Why SRG
Hard money, conventional, bridge loans — we don't just find your home, we help you finance it. Erin's lending background means fewer delays and more deals that actually close.
Erin O'Connor has closed hundreds of transactions across Coastal North County. That experience means you navigate every market condition with confidence.
Mikel Palmerin is co-founder of The Palmerin Group — a family construction and development company. That means renovation feasibility, ADU analysis, and flip potential assessed before you ever make an offer.
As part of Keller Williams La Jolla — one of the top brokerages in the US — we bring global reach, powerful technology, and a referral network no independent team can match.
Mikel's professional athlete career and global network opens doors most agents never reach — executives, athletes, and high earners relocating to Coastal San Diego.
Our direct relationship with Lantzman Lending — one of San Diego's top hard money teams — means fix-and-flip investors can close in as little as 10 days.
The only coastal team with a 24/7 AI real estate guide built into the site. VOYA answers questions, educates buyers and sellers, and routes serious leads directly to the team.
Between Erin's transaction network and Mikel's connections, we regularly access properties before they hit the MLS — giving our buyers a genuine competitive edge.
The Team
Sustainable Realty Group is built on two things most real estate teams can't offer together: deep market experience and genuine financial expertise.
Erin O'Connor brings hundreds of San Diego transactions, hard money lending, and conventional financing — meaning your deal doesn't stall when financing gets complicated. Mikel Palmerin brings a professional athlete's network, a relentless work ethic, and access to clients most agents never meet.
Mikel is also co-founder of The Palmerin Group — a family construction and development company. That construction lens means every property gets evaluated not just on price, but on potential. Renovation scope, ADU feasibility, structural integrity, flip analysis — it's all assessed before you commit.
Together, under Keller Williams La Jolla, we cover everything from your first showing to closing day — real estate, lending, and construction all under one roof.

Mikel's network is real. He introduced us to our buyer before we even listed. We sold above asking in 6 days. These aren't just agents — they actually understand the investment side of real estate.
