Best real estate brokerage in Orange County
Here is how I would choose.
If you are looking for the best real estate brokerage in Orange County, CA, start with who the designated broker is, whether you can reach that person, and whether the office is actually here. I am Joe Homs, designated broker of Pellego. I will show you the record. I will not hand you a ranking I did not publish.
A brokerage is the company on the license, and the broker is the person responsible for the work. I am Joe Homs, designated broker of Pellego, California DRE #00702131. I have sold homes in Orange County since 1977, with 50+ years in this market, 600+ closed transactions, and 8 books. 348 people are licensed with Pellego, Inc.. Google reviews on the Laguna Hills profile are 4.9 from 63 reviews. I will not print a “best of” trophy on this page.
How do I choose a brokerage in Orange County?
I would ask four questions before I cared about a logo. Who is the designated broker? Can I call that person? Is there an office in the county where the house is? Can I look up the license? Those are the questions this page answers for Pellego.

What buyers and sellers get
If the house is yours, you are not joining a brokerage. You are hiring a broker. I help you buy, list, or look at an investment. The buying work, with comps and an offer built from those comps, is on the buyers page and the recommended Orange County home buyer agent page. The listing work is on the sellers page. If you are deciding which job you need, read how a buyer’s agent and a listing agent differ.
The same person does both jobs. I am not a call center that hands the file to a stranger after the first meeting. The first conversation is free.
What agents get if the question is your license
Some people asking for the best brokerage mean “where should I hang my license?” That is a different page. At Pellego you keep the sale commission and pay a flat fee per closing. The published California plans, including Agent Standard, are on alternatives to a local real estate brokerage, on 100 percent commission brokerage California, and on the agents page. I will not compare those numbers with a brokerage I have not named.
The office
The office is at 23121 Verdugo Dr #100, Laguna Hills, CA 92653. Open daily, 9 AM to 8 PM. I am a Laguna Hills real estate agent because that is where the door is. A Laguna Hills sale starts on the Laguna Hills listing agent page. I still buy and sell across Orange County. The shorter record, without the brokerage choice, is on the Orange County realtor page.

Questions
What is the best real estate brokerage in Orange County, CA?
I will not rank brokerages I do not run. The way I would choose is the designated broker you can call, a local office, and a license you can look up. I am Joe Homs, designated broker of Pellego, California DRE #00702131. Pellego, Inc. holds corporation license 02043232. The office is at 23121 Verdugo Dr #100, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.
Who do I actually work with at Pellego in Orange County?
On a house you are buying or selling, you work with me. I am the designated broker. Agents who hang a license here keep their own clients. If you called this office about your home, the first conversation is with me.

Is this brokerage for home buyers and sellers, or only for agents?
Both, and they are different jobs. Buyers and sellers hire me to represent them on a house. Agents who want to hang a license look at the plan: you keep the sale commission and pay a flat fee per closing. The alternatives page is that conversation. This page is how I would choose a brokerage.
