from the beach as well. He taught me to skimboard and surf basically before I could swim. As I got older I was lucky enough to pursue a professional surf career and travel the world and I can absolutely attribute that success to the early days in the water my dad.
