Meet Aragone & Associates
23 years, 900+ transactions, $900M+ in sales, and one unwavering commitment: Maximize value. Minimize stress.

A Firm Built on Expertise, Trust & Results
Aragone & Associates was founded on an observation Paula made early in her luxury real estate career in Orange County: some of the most valuable estates in the county were selling for a fraction of what they were worth, not because of the property, but because the sale was part of a trust or a probate. Most agents treated that label as a reason to discount the home instead of a reason to market it properly.
Paula built this firm to change that. Drawing on four years of law school and a background in fiduciary duty, contracts, and negotiation, she created a system that gives every trust, probate, and conservatorship sale the same bespoke, red carpet treatment as a luxury listing, including stepping in to fund improvements upfront through our internal process when an estate is asset rich but cash poor, so a lack of liquid cash is never the reason a family settles for less.
Today that system covers probate, trust, conservatorship, guardianship and divorce sales, along with luxury homes, financial institutions and relocating families. Our Downsizing with Distinction program helps seniors and their families move from a longtime home with care and a clear plan.
The standard does not change based on the price point. Whether the transaction is an $8 million coastal estate or a modest inherited condo, every client gets the same commitment: bespoke attention, fast availability, and a first conversation that feels exceptional before a single document is signed. Backed by an international network through Luxury Portfolio International, while operating as a boutique, founder led team, that is the standard behind every specialty we practice.
