Who we are
Mike and Marie Gratland are husband-and-wife real estate professionals with over 25 years of experience serving Ventura County and the greater Los Angeles area. As the founders of Gratland & Associates, they have built a reputation as two of the most knowledgeable and results-driven real estate agents in the region — consistently ranked in the Top 1% of agents county-wide since 1999.
Whether you're buying your first home in Thousand Oaks, selling a luxury estate in Westlake Village, navigating a probate sale in Camarillo, or searching for an investment property in Moorpark, Mike and Marie bring the expertise, honesty, and local market knowledge to guide you every step of the way.
Based in Westlake Village and deeply rooted in the Conejo Valley community, they have raised their family here and know these neighborhoods the way only a true local can. That community connection — combined with 25+ years of negotiating, marketing, and closing hundreds of transactions — is what sets Gratland & Associates apart from other real estate agents in Ventura County.
The following are the traditional common-law fiduciary duties that an agent owes their principal:
-
Accounting
-
Reasonable Care and Diligence
-
Confidentiality
-
Obedience
-
Loyalty
-
Disclosure
We take this responsibility very seriously!
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Buying a Home in Ventura County?
We sold our home with Marie and Mike Gratland and we are so happy we chose them! We gave them a hard task: sell our house in the middle of a pandemic for the price we needed to get into our dream house with a view. In record time Marie took pics and a video of our home and put it on the MLS. We sold very quickly because of their work ethic, constant attention to details and professionalism. We are so very grateful to Marie and Mike for everything!

I have worked with many brokers during my investor life in different states and abroad.
I can say that Mike Gratland has been one of the best ones whom I had the pleasure to work with. He is trustworthy, he knows the local market very well and he is an excellent negotiator and takes care of every detail from the beginning to even after closing escrow.
I recommend him without doubt, if you want a broker with these kinds of qualities which are not very common.
