The Aaronson Group, led by REALTOR® Kevin Aaronson at Keller Williams Realty and KW Luxury Homes International, walks relocating buyers and sellers through luxury real estate transactions across coastal Orange County. From Newport Beach and Newport Coast to Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano, the team delivers concierge-level coordination for executive moves, retiree migrations, international purchases, and tech-industry relocations. With more than 28 years of California real estate experience, over 1,000 closings, and access to the global KW Luxury Homes International network, the aim is a smooth landing into the coastal Orange County community that fits the family’s life.

Who This Service Is For

  • Executive relocation clients moving for employment
  • Out-of-state and international buyers purchasing a primary or secondary residence
  • Retirees migrating to coastal Orange County from Northern California, the Northeast, or the Pacific Northwest
  • High-net-worth families relocating from technology hubs
  • Sellers leaving a coastal Orange County home for retirement, second-home, or estate planning purposes
  • Corporate HR teams and relocation companies seeking a local coastal Orange County partner

Common Challenges

A luxury relocation rarely follows the same playbook as a local move. Relocating clients often arrive juggling several pressures at once:

  • Limited physical access to coastal Orange County neighborhoods during the active search
  • Time-zone coordination on showings, signings, and inspections
  • Matching lifestyle priorities (ocean views, harbor access, gated security, schools, golf, walkability) to the right city and micromarket
  • Off-market and coming-soon access without a strong local network
  • School district decisions and family transition planning
  • Out-of-state agent referrals requiring careful coordination
  • Title, escrow, and disclosure differences from other states
  • Currency, tax, and FIRPTA considerations for international buyers

How the Agent Helps

Kevin Aaronson and The Aaronson Group support luxury relocations across coastal Orange County by:

  • Beginning with an in-depth phone or video consultation to map lifestyle priorities to cities and neighborhoods
  • Curating a customized itinerary of in-person and virtual tours during scout trips that often span multiple coastal communities
  • Surfacing off-market and coming-soon opportunities through the team’s private buyer network and broker relationships
  • Coordinating with relocation companies, HR teams, and corporate accounts when applicable
  • Negotiating with experience that consistently saves buyers significantly versus MLS averages
  • Managing remote signings via electronic and mobile notary services
  • Streamlining escrow, inspections, and closing across time zones
  • Providing concierge after-sale service including utility setup, vendor referrals, and community introductions

  4. Scout Trip Itinerary: in-person tours of the highest-fit homes, often spanning multiple cities in a single trip
  5. Virtual Showings: for buyers unable to travel during the search phase
  6. Offer and Negotiation: local pricing intelligence applied for the buyer’s advantage
  7. Remote Closing Coordination: electronic signing, mobile notary, time-zone-aware scheduling
