Torelli Realty Ranked as the Top Office in Costa Mesa Real Estate Sales

Submitted by Anika Ramirez

Torelli Realty, an independent real estate company focused almost exclusively on buyers and sellers in Costa Mesa, Calif., ranked first among all real estate offices serving Costa Mesa in three key indicators of realty success over the last 12 months. According to Real Data Strategies Inc.’s recent analysis of multiple listing service (MLS) data, Torelli Realty led offices active in Costa Mesa with the highest number of sales, highest property values and highest average sale price from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.

“Our success at Torelli Realty is due to a very simple formula we have followed since we began: We focus on Costa Mesa and know each neighborhood and practically every property; we aggressively help our clients showcase their homes in ways that will generate maximum appeal; and we know the real estate industry inside and out, during boom times and lean times,� explained Valerie Torelli, founder and president of Torelli Realty, one of the few real estate companies located in and dedicated to Costa Mesa properties.

For the past year, Torelli Realty was the top real estate office representing buyers and sellers in Costa Mesa, with 49 homes sold for a total value of $31.7 million, according to Real Data Strategies Inc.’s analysis. Torelli Realty also ranked first in average sale price of Costa Mesa listings sold with an average price of $702,000, more than a 10 percent increase over its second place competitor.

“Torelli Realty is proof that an office’s size or affiliation with a national brand are not nearly as important as the quality of its leadership and its agents,� said Patrick Veling, president of Real Data Strategies Inc., a Brea, Calif. independent real estate research firm. “Valerie Torelli and her outstanding agents consistently outperform much larger companies and offices who have tried for years to compete in Costa Mesa. Their office is proof that all real estate truly is local, and that local experience is what counts most in a challenging market.�

“We are very pleased to see the results of the latest statistics from Real Data Strategies. Even during these past 12 months, when the real estate industry has fallen dramatically, we have remained at the top by continuing to find opportunities and making client care a main priority,� Torelli added. “We know how to operate in the current housing market and our clients are benefiting from this expertise.�
