About
Paula Aragone has been selling real estate in Orange County for 23 years.

As CEO and President of Aragone & Associates at First Team Real Estate / Luxury Portfolio International, she has closed more than 900 transactions totaling over $900 million in sales. That record places her in the top 1% of agents nationwide and earned her the Chairman's Circle Diamond Award.

A large part of her business comes from families in transition: probate and trust sales, divorce, and seniors downsizing after decades in the same home. These sales rarely follow a normal timeline. There are court dates, siblings who live out of state, and houses that have not been updated in years. Paula is certified in probate and trust (CPRES), senior moves (SRES), luxury, REO, and relocation, and her team handles the parts that tend to overwhelm people, from repairs and cleanouts to staging and pricing. Her Maximize Value, Minimize Stress program covers that preparation work with no upfront cost to the seller.

She also represents buyers and sellers in ordinary moves across Orange County, from first homes to coastal estates.

Before moving to the United States, Paula completed four years of law school in her native country, a background that shows up every time a contract gets complicated. She works in both English and Spanish.

Paula has a solid understanding of her craft. Her knowledge of probate real estate, grasp of the Huntington Beach market, negotiation skills, judgment, and problem-solving abilities are outstanding. She has an excellent team at Aragone & Associates, and they treated the property as if it were their own.

What impressed me the most was Paula's decision not to simply sell the house. She devised a strategy, took care of the entire process, protected the property's value, and made what could have been a difficult situation seem straightforward.

There does not appear to be anything Paula cannot manage.

I would recommend Paula Aragone to anyone looking to sell a home promptly and for top dollar, particularly those dealing with a probate property in Huntington Beach or anyplace in Orange County. If you value your time and money, and you want someone who can transform a difficult issue into a successful end, Paula is the person for you.

Our family has worked with Paula Aragone for many years, and during that time she has helped us with five different home purchases in Yorba Linda as our family’s needs have changed and evolved.

There is a reason we continue to call Paula whenever we have a real estate decision to make. Her knowledge of the Yorba Linda market, her negotiation skills, and the sound advice she gives throughout the process have always given us tremendous confidence.

Paula has a way of making the home-buying experience enjoyable while never losing sight of the financial side of the decision. She looks beyond simply finding a house and helps you think through value, location, timing, resale potential, and whether the purchase truly makes sense for your family.

Over the years, we have come to see Paula as much more than our Realtor. She is a trusted real estate advisor whose experience and judgment we genuinely rely on. She is always honest, responsive, and incredibly skilled at negotiating on behalf of her clients.

We have been so happy with our experiences that we have also referred Paula to friends when they needed help buying a home, knowing they would be in excellent hands.

After five purchases together, we can confidently say that Paula Aragone and Aragone & Associates have consistently exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Paula to anyone looking to buy real estate in Yorba Linda or anywhere in Orange County.

I have had the pleasure of working with Paula Aragone for many years, both personally and for my family’s real estate and investment needs. Over that time, Paula has helped me purchase several investment properties, has listed and sold properties for me and my family, and most recently assisted me with two long-term real estate investments.

What I value most about Paula is her judgment. She has an extraordinary depth of knowledge and experience in real estate, but she also understands that every property decision has to make sense financially and strategically. She does not simply tell you what you want to hear. She gives thoughtful, honest advice and is never afraid to tell you when she believes a property or a deal is not the right decision.

Paula is an exceptional businesswoman, a skilled negotiator, and someone whose instincts I trust. She has the ability to look at a property from multiple perspectives, understand its long-term potential, recognize risks, and help you make decisions with confidence.

Over the years, she has become much more than our Realtor. I consider Paula a trusted advisor and someone whose opinion I genuinely value when making important real estate decisions. She is honest, knowledgeable, incredibly experienced, and she truly cares about her clients and their best interests.

Whether buying an investment property, selling a home, or making a long-term real estate decision, I know I can rely on Paula Aragone and Aragone & Associates for sound advice, exceptional representation, and a level of expertise that is very difficult to find.

I continue to tell all my friends that the very best agent in Orange County is Paula Aragone. She is one of the most trustworthy, hardworking, and dedicated women I have ever met, and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Paula is an incredible human being. You want trustworthy, honest representation, contact Paula Argone!

For many years, both my law partner and I at Merhab Robinson & Clarkson have confidently referred our clients to Paula Aragone for their real estate needs. We have always trusted her to represent our clients with professionalism, integrity, and exceptional results. However, referring clients is one thing—entrusting her with my own family's estate was something entirely different.
After the passing of my parents, I served as Trustee of our family trust and was responsible for selling one of our family's most valuable assets while fulfilling my fiduciary duties to my siblings and the other beneficiaries. As both a trustee and a business attorney, I understood the importance of making well-informed decisions, maximizing value, and ensuring that every step of the process could withstand scrutiny. I needed someone whose judgment, valuation expertise, negotiation skills, and integrity I could trust without hesitation.
What impressed me most was Paula's ability to determine the property's true market value despite the absence of meaningful comparable sales. Rather than relying solely on traditional valuation methods, she developed a thoughtful strategy based on her market expertise and recommended only a handful of strategic improvements—including fresh paint and professional staging—that significantly enhanced the property's presentation without unnecessary expense. I was equally impressed by Paula's professionalism throughout the transaction. She was instrumental in guiding and supporting the buyer's agent whenever needed, helping keep the transaction moving smoothly while ensuring everyone remained focused on achieving a successful outcome.

The results exceeded every expectation. The property was listed at $2,500,000, generated multiple all-cash offers within the first week, sold for $2,688,000, and closed in just 11 days. The purchase price was hundreds of thousands of dollars over the estimated value on Zillow.
As someone whose profession centers on negotiation, I do not offer praise lightly. Paula's ability to assess value, negotiate strategically, and execute a well-defined plan is truly exceptional. I was impressed to watch her teach the buyer’s broker how to respond to any potential negative comment or objection from the buyer. Equally important, every commitment she made from our very first meeting was fulfilled exactly as promised. She anticipated challenges before they arose, communicated consistently throughout the process, and managed every detail with professionalism, confidence, and precision.
Having referred many clients to Paula over the years, I already knew she was an outstanding real estate professional. After personally experiencing her representation as Trustee for my own family's estate, I can say with complete confidence that she exceeded even my highest expectations. She helped me fulfill my fiduciary responsibilities with confidence, knowing that every decision was made in the best interests of the trust and its beneficiaries while achieving an extraordinary outcome.
I recommend Paula Aragone without reservation to anyone buying or selling real estate, particularly high-net-worth individuals, trustees, executors, attorneys, and families navigating trust or probate matters. If you value sound judgment, exceptional valuation expertise, strategic negotiation, and an advisor who consistently protects your interests while maximizing results, you will not find anyone better.

Paula and her team were amazing at helping us sell our home and purchase a new one. She helped us get the older house ready and staged well which aided in the $100k over asking final price. For the purchase of our new house, Paula was amazing at pointing out details in the purchase agreement and property that were in our favor and we would have never considered. I have referred many clients over the years to Paula but working with her firsthand showed me how amazing her and her team are. They will take care of you and get the best deal for you whether it be a sale or a purchase.
