Orange County Luxury Real Estate Newport Beach, Corona del Mar and the coastal enclaves
Guiding high net worth buyers and sellers through Orange County's most prestigious transactions, with discretion, global reach, and unmatched results. 900+ transactions and $900M+ sold across 23 years in the market.
Luxury representation in Orange County comes down to time, privacy and reach. Paula has represented properties from $2 million to more than $50 million, with a 102% or better average list to sale ratio, private off market access for buyers, pre qualified showings for sellers, and global exposure through Luxury Portfolio International.
Time and Privacy, on Both Sides of the Sale
Luxury buyers and sellers are not just choosing an agent, they are choosing who represents their name, their time, and their story in a small, connected community where reputation travels fast.
For buyers, what matters most is time and privacy. My luxury buyers get a bespoke concierge buyer system: private, off-market access to properties before they reach the open market, confidential showings on your schedule, and a confidentiality agreement in place whenever you need an extra layer of discretion, a public figure, an executive relocation, or simply a preference for privacy. You are not spending weekends touring homes that do not fit. You are seeing the right property first, quietly, without your search becoming anyone else's conversation.
For sellers, it is the same two priorities, time and privacy, plus a third: making sure the right buyer finds your home in the right way. Every showing starts with a qualified, pre-vetted buyer, proof of funds or lender pre-approval before anyone walks through your door. If you would rather test the market quietly first, I can launch your home through a private “coming soon” preview before it goes fully public, and I will put a confidentiality agreement in place if your situation calls for one. Your marketing campaign is curated specifically around your property and the buyer most likely to want it, backed by global reach through Luxury Portfolio International, not a generic listing blasted to every agent in Orange County.
That same standard, protecting your time, protecting your privacy, and a plan built around your lifestyle instead of a generic script, is exactly what I bring to every other specialty at my firm, because luxury service was never meant to be reserved for one type of sale.
Big company power, boutique level service
Every client gets the reach of one of the largest independent real estate companies in the country, First Team, and the global reputation of Luxury Portfolio International across 800+ premier cities, without losing the attention of working directly with me and a small team that knows your name.
Marketing with real numbers behind it
Your property is marketed by an in house agency with nearly 75 years of combined experience across real estate, luxury and top global consumer brands, with digital campaigns live the moment your home hits the market and detailed reporting on impressions, reach and buyer activity.
You are never waiting
My team and I make sure you are never waiting, day or night, whether you reach out by text, email or a call.

What Our Clients Say

"If you value your time and money, and you want someone who can transform a difficult issue into a successful end, Paula is the person for you."
"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."
"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!"
"Paula is a rare jewel in her field. Her work ethic is flawless and she clearly has superior knowledge of her complicated field. She provided accurate and reliable feedback throughout the entire process. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
