Caravan brings industry leaders together at Orange County’s finest estates
Newly constructed, luxurious and comfortable, 223 Jasmine in Corona del Mar was the perfect setting for the event.
“The caravan is a great example of the many benefits that we provide for our top agents,” said Patti Brotherton of Prudential California Realty. “Aside from giving our leading agents a chance to establish new connections and learn from each other in the process, the caravan is an excellent vehicle for generating added publicity for our luxury sellers.”
This month’s Orange County Collection Caravan was held in partnership with Pickford Escrow and
HomeServices Lending, on May 22 at 223 Jasmine Avenue in Corona del Mar, a Santa Barbara style home with sleek designer-selected custom finishes. Over 100 agents attended the invitation-only networking event to exchange ideas and learn from featured speaker Jim McInerney, a La Jolla market expert and a graduate of the University of Southern California.
“Jim shared a number of valuable insights about how he has built a successful business in spite of the challenging market conditions of the past few years,” says Brotherton, Prudential’s regional vice president of Orange County. “The various techniques and strategies that he has employed to ensure that his services match the needs of his clients were very well received by our agents.”
With stunning architectural details and views to Catalina, 223 Jasmine provided a luxurious and comfortable setting for guests of the caravan. An elevator provides easy access to every level of this newly constructed home, which offers slate floors, a wine room and four bedrooms.
The spacious formal dining room seamlessly blends the natural and built environments, with walls of glass that open to reveal a dramatic living wall with integrated water features. Meticulously designed, the exterior spaces also include a roof top deck with panoramic ocean views and an outdoor patio with a built-in gas fire pit.
Offered by Beverly ‘BJ’ Johnson and Brenda McCroskey, the home includes a chef’s grade kitchen with quartz stone countertops, professional series appliances, custom cabinets and a hand-painted back splash. The master suite is an extravagant and secluded retreat, with beamed ceilings, a Venetian plaster fireplace surround, a private covered balcony and a spa-inspired bathroom, which is complete with travertine and marble accents.
“I was amazed by the amount of care and attention that were applied to every inch of this home,” adds Brotherton, a 35-year industry veteran. “With over $500,000 in price reductions it’s really an incredible opportunity.”
