Learn MoreWe are a team of six licensed agents at Compass in Newport Beach, and we have been working this market since 2005. Our territory is coastal Orange County, with most of our work concentrated in Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, and Costa Mesa.
Most of our clients are not making a routine move. They are buying a first home, downsizing after decades in the same house, relocating from out of state, or handling a property on behalf of a parent or a trust. Those situations need more than someone to open the door and file the paperwork.
Stephanie was born and raised here, and the team's working territory has barely changed: Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, and Costa Mesa first, then Irvine, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente. The concentration is the point. It is the difference between reading a comparable sale and knowing why it sold for what it did.
Stephanie holds an MBA and is both a Certified Senior Advisor and a Seniors Real Estate Specialist. Dana Strader is an attorney as well as a REALTOR® and also carries the SRES® designation. When a sale involves a trust, several family members with different priorities, or a Proposition 19 question, we know what we can answer ourselves and when to bring in your CPA or estate attorney.
We are a real estate team affiliated with Compass, working out of 1600 Newport Center Drive, Suite 250. Every agent is individually licensed with the California Department of Real Estate, and all six license numbers are printed at the bottom of this page. We would rather you verify than take our word for it.
Six agents means someone can be at a showing, at an inspection, or on the phone with you seven days a week, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. You will not be handed off to an assistant once the agreement is signed, and you should never have to chase us for an update.
Guidance for buyers, sellers, families, and retirees navigating real estate in Coastal Orange County.
It makes a huge difference when it comes to the details. Real estate isn’t just about curbing appeal; it’s about contracts, liability, and negotiation. Because our background includes law and business, we approach every transaction with a level of diligence that many standard agents simply don’t have. We act as your Orange County real estate team and your risk managers, ensuring you’re protected in the fine print and that you get the best possible terms.
We bring a "luxury" standard of service to every client, regardless of price point. While we are recognized as top Luxury Realtors in Newport Beach, we are just as passionate about helping a young couple buy their first condo as we are about selling a waterfront estate. We believe everyone deserves an expert advocate, and we’d be honored to guide you through your journey.
We have agents who are certified Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES®). We understand that moving from a long-term family home is as much an emotional journey as it is a financial one. Our Orange County real estate team is trained to handle these transitions with patience and care. We can help you sort, declutter, and coordinate the move, ensuring you land comfortably in a home that fits your new chapter.
We don’t just work here; we live and breathe these communities. We know the history of the developments in Big Canyon, the specific tide issues on Balboa Island, and the school zones in Eastbluff. As veteran Luxury Realtors, we can tell you how a neighborhood has changed over the last 20 years and where it’s heading next - insight you just can’t get from looking at an online map.
