JUST SOLD | Lantern District, Dana Point
Sometimes finding the right home starts with something other than bedrooms, square footage or price.
For this buyer, it started with how he wanted to live.
Less time in the car. More time enjoying the neighborhood. Coffee, restaurants, shops, parks and the harbor all within walking distance.
He knew the Lantern District was where he wanted to be. My job was to help him find the home that made that lifestyle possible.
And we did.
24722 Del Prado Avenue, #408
Dana Point
Sold for $1,790,000
Because the right move isn't always just about the home.
Sometimes, it's about the life you want to build around it.
Every move has a story. This was his.

After calling this Dana Point home since 1984, my sellers were ready for their next chapter.
But they didn't want a traditional home sale.
They had some very specific priorities—and that led us to a very different strategy.
Swipe to see how we sold 33062 Elisa Drive for $1,800,000 without ever putting it on the open market.

Dana Point Harbor is changing, and the transformation is becoming harder to miss.
The revitalization is already underway, bringing a new look and feel to a place that has been part of Dana Point’s identity for generations.
And understandably, people have very different feelings about it.
For some, the changes are exciting. For others, it’s difficult to watch a place they’ve known and loved for years evolve.
Either way, Dana Point is entering a new chapter. As Dana Point Harbor continues to change, what are you most excited to see? And what do you hope never changes?

Sometimes the real work begins when the unexpected happens.
Grateful for the trust my clients place in me to help them navigate every part of the sale.

There are a lot of things that make Dana Point feel like home—and for me, the places that welcome our four-legged family members are definitely one of the best parts.
This week, I brought a very special lunch date to Craft House: Maple from Promise 4 Paws.
Craft House has long been one of my favorite local spots, and their dog-friendly patio made it the perfect place to spend a little time with this sweet girl while introducing her to all of you.
Maple is a 10-week-old Leonberger mix, and she is ready NOW for her forever home.
If you're interested in Maple or one of her littermates, reach out to Promise 4 Paws or DM me and I'll connect you.
I'll see you next time at another great local spot here in Dana Point... and with another adorable pup.

Just Sold in Sea Canyon, Dana Point
My clients knew exactly where they wanted to live: Sea Canyon.
They were drawn to the community, the parks, great schools, proximity to the beach, and the kind of neighborhood where they could picture building their life with their new pup.
The challenge? They lost two homes to multiple offers.
Rather than give up on the neighborhood they wanted, we changed our strategy. I found them an off-market home in Sea Canyon—and this time, everything came together.
That's what I love about real estate. Finding the right home isn't always just about bedrooms, bathrooms, or what's currently listed for sale. Sometimes it's about understanding how you want to live and finding a way to get you there.
Welcome home to Sea Canyon.

Thinking about selling a rental property but worried about capital gains taxes?
You're not alone.
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that there are only two choices:
• Keep being a landlord.
• Sell and pay a large tax bill.
Depending on your goals, there may be other strategies worth exploring.
That's exactly what this week's Question from the Community is about.
