Steve Olson, DRE 01971869, leads a Carlsbad-focused real estate team under Real Brokerage from offices on Avenida Encinas near Poinsettia Park, with a transaction history spanning more than 1,000 residential sales. The team's listing-side work includes pre-sale renovation scoping with TNT Design & Build to identify ROI-positive upgrades before pricing. Olson also publishes The Carlsbad Report, a twice-weekly email covering neighborhood-level MLS data, absorption rates, and price-per-square-foot trends across the Village, La Costa, Aviara, and Bressi Ranch districts. Entity structuring for investment buyers — including LLC vesting, Series LLC formations, and 1031 intermediary selection — involves coordination with Bagla Law Firm, APC before escrow opens. Top-tier engagements involve multi-property IRC Section 1031 exchanges requiring simultaneous identification of up to three replacement properties within the 45-day identification window and 180-day exchange period under Treasury Regulation 1.1031.
