About Laif

Laif McClellan brings a rare combination of hands-on construction experience and strategic real estate insight to every client relationship. He began his construction career at just 19 years old, working his way up in the construction world—from rough framing to foreman—specializing in residential remodels. Over eight years, he honed his skills in project management, budgeting, and understanding a home’s structure inside and out. In 2005, Laif transitioned into real estate, launching his career in the Bay Area. With a family legacy in real estate and a deep foundation in construction, the move felt like a natural progression. By 2009, he became a partner at his brokerage, earning a reputation as a steady, knowledgeable advisor known for navigating shifting markets with confidence and care. Recently, Laif reunited with longtime friend and Harbor High School classmate Erick Fernandez, joining forces at EF Homes with Coldwell Banker Realty. The team’s collaborative spirit and Coldwell Banker’s trusted name, resources, and local leadership made it the perfect fit for the next chapter in his career. Today, Laif leverages his construction background and years of real estate experience to guide buyers with clarity and confidence, and to help sellers achieve top-dollar results. Known for his warm, honest approach, Laif has built a strong, referral-based business rooted in trust, relationships, and results. When he’s not working, you’ll find him outdoors—mountain biking, wakeboarding, boating, surfing, or enjoying beach days with his family.
