What I know about Newport Beach

Newport is a market of small areas with very different rules: an island cottage on a tiny lot, a bluff-top house in Corona del Mar, or a gated hillside home in Newport Coast. I explain what each one costs to own, not just to buy. My broker Joe Goodman has closed high-value California contracts for over 25 years.

Balboa Island and the Peninsula are walkable, dense and old: cottages and duplexes on lots that look small until you see the water view. Corona del Mar is the village on the bluffs, with the flower streets and a beach at the bottom of the hill. Newport Coast is different in kind: master-planned, gated, newer, with the resort and the state park next door. Eastbluff and the Back Bay areas are where families find a bigger house without the coastal premium.

The rules matter here more than in most cities. Coastal Commission oversight affects remodels and additions near the water. Newport Coast associations set what you can change and charge for what they maintain. Island parking is real, and short-term rental permits are limited. I read the CC&Rs and the permits for a home before you get attached to it.

Buyers at this level want quiet advice, not a pitch. We tour on video first if you're out of the country, then in person, and we bring an inspector who knows salt air and old plumbing. Sellers get discreet marketing, a real price built on the last months of asking prices in the same area, and Joe on every counter.

How we work.

The Tandem

“No agency matched them. A street in Long Beach did.”

Two people on every deal

I run the search, the showings and the marketing. My broker Joe Goodman has worked California contracts for over 25 years and reads every offer before it goes out. You get both of us for one commission.

Honest about the house

If the floor slopes, the street is loud or the price is wrong, I say it on the tour. Clients tell me that's the reason they trust the yes when it comes.

“I was nervous at first because Slava is young, and buying a house in LA isn’t something I wanted to take lightly. But I gave him a chance, and I’m glad I did. It was way more comfortable than I expected, and Joe Goodman helped too. These guys know what they’re doing.”

“I was pleasantly surprised how professional and knowledgeable he was for his age. His knowledge of the housing market helped me feel confident making an informed decision. He really took the time to learn my situation. Past agents never did.”

“I liked that Slava didn’t pretend every home was perfect. Sometimes he’d point out something uncomfortable we hadn’t noticed. At first it was surprising, but then I realized that’s exactly what I want from an agent.”

Questions I get about Newport Beach

Eastbluff, the Back Bay neighborhoods and parts of Newport Coast have yards, garages and the schools families ask about, in Newport-Mesa Unified. The island and the peninsula are more of a lifestyle than a family layout. I'll show you the difference in one afternoon.

Lots are small, parking is scarce, the ferry and the boardwalk are the charm, and older cottages can hide expensive work. Sea-level and flood questions belong in your due diligence. I bring the right inspector and the flood map to every island showing.

Most Newport Coast communities are gated with a master association and a sub-association. The dues cover the gates, landscaping and sometimes the roofs or the exterior. The documents say what you can change. I pull the budget, the reserves and the rules before you write an offer.

Often yes, within limits. Near the coast, additions and height changes can involve the city and the Coastal Commission, and timelines get long. If a remodel is part of your plan, I check what the lot allows before you buy the house for the plan.

Yes. Video tours, documents explained in Russian or English, and a straight opinion on each home. Newport draws buyers from far away, and I've been the person moving across an ocean myself.
