Orange County Realtors

[Karen Margrave]

Hi Orange County! I lived down there a few years back and we were doing spec new construction. I love the area. My daughter has bought a Big Block Real Estate franchise for Orange County and Shasta County and will be opening an office soon. Curious on any of the agents on BP, are you with a franchise? How long have you been there? What is it that you look for in affiliating yourself with an office, etc. There's been lots of discussions on EXP. Big Block has several different options including teams, 100% commissions, teams, etc. there's so many variables now days. 

The market is changing so much, with Zillow buying homes, doing loans, etc. , and I'm just curious as to where people are going, what it is they look at in an office, etc. What areas of O.C. do you work? 

When we moved down there, being new to the area we went for the coastal areas, knowing they're always the most in demand, but also the most expensive. We lived in Newport Beach, Irvine, and Lake Forest, but built in in San Clemente and Dana Point. What markets do you like?

@Joe Homs are you still doing the Meetup?
