CLIENT REVIEWS

Read what our clients have to say about working with us.

"The property was listed at $2,500,000, generated multiple all-cash offers within the first week, sold for $2,688,000, and closed in just 11 days."

MARLA ROBINSON

"Another realtor I spoke with insisted I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near the price Paula believed the home could sell for. In the end, Paula was right and helped me get almost $100,000 more than I would have if I had gone with the other agent."

MELANIE WEST

"The result spoke for itself: the house sold in 8 or 9 days after a single open house weekend, for more than our list price, exactly as Paula said it would."

GLENN LANDENBERGER

"Our San Clemente home sold in less than a month for the highest price for that same model with $100,000 over the last closed sale a month prior."

JANE GARLAND

"we had multiple offers that day above what we were asking for. We ended up selling the house for $20,000 more than her asking price."

MARK WARSCHAUER

"Paula Aragone is, by far, the best realtor we have ever worked with in all our years of moving and selling our houses and condos across three states in the U.S."

FAQs

Common Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know

How much does it cost to work with Aragone & Associates?+

We work on a standard real estate commission (typically 2.5 to 3% listing side). For probate, divorce, and trust situations, commission may be negotiated based on complexity. There are no upfront fees. We only get paid when the deal closes.

Three key differentiators: Specialization in high-value sales, complex situations (probate, divorce, trusts), and luxury real estate. Five professional designations plus a law school background. Results: 900+ transactions and $900M+ sold with consistently top Zillow reviews.

What is happening in the Orange County real estate market right now?+

The market is moderately balanced, with prices holding steady in luxury segments and increasing buyer activity. Neighborhoods like Newport Beach and Laguna Beach are seeing 60 to 90 days on market, while more affordable areas move faster.

What is probate real estate and how does it work in Orange County?+

Probate real estate involves selling property that is part of a deceased person's estate. In Orange County, California, the process typically involves filing with the Orange County Superior Court, getting the property appraised, listing it for sale, and potentially going through court confirmation depending on the type of administration. A CPRES-certified specialist like Paula Aragone can guide you through each step.

Can Aragone & Associates help with real estate during a divorce in Orange County?+

Yes. We specialize in divorce real estate across Orange County, acting as a neutral party to help both spouses achieve the best possible outcome on their property sale or division. With a law school background and experience in high-conflict situations, we bring the legal precision that divorce real estate requires.

How long does it take to sell a probate property in California?+

The timeline varies greatly depending on court requirements. Under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA) with full authority, it can be as fast as a traditional sale (30-60 days). If limited authority or full court confirmation is required, the process typically takes 3 to 6 months or longer.
