What Our Clients Say

Over 900 satisfied clients across Orange County

★★★★★

"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."

Melanie West · Zillow
★★★★★

"Paula Aragone was recommended to us by a fellow colleague at UCI. Even though we had bought and sold several homes over the years, she made us feel supported every step of the way. She is always on your side and truly the best realtor we have ever worked with in all our years of buying and selling. We give her our highest recommendation!"

Guscarlo · Zillow

Z
Peter Somogyi · Zillow
★★★★★

"Paula secured more than the asking price on a property that other agents deemed a teardown. She redefined what tenacity, dedication, and excellence mean in real estate. If you want someone who fights for every dollar you deserve, look no further than Paula Aragone."

D. Tereschuk · Zillow
★★★★★

"Paula sold our Villa Park home for $55,000 above the listing price. She was firm but fair, and worked out a deal that was a true win-win. Her negotiation skills are unmatched — we couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!"

TKG San Diego · Zillow
★★★★★

"Most professional woman with excellent communication skills. After my mother passed, Paula guided our family through selling her home with such compassion and expertise. She made an incredibly difficult time into a seamless process. Best decision we could have made."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions for Buyers

How long does the home buying process typically take in Orange County?+
The home buying process typically takes 30-45 days from offer acceptance to closing, though it can vary based on financing, inspections, and appraisals. In competitive Orange County markets like Newport Beach and Irvine, having your pre-approval and team in place can speed up the timeline significantly. Aragone & Associates guides you through each step and keeps you informed of timelines throughout.
Do I need a mortgage pre-approval before looking at homes?+
We strongly recommend getting a mortgage pre-approval before beginning your home search. In Orange County's competitive market, sellers and their agents view pre-approved buyers much more favorably. It strengthens your offer position and helps us focus on homes within your ideal price range. We can connect you with trusted local lenders who understand the Orange County market.
What are typical closing costs when buying a home in Orange County?+
Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the home's purchase price and include loan origination fees, title insurance, inspections, appraisals, and taxes. Aragone & Associates provides a detailed Closing Disclosure 3 days before closing so you know exactly what to expect, and we negotiate to minimize your costs wherever possible.
How do you help buyers compete in multiple-offer situations?+
With 23+ years of Orange County experience and 900+ closed transactions, we use market data, comparable sales analysis, and strategic timing to craft winning offers. We advise on offer price, contingency strategy, earnest money positioning, and terms that appeal to sellers — helping you win without overpaying. Our strong reputation with listing agents throughout Orange County also gives our clients a competitive advantage.
Do you have access to off-market properties in Orange County?+
Yes — through First Team Real Estate's extensive agent network, Luxury Portfolio International, and our decades of relationships with sellers and other agents, we frequently access off-market and pre-market properties that never appear on public listing sites. This gives our buyers exclusive opportunities in some of Orange County's most desirable neighborhoods.
What sets Aragone & Associates apart from other buyer agents?+
Our combination of 23+ years of local expertise, support from First Team Real Estate and Luxury Portfolio International, exclusive off-market access, and a proven track record of 900+ transactions and $850M+ in sales make us Orange County's trusted buyer advocates. Every client also receives lifetime enrollment in our VIP Client Program with annual home valuations, preferred vendor access, and priority notification on new opportunities.
