The future of real estate is agent-owned
Inside the evolution of Backbeat Homes — a boutique brand scaled with intention, powered by Side.
Steve Clark founded Backbeat Homes on a simple principle: deliver exceptional service without compromise to clients or to his own integrity. That commitment to authenticity has fueled every relationship, every referral, and every successful transaction over the past two decades.
Today, Backbeat Homes consistently surpasses $100 million in annual sales and earns top rankings at both local and state levels, with thriving offices throughout Los Angeles, the desert communities, Ventura County, and Carpinteria. With robust operational infrastructure in place behind the scenes, Steve and his team remain laser-focused on what matters most: building meaningful, lasting relationships with discerning clients who value substance over shortcuts.

Side gave me the infrastructure to scale my business without losing what makes us special. I own the company; they make sure the back office runs smoothly.
Side provides us with everything we need to grow the company — including best-in-class technology, transaction support, and a dedicated business manager — without the headache of having to run a brokerage.
We operate under a custom brand Side built specifically for us, leveraging a sophisticated growth stack to get our name out there.
The Side App saves us valuable time by streamlining transaction management, integrating multiple systems into a single workflow, and catching mistakes quickly and reliably.
Our Side-licensed managing broker and Agent Support Team are available to help with transactions, and our Success Manager provides strategic guidance to help us hit our growth goals.
Through our partnership with Side, we have access to an exclusive, collaborative community of the very best agents in the country.
Side isn’t for everyone. But for entrepreneurial agents ready to grow, it’s the ideal home base. We built something special. You can, too.
Let’s talk about it.
