There’s something special about May. The weather is perfect, the hills are in full bloom and most importantly, we get to celebrate Mom. After the last year we’ve had, I can’t think of a time more worthy to raise a glass to the women who do so much. I certainly know my wife deserves to imbibe. Not only has she had to deal with me in tight quarters for the past 14 months, she has also been put through the proverbial wringer. Locked down with kiddos, she’s played multiple roles such as a short-order cook, an entertainer to bored kids, and with online classes, has become a superb tutor. Even though we aren’t quite ready for Mother’s Day Brunch at The Ritz-Carlton (like years past) there are plenty of eateries offering patio—and yes—even indoor dining options to celebrate our matriarchs. Please help support the restaurants in our community and treat mom to a nice brunch, lunch, or dinner on Mother’s Day. This month's cover highlights Simon Guy from The Right Guy Realty. The Dana Hills Grad has returned from Central California where he launched his career in real estate and is delivering impressive results for his clients. Find out what makes Simon and his team so successful in this month's featured story. Thanks as always for reading The Local DISH Magazine! Matthew Vicelja, Publisher PUBLISHER Matthew Vicelja

FEATURE

The team is headed by Simon’s wife Daisy, who in addition to developing gorgeous digital and print marketing for clients, also has the most important job: taking care of their two young sons, John and James. Simon’s signature marketing plan ensures that your property is only featured in its best light and is seen by as many potential buyers as possible. Even in a white hot market, optimal positioning is essential to attract the most qualified buyers. Simon and his team will develop a comprehensive marketing campaign for your home, with a proven strategy that’s made him one of the most successful realtors in the county. He takes all of the guesswork and research off your plate and completes the entire transaction in a timely, professional manner. Selling your home is likely the most important financial decision you’ll make. Simon believes in patience during the process; it’s not about taking the first offer, or even one of the first several. In this type of seller’s market, identifying the right offer and advising a client through the negotiation phase into the final closing is best left to an experienced agent. If you’re looking to sell your home, call Simon Guy of Keller Williams OC Coastal Realty. Your time is now. BY VICTORIA KERTZ

It’s a seller’s market and demand for Orange County real estate has reached a fever pitch. Simon Guy, one of the premier agents at Keller Williams OC Coastal Realty, has sold over 500 homes, but he’s never seen a market quite like this. One of Simon’s recent listings attracted 69 showings over a single weekend, received 15 offers, and sold for 10% more than the asking price. Like the last four properties Simon sold, it, too, required no appraisal contingency. Competition for single family homes is fierce. Record low interest rates, coupled with pandemic demand and remote work opportunities, have created a market imbalance. In Orange County, there are typically 5,000 to 7,000 active listings in any given spring, but current inventory levels are approximately 2,300 – not seen since 2006. The work from anywhere culture is driving millennials and Gen-Xers out of the San Diego and Los Angeles areas toward the laid-back vibe of South OC. With excellent schools, charming beach towns, and safe neighborhoods, it’s a market that Simon, who grew up in Dana Point, knows well. The Dana Hills High School graduate now lives in San Juan Capistrano and works from his office in San Clemente, which provides him with a

depth of knowledge about the local area. He realizes that while homes are getting snatched up quickly, today’s market conditions won’t last forever. If you have a property you’ve contemplated selling, there may never be a better time than now.

N OO S G MIN O C

The first step, Simon says, is to hire a full-time professional. Selling property yourself, or listing it with an inexperienced friend, relative or part-time agent, may translate into unforeseen consequences. Simon warns that a lack of information regarding current legal requirements and best practices can result in long-term issues that might have been prevented. "Real estate has been my focus since I was 18,” said Simon. Since then, he’s become a top-selling, award-winning agent, and has built a customer-centric team who gets the job done right. When you work with Simon, you also have the benefit of five specialists, always available to assist. Simon makes certain his clients receive conciergelevel customer service, regardless of property value. His all-inclusive approach to real estate includes an administration and processing specialist, a sales guru, an expert in lead generation, and an escrow agent.

CECILIA’S INTERIORS Cecilia Durkin At Cecilia’s Interiors, they take pride in every stitch they make! Since1969, Cecilia Durkin has been beautifying residential, business and marine interiors in South Orange County. She’s seen styles and fabrics change drastically since she started her business over 50 years ago. With her daughter, Lisa, diligently by her side, these two expert seamstresses have no need to ship out their client’s work. All projects are completed in the on-site workroom, within their corner showroom, located next to Mulligans in the industrial section of North San Clemente. “It’s hard to believe I’ve been in business here for fifty years. We originally started up on Del Mar in the 70s, before making our way down to our current location. Our customers are extremely loyal and their referrals have continued to keep our business steady,” shares Cecilia. Cecilia’s Interiors offers a wide range of products and services to fit its clients’

needs and lifestyles. The company proudly stands behind all of its work. Cecilia and Lisa believe in quality craftsmanship and they use only the best materials for their projects. Specializing in custom draperies and valances, furniture re-upholstery, slip covers and complete bed ensembles (bedspreads, skirts and shams), they welcome any job, no matter how big or small. For your convenience, the showroom houses an array of fabrics to complete your custom job, to suit your style and taste. The company’s rave reviews speak for themselves. Ellendea T. in San Clemente recently posted on Yelp, “I entrusted my two Louis XVI chairs to Cecilia for reupholstering and was delighted with her work. Given the superb attention to detail, I would say the cost is quite reasonable. I highly recommend her. She is often busy, so book ahead for your project.”

HOME IMPROVEMENT SPOTLIGHT

SOUTH COUNTY RESTORATION Casey McCants Business owner Casey McCants knows how devastating pinhole and slab leaks can be. The water damage that occurred in his own home, along with the exorbitant fees that big box restoration companies charge, is what inspired him to add a dedicated team for repiping homes to his company’s offerings.

pass or replace existing pipes. PEX tubing is flexible and can be routed directly in place. This reduces the need to make joints and turns and improves water pressure. A PEX repipe prevents future leaks and is designed to last a lifetime.

Now, South County Restoration is the ultimate one-stop shop. Their comprehensive service includes repiping, water damage restoration, and the expertise to assist with filing insurance claims so that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Another team comes in to repair the drywall, typically two days later. They also do the mitigation, property cleanup and abatement, mold and asbestos testing, and any moving and storage required. Only South County Restoration can repipe your home and repair the walls in as little as three days.

If you’ve been in your home longer than 10 years, or if your neighbor just had to repipe, it may be time for you to do the same. Casey’s team reports to your home at 8 a.m., covers everything in plastic, repipes your home, and provides you with running water that very night.

Call Casey before you contact your insurance company. He advocates for all of his clients when filing claims and billing their insurance company. Since 2008, he’s been working with adjusters to negotiate and reach settlements that are fair.

South County Restoration uses cross-linked polyethylene, better known as PEX, to by-

With a 24/7 Rapid Response Team standing by, and a 49 minute ar-

rival time, call on South County Restoration when trouble arises. This month, Casey is offering $500 off any repipe job. Visit SouthCountyRestoration.com for more details.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

THE ORIGINAL DESIGN TO SELL FIRM When paying a real estate agent to sell your home, you should realize a clear RETURN on your investment. “I couldn't be happier with my experience with Robyn. Even though I'm a broker, and have a masters degree and a career in real estate development, I chose Robyn to handle my personal transaction. She was highly knowledgeable, professional and responsive, and staged the house beautifully. But her vision to make targeted improvements to the house were creative, on point and very profitable. She's excellent!”

As we step out and about, dining with family and friends is high on the list of things to do. One of Dana Point’s best scenes for a casual, al fresco experience is Carlos Restaurant in Dana Point. With its sun-dappled Saltillo-paved patio, outdoor fire pit, ocean breezes and savory fare, we’re reminded of what we’ve been missing at this local gathering place.

NOW OPEN!

28142 Camino Capistrano, #104 | Laguna Niguel

For more than 50 years, Carlos’s has commanded the ample corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Alcazar Drive as the go-to locale for authentic Mexican food. Known for an incredible array of traditional dishes, including Fajitas, Pollo Ranchero, Chili Verde, Menudo and the hard-to-find Nopalitos – the latter two items are uncommonly served 7 days a week. What began as an intimate, familyowned coffee shop in the early 70’s quickly evolved into a beach city staple for authentic Mexican cuisine. Perhaps a bit lesser known, but every bit as delicious, is Carlos’s abundant and fresh selection of seafood options. Fish Tacos, stuffed Seafood Enchiladas and 7 Mares Soup, made with fish, crab, mussels, clams, octopus, calamari, shrimp and vegetables are just some of the popular offerings. My fave is the Camarones A la Diabla featuring spicy jumbo shrimp delicately sauteed in onions, garlic, tomatoes and bell peppers, served with rice, refried beans, and warm tortillas. Craving a hearty breakfast? Carlos Restaurant is also home to a traditional Mexican and American-style breakfast, served each day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The expansive menu boasts all of your morning favorites, including homemade Chorizo and Scrambled Eggs, Huevos Rancheros, Carnitas and Eggs, a selection of freshly-made omelets, breakfast burritos and “choose your size” stack of fluffy pancakes. Stop by for Happy Hour from 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and check out Carlos’s weekly Taco Tuesdays, starting at 2 p.m. Treat yourself to Lobster Wednesdays from 4 to 9 p.m., where mouth-watering garlic, butter-basted whole or half lobsters are grilled to perfection. If you’re celebrating a birthday, baby shower or other special event, call to reserve a cozy corner inside or a tranquil spot on the patio. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Carlos Restaurant is your recipe for relaxation, so take a break from cooking and unwind with a tasty Margarita. Still owned and operated by the same family since 1972, Carlos’s remains a dedicated purveyor of delicious food, always accompanied by warm and friendly service.
