Southern California Luxury Homes

When shopping for a Southern California luxury homes, there are many cities to choose from and many things to consider.   Find luxury real estate listings for sale in Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Coast, Corona Del Mar, Dana Point and San Clemente. Get luxury homes for sale in Southern California in Orange County. 
 

Questions to Consider for your Luxury Home:

  • Do you want to live by the ocean, inland or in the mountains? 
  • Do you want a view? 
  • What style of neighborhood do you prefer?
  • Do you want a gated community, on a golf course, the sand of a beach or near a lake? 
  • What amenities do you want in your next home?

Research the neighborhoods, styles, price ranges and more.  Pay attention to lawns.  Lawns? yep. Lawns or front yards.  If a home looks great from the curb, it looks great inside.  A study was done by the National Association of Realtors on home purchases and they found that 92% of all homes sales were made by "curb appeal.


That is a hard number to argue over.  So, keep focused on the curb appeal of each home.

There are many great neighborhoods in Southern California to live in that offer luxury homes from the beach communities like:
Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Sunset Beach, Surfside, San Clemente, Dana Point, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Santa Monica and Malibu. 

Meet with a
buyer consultant not someone that classifies themselves as an agent.  What is the difference?  The buyer consultant will listen and advise you, the agent will try to sell you something.  Both have California real estate licenses but you can tell the difference in their communication with you. 

Another important key is to make a
commitment to one buyer consultant.  Purchasing a home in Southern California is going to be an adventure.  You need to have someone on your side through the entire transaction representing your interests first. 

If you have a lot of real estate professionals searching for homes, well, some are going to be wasting their time, since you are only going, in most cases, to buy one property.  And, it is really not fair to them since they only get compensated from the seller at the close of escrow in most situations.  As an employee for a company, whether you own it or work there, I'm sure you like to get paid for your work...and real estate professionals do too.

There are six real estate multiple listing services in Southern California.  Make sure that the professional that you hire has access to all of them just in case a listing agent forgot to put their listing on the Internet or into the other multiple listing services.  It happens.

When doing a search for
homes for sale in Southern California online, if you find a property that doesn't have any pictures, ask your professional to take some and email you.
