MEMO
Coastal Orange County Group Publisher Marc Fiore marc@primeluxury.com Creative Director Luis Rodriguez
W
elcome to Prime – Coastal Orange County Edition.
Graphic Design The Medium Creative Group
Scenic coastlines, pristine beaches, a wealth of outdoor activities, and 340 days of sunshine throughout the year— Coastal Orange County offers a lifestyle package that’s without parallel on the West Coast; actually, the entire world. And what’s more, the area is home to a highly coveted mix of upscale dining, luxury shopping, outstanding school districts and eclectic architecture that’s resonating with an international audience of affluent home buyers. Speaking of international home buyers, this issue of Prime spotlights luxury real estate expert Michael Fawaz, a resident of Newport Coast since 1997, who uses his own international background to connect with investors from across the globe. For the well-traveled professional, who is fluent in Arabic, English, and French, it’s all about sharing the region’s unique lifestyle. “My clients become friends and neighbors, and that’s why I’m very close to what I do”, as Michael confirms in this issues’ Prime Agent Spotlight. Adding to the region’s appeal, a number of rare opportunities have recently come to market, including this issue’s Prime Property Masterpiece. Situated on two lots in the exclusive Crystal Cove community, the over 18,000-square-foot Mediterranean-inspired villa at 8 Mystique is single-handedly the most exclusive property ever listed publicly on the Newport Coast, says listing agent Rex McKown—one of the area’s most seasoned real estate experts at McKown, Weinstein & Partners. But see for yourself, as we tour this one-of-a-kind estate. For this issue’s Trending panel, we ask seasoned real estate professionals about their personal approach to communicating with home owners throughout the [potentially highly stressful] process of selling their property. As it turns out, Harold Noriega (HÔM Sotheby's International Realty), Sylvia Sunday Boisseranc (Century 21 O.M.A.), and Tim Carr (Villa Real Estate) are firm believers in keeping clients in the loop – even to the point of over-communication – as their testimonies reveal. 10 | primeluxury.com

ORANGE COUNTY’S LUXURY REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS WEIGH IN ON CURRENT MARKET TRENDS
W
ith so much at stake during the process of selling a luxury home, the importance of communication between agent and seller can hardly be overstated. A proactive listing agent is the nucleus of the entire transaction and – in an ideal world – guarantees peace of mind for sellers. In this issue, some of the region’s most customer-focused real estate experts share their approach to communication during the sales process. Here are insights from Harold Noriega (HÔM Sotheby's International Realty), Sylvia Sunday Boisseranc (Century 21 O.M.A.), and Tim Carr (Villa Real Estate).
DURING THE SELLING PROCESS, HOW OFTEN AND TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH THE OWNER TO KEEP THEM INFORMED?
HAROLD NORIEGA
SYLVIA SUNDAY BOISSERANC
TIM CARR
“I believe in over-communication. My approach is to be proactive about communicating to my clients constantly during the selling process regarding every single aspect of their real estate transaction. Most of all, this means communicating with my clients in advance and providing them with information and answers before they have to pick up the phone and contact me about a status inquiry. I have learned that this approach really confirms the sellers’ trust in my ability to direct traffic and handle the process of the sale. They can be assured that I am proactive and will be constantly in touch with them.”
“Selling a home is a very emotional process, so I like to be there for my clients and respond to their concerns or questions. That’s why I am always available by phone or email throughout the entire process. I also support sellers in the early stages of the process with broker previews and open houses, and follow up with the seller on that regard. As for the communication frequency, I communicate with my seller on a weekly basis by phone or email. I let the owner know when we are having a showing, and then follow up with what the potential buyers thought of the property. Keeping them in the loop, I let them know what I am doing as far as promoting the listing with advertising and features in top-quality magazines, and share the magazines with them. On a monthly basis, I provide updates on what has sold, what is still on the market comparable to their property, and provide a general overview of the market in the area. Having said that, each listing and client requires special treatment, which I am glad to provide.”
“We keep in close communication with our sellers from the start all the way until escrow closes. During the listing stages, we email updates every two to three days – which we find works well to keep them informed on what’s going on – and touch base via phone at least once every week. We also provide PDF copies of all advertising – both digital and print – that we run on the property, and keep sellers updated on showing activity. Detailed written feedback is always given immediately after each showing. Communication really intensifies once the property is in escrow, and we make sure to keep in touch after escrow closes to ensure that our clients continue to use us as their trusted resource for everything real estate related. Overall, communication just takes the anxiety out of the transaction. Naturally, sellers want to know what is going on and make sure things are on track. So the more we can let them know what is happening, the less anxiety they have to deal with.”

PRIME AGENT SPOTLIGHT
MICHAEL FAWAZ
W
ith over 13 years of real estate experience in Newport Coast, Michael Fawaz is a leading agent at Surterre Properties with over $950 million in sales to date. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, and raised between the South of France and Dubai, Fawaz came into the real estate business after a successful stint at Emirates Airlines, which he remembers fondly: “I was one of the first people to experience the Boeing 777 when I was a part of the team who brought the first airplane from Seattle to Dubai and broke the world record in 1997.” Still reaching for the top – and supporting international clients in Arabic, English, and French – Fawaz has built an outstanding sales record in Newport Coast over the past ten years. A true pillar of the community, Michael supports several local schools and charities, and serves as a director on the boards of numerous philanthropic organizations in Newport Coast, where he has been residing since 1997. For the well-traveled professional, it’s all about sharing the region’s unique lifestyle: “My clients become friends and neighbors, and that’s why I’m very close to what I do.” Here’s Michael Fawaz in our Prime Agent Spotlight.
How would you describe your personal approach and the unique services you offer? My approach is very professional and knowledgeable, offering my clients a large amount of expertise in the luxury marketplace here in Newport Coast. I am also very protective of my clients and committed to ensuring a successful sales process with attention to detail. My offering already begins before listing a property by preparing the house for tours and coaching my clients. I am always personally available through the entire process to provide my full attention, so my clients can always talk to me directly instead of dealing with an assistant. Drawing on your own personal background, you also work with a very international client base. What are the special requirements of international buyers? Between my Emirates Airlines job and the real estate business, I had a good career operating an international trading company, which helped me understand and interact with several other cultures. The majority of international buyers are looking at luxury real estate as an investment, even if they are buying a vacation home or a second home. The most important factor is to invest in a home where their money can grow. From your experience with international buyers, what is the status of Newport Coast on the global luxury real estate market? People around the world today want prestige and lifestyle, and that’s why they come to Newport Coast. The area is building a reputation for privacy and luxury that’s in demand with international buyers right now. What are the biggest general trends in real estate at the moment? Low inventory paired with high demand. We have the lowest inventory in years which has led to prices at an all-time high for sellers. Over the 58 | primeluxury.com
last two years alone, prices have increased over 25% in some Newport Coast neighborhoods. How has this trend affected your local luxury homes market? As prices continue to go up, one of the new trends we are noticing is home owners selling their property at a profit, then using the money to upgrade to a larger house. The main focus here is always on the ocean view properties. What are buyers demanding from luxury homes these days? Buyers are demanding updated homes that are perfectly remodeled and in line with current trends. Nobody wants to perform their own upgrades these days – especially at such prices – so the expectation is for the home to be ready. Right now buyers are looking for modern, contemporary homes with great views, especially here in Newport Coast. Which price points are seeing the most action right now in your area? Properties between $3-6 million constitute the majority of sales in Newport Coast. Mostly houses around 4,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms. It all depends on the size and the view, which in some neighborhoods can make a difference of close to $1.5 million in value, next to other factors.

Speaking of views, what is the number one reason for moving to Newport Coast? Definitely the unique combination of lifestyle, appreciation in property values, luxury and the privacy our area offers. And we are really close to everything from fine dining, great resorts, and upscale shopping at Fashion Island and Crystal Cove.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
THE RICH AND INTRIGUING HISTORY OF COSTA MESA
From apple orchards to oil wells and from “Goat Hill” to “Mackerel Flats,” Costa Mesa has a rich and intriguing history. But the most interesting and important impact on this now famous city began with the purchase of a 40-acre Costa Mesa farm in the late 1800s by Swedish immigrants by the name of Segerstrom. This enterprising family never ceased to work hard and have a vision for their land and, later, for Costa Mesa as a whole. By the 1940s, the Segerstroms were the largest independent growers of lima beans in the nation - and owned more than 2,000 acres of land in Costa Mesa. But the tide really turned for this coastal city after Henry Segerstrom earned his MBA from Stanford University and joined the family business. It was his vision for the Segerstroms to expand into commercial real estate and he led the new endeavor, leasing the family’s local warehouses and building two office towers in Santa Ana. These moves launched a successful new revenue stream, and company (C.J. Segerstrom & Sons), within the former farming-focused family. It also set the stage for an exciting turning point in Costa Mesa history - the Segerstroms’ development of South Coast Plaza in 1967. By all accounts, South Coast Plaza was Henry Segerstrom’s vision and a project he was enduringly passionate about. From Sears and May Company to Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and a full complement of the world’s most prestigious retailers and restaurants, Henry Segerstrom tirelessly and artfully masterminded and created one of the world’s most luxurious shopping centers. All on the site of a previous lima bean farm. Fortunately for Costa Mesa - and for all of Orange County - Henry Segerstrom’s dream for the city was bigger than anyone could have imagined. As the years passed, Segerstrom’s loving legacy to Costa Mesa expanded. In the 1980s, he led the campaign to build the Orange County Performing Arts Center (now known as the Segerstrom Center for the Arts), which brought Broadway musicals and prestigious fine arts performers from around the world to a new cultural center - Costa Mesa. Over the next three decades, Segerstrom’s donation of more than $50 million would see the addition of a new concert hall and even more improvements to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts campus. Before he passed last year, Segerstrom already had set in place plans for another one of his dreams for the City of Costa Mesa: Moving the Orange County Museum of Art from Newport Beach to Costa Mesa, on a parcel of land next to the Renee & Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. While we have so many reasons to be thankful for living in Costa Mesa and its surrounding communities, we all owe a debt of gratitude to Henry Segerstrom and the Segerstrom family for their vision and unwavering commitment to making Costa Mesa a world-class city, with some of the globe’s best cultural offerings, dining, shopping and more at our doorsteps.
