How Community Connections Shape My Coastal Orange County Real Estate Journey
About four years ago, I got a call from someone I’d never met — Catherine Lowe — inviting me to meet and chat about something called The Scout Guide. At the time, I’ll admit, I had never heard of it… rookie move! She encouraged me to attend an event at Where’s the Party, one of those quintessential local spots that perfectly captures the Coastal Orange County vibe.
Within 60 seconds of meeting Catherine, I knew whatever she was doing, I wanted to be part of it. She was sharp, creative, and genuinely lit up about our community — and that kind of energy is contagious. As a Coastal Orange County realtor, I’ve always believed that real estate is about more than homes — it’s about people, stories, and the connections that make our neighborhoods thrive. Catherine embodied all of that from the moment we met.
Fast forward to today — three Scout Guide volumes later — and I’m not only proud to have been featured in The Scout Guide Orange County, but also lucky enough to call Catherine a friend. I’ve even half-jokingly asked her mom if she’d consider adopting me over cocktails (still waiting on an answer, by the way).
Each year, being part of The Scout Guide reminds me why I love what I do. It celebrates the incredible local businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs who make Coastal Orange County such a vibrant place to live. Through this community, I’ve discovered so many inspiring local gems — from Blue Atlas, my go-to boutique for unique gifts, to countless small businesses that bring heart and personality to our coastal towns.
As a lifelong resident and seasoned real estate agent in Coastal Orange County, I take pride not only in helping clients buy and sell homes but in connecting them to the fabric of the community that makes living here so special. From the sun-soaked streets of Newport Beach to the charming neighborhoods of Corona del Mar, my goal has always been to provide more than a transaction — I aim to deliver a seamless, informed, and deeply personal real estate experience.
That’s what sets me apart as a top Orange County realtor — my relationships, my deep local knowledge, and my genuine love for this coastal lifestyle. Whether you’re moving across town or relocating from out of state, you deserve a realtor who knows the nuances of every neighborhood, the hidden gems along the coast, and the stories behind every home.
So here’s to Catherine, The Scout Guide, and to everyone who continues to invest in this incredible community. If you haven’t picked up the latest volume yet, do yourself a favor — go grab one. It’s full of local treasures and inspiring stories that remind us just how lucky we are to call Coastal Orange County home.
And if you ever need guidance in navigating the luxury real estate market in Coastal Orange County, I’d love to help you find your place here — one that feels as authentic, inspiring, and full of possibility as the community itself.
