"Paula Aragone was absolutely incredible to work with. She helped me sell my stepmother's house under very challenging circumstances, and she made the entire process far easier than I ever expected. She handled everything with professionalism, confidence, and care — and helped me get almost $100,000 more than I thought possible."

FAQs

Common Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about our high-end bespoke services.

What is Paula’s track record with luxury properties?+
Paula has represented luxury properties ranging from $2 million to over $50 million across Orange County’s most prestigious communities. With $850M+ in career sales volume, a 102%+ average list-to-sale ratio on luxury listings, and documented gains of up to $2.1 million above asking price, her track record in the luxury tier is among the strongest in Southern California. She is ranked in the top 1% of agents nationwide by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
How do you market a luxury property differently than a standard listing?+
Luxury marketing is a completely different discipline. Paula deploys a bespoke strategy for each property that includes magazine-quality architectural photography, cinematic drone video, a custom single-property website, targeted digital campaigns, print placement in premium publications like Modern Luxury Magazine, and global exposure through Luxury Portfolio International’s network of 500+ portals in 45+ countries. Every element is designed to reach the qualified buyer who will pay the property’s full premium value.
Do you have access to off-market luxury listings?+
Yes. A significant share of Orange County’s finest estate transactions never reach the public MLS. Paula’s exclusive network of top luxury agents, developers, and private equity contacts gives her clients early or exclusive access to properties that are sold privately. For buyers seeking truly exceptional homes, this off-market network is often the most valuable service Paula provides.
Which Orange County communities do you specialize in for luxury real estate?+
Paula specializes in all of Orange County’s luxury communities, with particular depth in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar, Pelican Hill, Crystal Cove, Emerald Bay, Three Arch Bay, and Dana Point. She also serves Coto de Caza, Ladera Ranch, Irvine’s premium neighborhoods, and coastal communities throughout Southern California.
What is Luxury Portfolio International?+
Luxury Portfolio International is the luxury marketing division of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® — the world’s most prestigious global network of independent luxury brokerages. As a member through First Team Real Estate, Paula’s listings receive global distribution across 500+ luxury real estate portals in 45+ countries, with direct access to high-net-worth buyers in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East actively seeking property in Southern California.
How do you determine the right list price for a luxury property?+
Pricing a luxury property is both an art and a science. Paula performs a comprehensive analysis of recent comparable sales, off-market transactions, current active competition, lot premiums, view premiums, and micro-neighborhood demand indicators. She supplements this data with insights from her network of luxury agents and developers. The result is a pricing strategy designed to attract serious qualified buyers while maximizing the seller’s net proceeds — not simply the list price.
