Broker Associate
Obeid Habibi represents Corona del Mar's most discerning buyers and sellers, with more than a quarter billion in career sales volume and a portfolio of transactions that have repeatedly redefined value in the community's most coveted enclaves. His work is defined by precision, discretion, and an instinct for what a property can become — not merely what it is.

Obeid's results speak for the standard he sets in Corona del Mar's luxury market:

Representation on Both Sides of the Transaction
Obeid represents sellers, buyers, and — in select circumstances — both parties in a single transaction. His record includes multiple eight-figure dual-agency closings in Corona del Mar's most coveted neighborhoods, including the $18,000,000 sale at 4539 Fairfield Drive in Cameo Shores and the record-setting $16,500,000 sale at 2889 Way Lane in China Cove, which established a neighborhood price-per-square-foot high. Dual representation at this level requires absolute discretion, balanced judgment, and the trust of both parties; Obeid has earned that confidence repeatedly across Corona del Mar's most consequential transactions.
A Considered Approach
A Corona del Mar resident with deep familiarity across its neighborhoods — Cameo's, Irvine Terrace, Shore Cliffs, Corona Highlands, The Village, Harbor View Hills, Spyglass Hill, and beyond — Obeid brings a designer's eye and a strategist's discipline to every engagement. He works closely with sellers well before a property is listed, advising on layout, finishes, staging, and the preparation work that separates a strong sale from a record-breaking one. For buyers, the same perspective allows him to identify properties with genuine upside and counsel acquisitions with long-term value in mind.
His representation is intentionally limited in volume and personal in execution. Clients work directly with Obeid through every phase — pre-market preparation, marketing strategy, negotiation, and close.
