We are proud to announce the launch of our new mobile app, designed to provide our clients with a convenient and powerful search experience to make home shopping easier than ever. It allows home shoppers to search for a home using various criteria from the location, size and price of the home, to features such as fireplaces, pools, waterfront properties, and other amenities, for a more in-depth home search.

We write a lot about home design and decor trends with the hope of helping you make your home your own. And every year, we like to start the year off with a list of some trends to look out for (this year’s list is coming soon!). Constantly, these trends are changing and being retired to make way for the latest, greatest trends. And it’s easy to get dizzy trying to follow all of the trends. Realtor.com has put together a list of what trends they expect will retire this year: 10 Tired Interior Design Trends.

You have everything figured out for your Christmas party: appetizers, entrees, music, and decor… But what about dessert?

Every year, as many as 100 boats, decked out in their Christmas best, parade along a 14-mile route in Newport Harbor. Boats of all shapes and sizes join in the parade fun, everything from kayaks and canoes to 100-foot super-yachts. This year marks the 109th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, a tradition that has been running almost since the city’s founding.

As the top real estate team in Big Canyon, Natalie Raney and Lindsay Bibb are experts in this exclusive golf course community.

During the holidays, Roger’s Gardens is an Orange County destination for all things holiday decor related.

The holidays are approaching quickly! Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is just a few weeks after. With all the parties and get-togethers with friends and family, some of us are going to end up hosting several of them. Definitely not a bad thing, but as the holiday season gets busier and busier, we don’t always have time to plan out every single detail in advance. So, if you’ve ever found yourself panicking 30 minutes before guests arrive because your home is just off, these tips are for you.

We are given ample opportunity to fall in love with the latest home fashions, compliments of the large variety of home improvement TV shows, magazines, catalogs, and showrooms. The problem is that not every style and home fashion works with every home. Sometimes that oversized comfy couch just doesn’t go with the living room, and that beautiful dining room set seemed so much larger online. No one wants that to happen.
