John Clyde Allen Real Estate

This sale was bittersweet as I represented an amazing family that poured into their friends and family. They are beginning their next chapter out of state and I wish them the best of luck. This sale went about as smooth as can be. Through multiple listing channels of 1000’s of postcards mailed, online marketing paid and organic, and open houses. I was able to procure multiple offers within 1 week of listing and selling above list price. I can’t take all the credit as the home was immaculate inside and out. Designer wife and Real Estate Husband for the win.

I was able to find this property off market for my buyers. Through great interworking real estate relationships, I was able to secure this property for them. Since this home was bought, the sellers gave it an entire refresh and it looks amazing… If they let me, I’ll post those pictures soon!

This sale was represented by John Allen and Brendon Guichet. We represented ourselves as the buyer. Yes, we bought this through our syndication company Oran Capital. This marked the 2nd acquisition of 2025 and our 13th acquisition since 2020.

Every so often a home comes along that checks every box; space, design, and location. This single level Signal Hill home sits on one of the largest lots in the community and perfectly blends comfort with intention. With high ceilings, custom details, and a backyard built for gathering under the stars, it’s the kind of place that feels like home the moment you step inside.

Through strategic in house marketing I was able to secure a buyer for my seller prior to going to market ensuring a smooth close.

Did someone ask for a turnkey multi-family property in Mesa Del Mar? This property is owned by Brendon Guichet and John Allen at Oran Capital.

This property was purchased in November of 2023 for 1.7 Million dollars. Since acquisition we replaced roofs, remodeled all 4 units, and built 2 ADU’s. Listed for $3,385,000 This sale represents close to a 5 cap in Costa Mesa!

💥Sold Off-Market Undisclosed Location in Dover Shores, Newport Beach💥

Through great networking in a team effort John Allen (also employee of the month in August) sold this single family residence off-market with a fantastic agent for $3,650,000. In a very smooth and clean escrow I was also able to identify an up-leg 1031 exchange into a 6 unit (also off-market that I will be posting soon) in Eastside Costa Mesa.

This sale marks one of many off market that I do all year round. Feel free to shoot me a dm if you’re looking to buy or sell in OC. I truly believe I am one of the most knowledgeable brokers in Orange County.

As a promise to my loyal fans. I’m actually posting new listings and closings. Here comes another one and it’s a stunner. In my favorite neighborhood in Costa Mesa, the “State Streets”. (I’m biased since I grew up on Iowa) 3249 Michigan boasts exquisite design and functionality for the retired couple or the family of 6. Reach out asap, this one’s going to go fast.

As I mentioned in my last post I rarely post of closed deals much less “daily dealings” of my everyday life in various aspects of Real Estate.

I represented this seller with a seamless close from their townhome in Costa Mesa to a single family home in Huntington.

This is a long time trusted client of mine and we strategically searched for a SFR in various markets before we put their home on the market.

I’m bad at posting…. That said it’s been a very active and productive year for the first 6 months. Multiple closings (more to come) multiple Investments and purchases made.

This was a special one. 20,000 square foot lot! Massive ranch single family home. Perfect layout and backyard made my job easy.

I was able to premarket this home and went on the market knowing I would have at least 3 offers in hand. First weekend open house later and multiple offers we negotiated the highest price with best terms for both the seller and the buyer. Successfully ensuring a smooth close and getting the seller to her next spot.

Another successful sale and on to the next.

Couldn’t have done it without the man the myth the legend Brendon Guichet . Still waiting for my “atta boy” but he knows that when I don’t get my words affirmation it makes me work even harder. Smart man.
