🏡 From Audiology to Escrow: How I Became Coastal Orange County’s Trusted Realtor
From audiology to escrow, chaos to calendars, coffee to late-night texts — this is me, Annie Clougherty. I’m a top-producing Coastal Orange County Realtor, a mom of three, and the self-proclaimed chaos coordinator-in-chief. My days may start with school drop-offs and end with late-night negotiations, but every moment is fueled by purpose, grit, and an unwavering commitment to my clients.
My Journey: From Listening to Lives to Changing Them
Before real estate, I worked in audiology — a career rooted in listening. That experience taught me the power of truly hearing people — not just their words, but their needs, fears, and aspirations.
Today, I bring that same skill to every client interaction. Whether it’s a first-time homebuyer navigating the market or a seasoned investor expanding their portfolio, I approach each relationship with empathy, precision, and heart.
Real estate isn’t just about closing deals. It’s about understanding lifestyles, anticipating needs, and crafting futures. That’s where my audiology background meets my real estate expertise — a blend of listening and leading that sets me apart in the Coastal Orange County luxury real estate market.
Why Clients Choose Me: Grit, Grace, and Proven Results
Coastal Orange County real estate moves fast. From Newport Beach to Laguna Beach, every neighborhood has its own rhythm, and every transaction has its own challenges. My clients trust me because I bring calm to the chaos — whether it’s coordinating multiple offers, managing timelines, or handling tough negotiations with confidence and professionalism.
I’m not just selling homes — I’m guiding people through some of life’s most important transitions. My approach is equal parts strategic and soulful:
-
Strategic, because I understand data, pricing, and positioning in one of the nation’s most competitive markets.
-
Soulful, because I care deeply about the people behind every property.
My grit drives results, but my heart keeps me grounded. And yes — sometimes, that means showing up to a listing in heels after a soccer game. That’s real life. That’s real estate. That’s me.
Rooted in Community, Driven by Legacy
I live, work, and raise my family right here in Coastal Orange County. This community isn’t just my market — it’s my home. Every sale, every handshake, every client success story contributes to something larger: a legacy of trust, connection, and impact.
For me, it’s not about how many homes I sell. It’s about how many lives I help shape — one closing at a time. My greatest success isn’t measured in numbers, but in the stories of families who find their forever homes, investors who realize their dreams, and neighbors who become lifelong friends.
This Is How Annie Became Annie
Fueled by grit, grounded in heart, and occasionally in heels — I don’t just close deals, I build legacies. For my clients. For my family. And for the community I love.
This is who I am. This is Annie Clougherty, Coastal Orange County Realtor — and this is how I became me.
