Is your business where you want it to be? Do you have the support you need from your brokerage? What about community? Do you feel like you're part of something special? Arbor Real Estate is looking to add a few key agents to our team in the coming year. Maybe this the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Arbor is the largest boutique real estate brokerage in Orange County. We have worked hard to build an agency we are proud to call our own. Now we are looking to create a legacy as we search for the next generation of sales professionals to not only continue what we have created but to take us to the next level.

Few agencies can offer the support that Arbor provides to our agents on a daily basis. Full-time marketing experts assist them in the

Chinese buyers represent a tremendous new market opportunity for property sellers in Orange County. We sent The Casey O'Connor Group to The Luxury Property Showcase (LPS) in Shanghai last December, but to capture these buyers attention and connect with them we had to speak their language. Arbor agent, Elis Chong helped translate our listings to Chinese and talked to the attendees in our booth and during learning sessions like this one.
Arbor is meeting the challenge of reaching, communicating and engaging with this new market in real ways like what we did in Shanghai. We are continuing to cultivate the relationships we made in China with investors, wealth managers, translators and business people in ways that will benefit our clients for years to come.

Arbor Real Estate's Casey O'Connor Group attended The Luxury Property Showcase (LPS) held in Shanghai, China in December. LPS is an invitation-only event that exclusively welcomes elite agencies from around the world. This year it hosted more than 12,000 prequalified Chinese buyers and investors. 

Casey and her team represented Arbor and highlighted our listings in our Arbor-branded, high-end booth. Casey O'Connor, Elis Chong, and Andrey Potapkin distributed marketing materials and met on-the-spot with attendees. 

Our China initiative is just one example of how we do things differently at Arbor Real Estate. We believe that by reaching outside of the traditional avenues of marketing homes, we add value to our brokerage, agents and our clients.

Arbor Real Estate was founded on the principles of community, teamwork, and inclusiveness. In keeping with those ideals, for the third year, Arbor distributed profit-sharing checks to our agents for the year of 2018. "When I started the firm I always wanted it to be an agent-first type of company," says Chris Brigandi, founder of Arbor Real Estate. "We are honored to be able to hand out more than $100,000 to our agents in the form of profit sharing."  Most real estate agencies have an "every man for themselves" attitude when it comes to their relationship with their agents. At Arbor, we believe that we are better when we work together and that sharing the proceeds of our agency should be part of the deal.  "It's definitely one of the many perks…

We celebrated at The Elk's Lodge and had an amazing time. It's always fun to spend time together as a family.

 

Our Christmas office decorating contest was a great success (and super fun)! The winner — Mesha and her surfing Santa & Rudolph!

For the sixth year, Arbor is sponsoring the "Stoke a Student" campaign in partnership with Surfside Sports in Costa Mesa. We are mixing it up this year and instead of giving away a surfboard we are giving away a snowboard to a B-average elementary, junior high school, or high school student in the Newport-Mesa area.

"We are committed to doing things for our community that will have a positive impact," says Arbor Real Estate's Founder, Chris Brigandi. "I'm proud that 'Stoke a Student' has become so successful. We've given out seven boards to local kids so far, and we are looking forward to having that number grow."

Students -- or their parents -- can enter by filling out an entry form available at Surfside Sports. (No purchase necessary.) The

At Arbor giving back to our community is an essential part of our culture. Last Saturday we hosted a beach clean-up in Newport Beach. With the help of Arbor agent Adam Tomalas we were able to gather 50 locals together and spent the morning cleaning the beach we love. After the clean-up, we celebrated with a party at the Arbor offices. 
Thank you to everyone who came out to help!
