NWPRT x Annie Clougherty: A Newport Beach Collaboration Celebrating Local Business and Community
Newport Beach real estate agent Annie Clougherty of SERHANT. partners with local lifestyle brand NWPRT for a limited-edition Newport Beach hat celebrating community, local businesses, and the people who make this coastal city special.
Nobody wants Realtor merch. I'm a Realtor, and I don't even want Realtor merch.
But when Brad Barton of NWPRT approached me about collaborating, I was genuinely over the moon.
For those who live in Newport Beach, California, NWPRT is more than a recognizable local clothing brand. It's become part of our community, representing the coastal lifestyle, local pride, and the people who make Newport Beach such a special place to call home.
As someone who has spent more than 20 years helping people buy and sell real estate throughout Newport Beach and coastal Orange County, I know that what makes a community desirable goes far beyond its homes. It's the local businesses, relationships, traditions, and people who create a sense of belonging.
That's exactly why this collaboration means so much to me.
Supporting a Newport Beach Brand That Supports Its Community
Brad Barton has built something really special with NWPRT. What I admire most isn't simply the popularity of the brand, but the way he's used it to celebrate and support Newport Beach.
NWPRT has collaborated with local organizations, including the Newport Beach Fire Department and our lifeguards, recognizing the people who serve and protect our community.
There's something special about a local business that becomes part of a city's identity. You see NWPRT hats around Newport Beach, from neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants to the harbor, beaches, and local events.
It's a brand people genuinely want to wear because it represents a place they love.
When Brad approached me about collaborating, I was incredibly honored. I also wanted to make sure my branding never overshadowed what he had already created. This wasn't about turning a beloved Newport Beach hat into a real estate advertisement. It was about celebrating NWPRT and the community behind it.
We decided to keep the design people already know and love, with just a tiny AC on the side.
Always Closing. Obviously.
A little real estate humor, but more importantly, a collaboration that stays true to the original brand.
Why Local Businesses Matter to Newport Beach Real Estate
One of the things I've always loved about living and working in Newport Beach is how connected our community feels.
Newport Beach is known for its beautiful coastal homes, waterfront properties, beaches, harbor, and luxury real estate. But those things alone aren't what make people want to stay here for generations.
It's the neighborhood restaurants where you recognize the owners, the local shops that support community events, the families who have been here for decades, and the businesses that give back.
Whether I'm showing a waterfront home on Balboa Island, a property in Newport Heights, or a luxury estate in Newport Coast, I'm not just talking about square footage, architecture, or property values. I'm talking about the lifestyle and the community that come with living here.
For buyers relocating to Newport Beach, understanding the local community can be just as important as understanding the real estate market.
For longtime residents, supporting our local businesses helps preserve the character that makes our neighborhoods unique.
I believe being a Newport Beach real estate agent means more than helping someone through a transaction. It means being invested in the community, supporting the people who live and work here, and building relationships that last long after a home closes escrow.
Introducing the NWPRT x Annie Clougherty Hat
I'm so excited to finally share our NWPRT x Annie Clougherty collaboration.
The design is intentionally simple. It's the recognizable NWPRT Newport Beach hat, with a small AC detail on the side representing Annie Clougherty and our little inside joke, Always Closing.
No oversized real estate logos. No turning something people love into another promotional item. Just a small detail celebrating a partnership between a local Newport Beach business and a real estate team that loves this community.
The best part is that I'm giving the hats away!
