Canyon to Coast

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Jacqueline Thompson — a pillar within coastal Orange County’s luxury real estate marketplace — recently sold an impressive Crystal Cove estate listed at just under $8 million, setting the record for one of the highest price per square foot sales in the Seacrest model this year.

Showcasing some of Crystal Cove’s most mesmerizing views — which span the ocean, harbor, and coastline, stretching all the way to Palos Verdes — the breathtaking residence located at 7 Moon Shell offers a unique lifestyle defined by luxury, comfort, and the best in indoor/outdoor living. Along with a spa, screening room, fitness center, guest casita, and outdoor living room and kitchen, the home features the latest technological advances, including customized lighting, security, media and sound systems, all with Crestron touch-screen controls.

“From a stunning contemporary aesthetic to the finest amenities and a coveted location, this home offers an incomparable living experience,” Jacqueline remarked. “Locating the ideal buyer for a property of this caliber requires not only experience, but time and patience — I’m thrilled that, through hard work, I was able to help my client procure the optimal value for their home.”

In fact, Jacqueline is known for her ability to deliver results, even amid challenging market conditions. Her accomplishments speak for themselves: in 2009, a slower time for the local luxury real estate market, she sold more than $31 million in property in Shady Canyon®. Jacqueline’s year to date sales activity for 2011 has already reached impressive heights as well, with $50 million in sales and $4.6 million in escrow.

She also has a lengthy list of successes throughout Newport Coast, Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach; guard-gated enclaves like Pelican Crest, Pelican Hill, Pelican Point, and of course Crystal Cove are her areas of specialty. Her unique and intelligent approach to real estate is fueled by an ongoing commitment to education on market trends and industry advances, plus a remarkable knack for the art of business — Jacqueline holds an BS from USC, a distinction that gives her a competitive edge over many of her peers.

Jacqueline’s strengths as a real estate professional are reinforced by the many amenities offered to agents at Surterre Properties®, a boutique brokerage that caters to the specialized needs and concerns exclusive to the luxury sector. The difference between Surterre and the others can be summed up in a word: service. From an award-winning in-house marketing and advertising team to a unique team-focused business model, everything Surterre does centers on raising the bar for personalized, one-on-one service. With such comprehensive support, Jacqueline confidently guarantees each client she represents a real estate experience that’s unparalleled in every regard.
