Michael J. Albornoz is a REALTOR® and founder of Empire Realty Solutions, serving Rancho Cucamonga and the greater Inland Empire — including Alta Loma, Etiwanda, Upland, Claremont, Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, Eastvale, Chino and Chino Hills.

Licensed since 2013 (CA DRE #01926840), Michael got into the business at 19 and was mentored by two of Rancho Cucamonga’s top luxury agents, each with more than 25 years in the field. He has since closed more than 300 homes representing over $210 million in career sales volume, and has been named a Top 500 Inland Empire Real Producer every year from 2021 through 2025.

He holds the SFR® (Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource) certification from the National Association of REALTORS®, with training specific to guiding homeowners facing default or weighing a short sale. Having personally flipped and managed more than 20 properties, he also advises buyers on renovation scope and cost before they write an offer — useful on any home that needs work.

Michael works with first-time and move-up buyers, sellers, luxury and new-construction clients, relocation, and investors. His approach is education first: lay out the numbers, explain the trade-offs, and let the family make an informed decision. Outside of work he is a father of two, both in club soccer.
