For the second year in a row, Ms. Laura Oliver has been selected as one of the top Orange County Agents by local residents, peers, and professionals based on overall satisfaction and the most positive real estate experience. In 2005, after years of working for United Airlines as a flight attendant, Laura decided to make real estate a full time career. She soon had the chance to meet Lee Ann Canaday and began working as an agent with the Canaday Group. Laura has sold many premier estates throughout Orange County since. Laura's exceptional communication and interpersonal skills have allowed her to successfully close complicated transactions while keeping her clients informed throughout the entire process. Managing good client relations is a number priority for Ms. Oliver and is one of the reasons she is the best at what she does! In terms of short sales, Ms. Oliver has managed to close an impressive 97% compared to the average 25-36% the average broker closes. Clients of Laura's are drawn to her magnetic personality, dedication, and integrity, which has allowed her to represent a wide range of clients in multiple real estate transactions. She also had a feature article in Orange Coast's December 2011 Issue. Congratulations Laura and thank you for all of your hard work!

It was a gorgeous morning in Three Arch Bay Community located in South Laguna Beach.  I love this neighborhood with a mix of housing styles from charming cottage homes to incredible contemporary beachfront mansions. The guard gated community offers a private beach for residents complete with fire pits.  Take one of two paths to the beach with a viewing gazebo to sit back and relax.  Residents may enjoy the clubhouse, playground and lighted tennis courts.  Spectacular views throughout of the ocean, Catalina Island, sunsets, dolphins and whales, Dana Point Headlands, Laguna Beach coastline and up to Palos Verdes on a  clear day.  Many homeowners cruise around the community in golf carts.  If you are looking to buy or rent a home in this highly desirable area, call our office today 949.249.2424.
