Builder + Broker

A licensed general contractor and real estate broker, under one roof.

Most people hire an agent to find the property and a contractor to build it — and hope the two see eye to eye. At Levine Homes, they’re the same team.

  • / 01

    One accountable team. Every project is managed personally, with full accountability from first meeting to final walkthrough.

  • / 02

    A contractor’s eye on every deal. We spot structural issues, estimate renovation costs, and identify value a standard agent would miss.

  • / 03

    Local from the start. Founded by Mike Levine, a Hermosa Beach resident who grew up in Manhattan Beach.

The Process

From first call to final walkthrough

We offer a phone consultation to understand your needs, answer your questions, and explore what’s possible. If it’s a good fit, we’ll schedule an on-site meeting to take the next step - no pressure, no obligation.

Purpose

Building should serve people, not just property values. Part of every project supports families in need.

“We’re not just here to create beautiful homes. We’re here to build safety, dignity, and hope - one project at a time.”

Mike Levine · Founder, Levine Homes

Building With Purpose

We’re building shelters in Israel. Help us do more.

On October 7, 2023, Israeli families faced unimaginable attacks. Many are still rebuilding their lives - and urgently need protection.

One shelter is already underway. Your project could help fund the next. When you work with us, you’re not just investing in your home - you’re helping protect someone else’s.

10%

of the profit from every project we complete (up to $100k annually) goes directly toward projects like building bomb shelters for Israeli families in high-risk areas.

Above and Beyond, Without Being Asked – A Rare Kind of Professional

“I’m in a very difficult spot in my home construction right now, and I reached out to local builders just hoping someone would offer guidance. Mike, the owner of Levine Homes, responded almost immediately… He spent an entire hour at the site, giving thoughtful, honest feedback and advice. And again - he didn’t know me and had no obligation to help. I can only imagine the level of dedication he brings to his actual clients.”
