Doug Echelberger

Founder


Doug Echelberger has spent over three decades setting the standard for real estate in San Clemente. Ranked the #1 real estate team in San Clemente and #3 in Orange County, Doug leads with deep local knowledge, intuitive strategy, and a hands-on approach that puts relationships at the center of every transaction. His reputation is built not only on impressive results—but on the trust and care that keeps generations of clients returning and referring.

A lifelong resident of San Clemente, Doug brings a perspective shaped by history, experience, and an unwavering commitment to the community he calls home. As the founder of Echelberger Group and a partner at Inhabit Real Estate, he combines the strength of a top-producing team with the values of a boutique, design-forward brokerage. From record-breaking sales to first-time purchases, Doug delivers a service experience defined by clarity, focus, and calm.

Doug has assembled a curated group of professionals who share his commitment to thoughtful representation and personalized care. Together, they specialize in a full range of property types—from coastal estates and single-family homes to investment, land, and commercial opportunities. Each client benefits from collaborative strategy, sharp market insight, and refined marketing that reflects the quality of the homes they represent.

His experience spans complex scenarios including probate, trust, REO, short sales, and leases—yet what sets Doug apart is his presence. He remains deeply involved, accessible, and focused on aligning each step of the process with the unique goals of the people he serves.

Doug comes from a long line of real estate professionals who helped shape the early real estate landscape of San Clemente. That legacy continues today at Inhabit Real Estate, located in the very office where his family’s original brokerage once stood—a full-circle moment that reflects both his roots and his vision for the future.

At Echelberger Group, Doug leads with purpose. His mission is to offer an elevated real estate experience where insight meets integrity—and where every move is made with care.
