Luxury Realtor in Dana Point – FAQs

Straight answers from a Dana Point luxury real estate agent with 30+ years of local experience.

What does a luxury realtor in Dana Point actually do?

A luxury realtor in Dana Point represents high-end buyers and sellers with white-glove service: private showings, discreet off-market access, bespoke pricing, and negotiation across multi-million-dollar deals. Expect deep knowledge of Monarch Beach, Lantern District/Bay, and The Strand/Headlands.

How do I choose the best luxury realtor in Dana Point?

Interview multiple agents and request a written, property-specific strategy before signing.

Why work with a Dana Point luxury real estate agent instead of a generalist?

Luxury agents manage privacy, appraisal risk on unique homes, and negotiation against seasoned counterparts. They also source quiet listings through local networks and yacht-club/concierge channels not visible on portals.

What’s your track record as a luxury home realtor in Dana Point?

Susan Chase brings 30+ years in coastal OC, $200M+ closed, and 75+ luxury transactions in Dana Point—with record price-per-sq-ft results and multi-offer wins (11 offers in 4 days → $150K over ask). Learn more on the About and Selling pages.

How do you market a luxury home in Dana Point?

  • Premium media: cinematic video, drone, twilight, 3D tours.
  • Targeted reach: wealth audiences, relocation buyers, yacht/club networks.
  • Global portals + private syndication; NDA showings when needed.
  • Listing prep & staging playbook (full plan).

How long do luxury homes take to sell in Dana Point?

Well-positioned homes typically sell in 30–50 days. Ultra-luxury or uncommon architecture may take longer; pricing and prep are decisive.

How do you price a luxury home in Dana Point?

We blend comps with view premiums, architectural adjustments, harbor/beach proximity, and buyer pool velocity by enclave. See recent ranges in our neighborhood guide.

Do you work with out-of-state luxury buyers relocating to Dana Point?

Yes—virtual tours, escrow coordination, and local vendor teams for inspections and repairs. Start with our out-of-state buyer guide and moving checklist.

What cost-of-living details matter to luxury buyers?

Property taxes (~1.25% of assessed value), HOA for gated/waterfront communities, insurance, and harbor/boating costs. See our cost of living guide.
