The Aaronson Group, led by REALTOR® Kevin Aaronson at Keller Williams Realty and KW Luxury Homes International, brings more than 28 years of California real estate experience and over 1,000 closings to coastal Orange County. Some transactions ask more of the agent and the family than a standard sale or purchase. Move-up purchases, luxury home sales, private and off-market transactions, trust and probate sales, divorce listings, luxury relocations, inherited properties, 1031 exchanges, and downsizing decisions each carry their own legal, tax, and emotional considerations. The pages below outline how the team supports clients through each of these situations with care, discretion, and an attorney-and-CPA-coordinated process.
