About:
A native Californian, Renee West has been a Newport Beach bayfront homeowner for over 25 years, and a local real estate agent, Realtor and broker associate in California's coastal areas of Orange County for nearly 20 years. Throughout her life, Renee has thrown herself into her work; employed as a schoolteacher for 14 years (while focusing on elementary education), working as a partner in a high-end Newport Beach car dealership, and now as a top-producing real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties since 1993. Living on the water herself, Renee is considered a waterfront property expert--and gives tours of bayfront homes for sale on her Duffy boat to interested clients. If you are interested in seeing the current waterfront listings for sale, please contact me for your own private tour on the bay--I would love to pull out my duffy boat so that you can see some of these luxury homes from the water! Her familiarity with the areas of Newport Beach, Newport Harbor and Corona del Mar in Southern California is so impressive that when a potential buyer or seller mentions a home's address--chances are, Renee will be able to describe the neighborhood, surrounding schools, and the positive points of the home. Well-connected and thorough, she draws from her complex understanding of the local amenities and services to match her clients with the perfect lifestyle and home to fit their needs. "My career in real estate has been very fulfilling," says Renee, "from holding open houses and giving tours of available properties, working in real estate provides so many opportunities to make new friends, connect with other residents, and share my passion for this wonderful beach community." Renee's attention to detail, energy and enthusiasm are prevalent during the course of representing her buyers and sellers, during a transaction or when marketing a listing. This consistent hands-on involvement in all of Renee's transactions pleases her first-time clients and repeat customers alike, giving Renee the well-deserved signature slogan of "Renee West is the best!" Since beginning her career in real estate, Renee West's performance and sales have consistently increased year after year. As a new real estate agent with Coldwell Banker, Renee quickly became a first-rate agent--bestowed first with Coldwell's President's Circle award, and then President's Elite awards. "I sold a house within the first six weeks of being an agent," she says, "I sold another a few weeks later. I thought, 'This is easy!'" Sought after by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties (BHHS), Renee moved her business--and within the first year, ranked within the top five percent of more than 50,000 Prudential agents nationwide. Four short years later, Renee consistently was within the top two percent of BHHS agents nationwide--a standard that she sets and maintains for herself. Her other prestigious awards include: BHHS's Legend Award, President's Circle, #1 producer for 2007 in the BHHS Corona del Mar office, and high rankings as a real estate leader in sales and production for both Orange County and southern California.
